Next, the sausage rolls.

Again, a meat option and if I can get it to work, a vegan option. They kinda worked last year but you pretty much had to put the whole thing in your mouth before it fell to bits. Delicious though.

Only 9 for us tomorrow but for the second year running, the family chose to come to us even though we struggle for room in our little place.

We're clearly doing something right.

Christmas = family, space to fit them all in is optional - they'll make the space they'll need.

Oh, and good cooking helps :-)

Just had our Roast, we've got boxing day leftovers for Christmas dinner tomorrow.

I for one am sick of doing it all and I never enjoy my Christmas Day meal.

Autism and Christmas Dinner big get together never work well so for the first time I'm saying stuff it to Tradition and keeping my day tomorrow calm.

I'm with you. I usually dread the whole affair. At some point I find a way to sneak away for some quiet time.

It's tough to do so, and to return without notice. The last part is important, as well, or I end up having to explain to a few dozen people where I have been.
