Christmas dinner from Publix...?

[mbb]

I was reading over on the camping board, and someone mentioned that you can order turkey and all the trimmings from publix, all ready to go...

Anyone know any more details?
Or anywhere else for great takeout options over Christmas?

Thanks!

all the grocery stores have something - so did Walmart (going by Thanksgiving not Christmas) - so did some of the restuarants.

I got a turkey at walmart and did it myself. they had some great bargins - I got the turkey for $0.89 a pound.

We did this Christmas 2004, our kids did not want to go to the parks on Christmas day , they wanted a more traditional family Christmas at our villa, open presents, eat, watch tv, eat
You need to order in advance, just a couple of days before Christmas eve and then pick up on Christmas eve,there were two sizes, small to feed 7-10 people or large for 10-14 I think.
We ordered the small, only 4 of us, I think it cost approx $35 there was;
Turkey, mashed potato, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy(white) and a veg (green beans , I think).
There was plenty of food we just added a couple of things to make it more like home eg roast potatoes, brown gravy.
We thought it was excellent value, at home I would pay almost that much for the turkey!
It also saved me cooking all day like I usually do at home on Christmas.
Next time we are over for Christmas we will order it again for sure,
Also, I was really glad that our kids persuaded us to stay "home" on Christmas day and not go to MK as it rained all day, we watched the parade on the TV

Next Christmas I'm going to try this. We are going to Disney for Christmas. This would be great. We have a fridge in our room for left overs!!!!!
