25th December, my place.

All-day Netflix - no sermons, no speeches and definitely no news.

Full English for breakfast.

Main meal. Roast chicken (don't like turkey) with Yorkshires, sage and onion stuffing, roast spuds, sprouts and other veg and loads of gravy all followed by apple pie and custard for afters.

Home made thick chicken soup and a chunk of freshly made bread with loads of butter for tea, with maybe a few mince pies to finish off.

G&T and nibbles for "supper". :D

Paracetamol and water by the bed. :oops:

Sorted - no cheffy stuff needed. ;)

I'll look forward to that Jo :Hi: :Hi:

I've ordered a rib of beef, Jan is cooking the turkey and we're sharing everything else. >She's making the roasties and gravy, because she's far better than me :oops:

And a lot of wine :lol: :lol:

Sounds good to me Frank :D :lol: To be honest any Christmas dinner I didn't have to cook would be a great treat - I can count those rare occasions on the fingers of one hand :roll: :lol:

We went to Jan and Joquinha's last year Kaz, the first time in about 40 years I didn't cook. Bliss. No washing up either :lol: Boys and dishwasher ;)

Sounds like heaven! I've cooked for all but three or four years since I married in 1977, so over 40 years as well :cute: :lol:

I think Frank's got it well sorted, TBH! I probably wouldn't get much further than the Full English though, haven't got the "capacity" these days .... :)

I’d be happy with Frank’s soup and bread and butter option for my Christmas dinner :Hi:
