Breakfast is usually bacon sandwiches with half a selection box

For dinner it will be turkey dinner with all the trimmings, no starter, possibly profiteroles for dessert and a bottle of Asti Martini. At tea-time we will have a sponge Christmas cake with a cup of tea and a nap

Xmas is my fancy pants day for cooking, so breakfast is a glass of Bucks Fizz with smoked salmon and bagels. Lunch is a starter of prawns and melon, followed by the traditional turkey roast. Dessert is going to be a bit of everything this year as its my first dinner with just me and my kids, so DD wants cheesecake, DS5 wants traditional Xmas pudding and DS3 wants jelly. Mummy would quite like profiteroles but they can wait till tea, which will be all sorts of cold cuts, cheeses, and more puddings.

Yes, Xmas is about food in my house

We are staying with my parents. Breakfast is usually a fry up and some choccies. We have the traditional Christmas Dinner with Champagne. DH is a vegetarian so is has a vegetarian alternative. This year it is butternut squash casserole and he will have the same veggies as us. We usually don't have Christmas Pudding until Boxing Day preferring biscuits and cheese for supper on Christmas Day.

Toast and tea for breakfast to save room, for dinner we have prawn cocktail, dd has bread sticks, we have a turkey dinner and for dessert we have a luxury chocolate cake, and we have champagne to drink. In the evening we have some cheese and biscuits with more champagne.

Well, considering I now have my fiance's family's traditions at Christmas...
Christmas dinner is
Salad
Lasagna
Spaghetti
Garlic Bread
Cold Stone Creamery Cake

(Personally I think this is b/c of who hosts Christmas in the family is too lazy to do a turkey dinner)

Same as our breakfast, except without the bacon sandwiches!!! LOL

Usually veg and a roast of some kind for us, haven't decided on turkey or pork yet. M&S pork and chestnut stuffing is a must in our house - I could have that instead of the meat!!

Then I have to cook again on Boxing Day for MIL, aaaahhhh - that is a VERY long day, feels like it lasts about 3 weeks!!

The kids will have cereal and I can't stomach anything till after 11 a.m.

Christmas dinner at mine...me and my son (4 years) and daughter(2 years)
Mum and Dad,my brother,my sister and her daughter (18 years) will hopefully be enjoying turkey,roasts,mash,carrots,brussels,peas and sweetcorn,stuffing and gravy with Christmas pudding and cream for adults and icecream snowmen for my children.I think Im quite a traditionalist and really looking forward to the day.

Tea will be just me and the kids ...turkey sandwiches probably

We love Christmas time,

Sausages and humbugs. Lots of bah-humbug.

 

[alisonbestford]

DD (22) and DS (19) will want beans on toast to soak up the beer from Xmas Eve....!

Then, turkey, beef and veggie option (for dd) with all the trimmings before me driving around, like a maniac, to drop off the 'big kids' at Dads', boyfriends' etc

Then, like AndRu, lots of 'Bah-Humbugging' whilst Eve and walk round to our friends to carry on the festivities

Breakfast will be the same as every day - croissants, lunch will be a Gary Rhodes asparagus, apple and walnut Salad followed by turkey with all the trimmings and chocolate christmas pudding from the Hotel du Chocolat. For supper, I just buy a dozen or so boxes of M&S party canapes which we eat with turkey sandwiches and gerkins on Chritmas night and boxing day night.

 

[Lisash]

Whatever is on the menu at Le Cellier

 

[Ware Bears]

Cereal and toast with Bucks Fizz for brekkie, then for lunch it will be avocado prawns, then turkey with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pud. All washed down with a bottle of Asti.

 

[Cyrano]

Off to MIL's so it will be Turkey cooked for 2 days okay 6 hours on Christmas eve and then reheated on Christmas day I'm told it is a generational thing.
I used to take my own dinners of veal or rare beef, but it became cumbersome so I'll probably have beef very well done

 

[Harvestmooner]

We live in New Hampshire in the USA, but my mother is from Cheltenham, so we will be having a very English Christmas again!!! (We all love it!)
For breakfast we start with dripping cakes/lardy cakes with some tea. For lunch we will have a nice roast with brussel sprouts, roast potatoes and all the fixings. For dessert we will have a triffle, plum pudding with Bird's custard and a chocolate torte. We always start our Christmas meal with Christmas crackers(the ones with the hats, jokes and toy inside)
Does anyone else use Christmas crackers???
I love this thread!!!
Happy Holidays to all!!
