What's for Christmas lunch at your house?

[Amazing-grace]

I asked this question last year, and was really interested in all the replies.
We are eating out this year so I'm not cooking
First time in 20yrs!!

We will still be having a melon, salmon or sobet starter, turkey, stuffing, brussel sprouts, carrots, cabbage, roast potatoes, new potatoes and gravy......ooh, cranberry sauce with the turkey too.
followed by, Christmas pud and cream or custard, or a selection of sweets, gateau etc...
Cheese & biscuits
Coffee & mints, and a stretcher to carry us home on after all that food

How about you, what's on the menu at your house?

No Christmas lunch or breakfast at my house.

I'm working 8-12 Christmas morning and will need to race home, do last minute food prep for that night, load the car up, and DH and I will need to be at my parents' for 2:30.

Our family works and eats at our town's Christmas Community Dinner on the 25th. Our church sponsors the event and we serve turkey and all the trimmings to anyone who wants to join us. The theme is "no one should be alone at Christmas" and we have many poor or homeless along with lots of elderly who have no one to celebrate with. It's a fun and festive way to spend the afternoon. Besides working bussing tables or serving desserts, we usually join the group that sings Christmas carols.

That night, we'll have home-made honey roasted ham at home. In fact, it's in the oven to cook all night tonight because the next few days are going to be hectic.

It might be popcorn and soda... we might go see The Lion King in IMAX Christmas afternoon.

Christmas dinner is salmon, I think, with lots of other food also. (We are all so sick of turkey and ham!)

I am making BBQ ribs for Christmas dinner. We have a traditional salad made with pineapple, cream cheese, chocolate and cherries, and DS is making twice baked potatoes. We will have raw vegies and condiments and peppermint dessert. Of course, we will also have lefse and a whole array of sweets!

Mmmmmmmm.............All sounds wonderful, not sure about the chocolate in the salad though
