So what is everyone having for christmas dinner?

I'm having Rollade (rolled roast), parsnip mash, roast tatties, brussel sprouts, glazed carrots, dundee cake, mince pies and if i can still manage a slice of yule log. And anything else I find in my cupboard :wah:

I'm getting two christmas dinners!

First since we celebrate Christmas eve in Sweden and not christmas day and second since my boyfriend is Irish and wants his turkey

The swedish "Julbord" will consist of ham, meatballs, pate, ribs w apple and prunes, little sausages, pickled herring, eggs w shimps and mayo.

This will be served with an assortment of vegetables. Also lots of Glögg will be drunk.

On christmas day we'll have turkey with roast potatos, brussel sprouts and sauce.

Roast chicken, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, butter beans, peas, Watergate salad & rolls

Dessert will be a coconut cake and pecan pie.

I always forget something until the last minute ... then it's too late! :-3

Is that similar to the Eastern European Wigilia celebrating Christmas Eve or more of the old Norse Yule extending over the whole Christmas period?

Wouldn't dare serve that dish in this house - it would take off

So has everybody enjoyed their christmas dinner?

I know i did, the rolled roast and oven dish did not explode this year (don't ask :wah:) and the rest came out pretty nice..

except i made waaaay to much, so i have mince pies and home made sausage rolls coming out my earholes!

Oh yes, Chloe_88, very much! I just finished a big lunch of leftovers and will probably be doing that for most of the week. Definitely no cooking for a few days!

Cooked lasagna for Christmas, with all the side dishes. Easiest fancy dinner I ever had to prepare.

It was awesome! Littleone won't eat it, so I made it when I knew she'd be off with dad eating turkey and such.

My dog loved it! It did not love my dog however... she had to be bannished to the garage for a couple of hours.

That has to be the most predictable outcome ever :wah:
