Even though I am bah humbug, my family gets together and celebrates as tradition, I rotate the cooking each year with my mum and my sister.
This year I'm doing smoked salmon with melon and prawn cocktail with fresh brown bread to start. Then roast beef (we all hate turkey) with yorkshire puds, roast totties, and veg, all covered in gravy. Not decided on pudding yet, as traditional christmas pudding is vile.
No doubt the chocolates on the tree will have been eaten by christmas day by the kids, who always find them all as they are looking through the presents and shaking them etc to work out what they are!

Never mind xmas,I've already got my Hogmany planned!!!

I like the whole "togetherness" of christmas day. Its just all the crap that surrounds christmas that sucks. Except the food.

why not have trifle?!

my family also has roast beef turkey not nice

my gran makes a big christmas dinner with like prawn cocktail for a few of them and udually something different just for me coz im a fussy bugger hehe then the beef with roast tatties and veg then something like trifle or a nice gateau, we had a lovely mandarin gateau from fisher and donaldson last year.

i only really eat turkey when its a works christmas do where turkey is the only thing on the menu hehe. if i have a go making dinner will probably have something like chicken coz i will no doubt go to my grans or something for main meal...too much roast beef would drive me nuts!

does anyone have a meal on new years day with the family? mine does, my grandad usually gets a huge steak pie from the butchers and we get that again with roast tatties and veg

Getting drunk and watching only fools and horses and all the other xmas stuff.

Yay!
I'm starting my Christmas shopping tomorrow.

I watched Elf today and now I wish it was Christmas so much sooner.
And it's so right about it's better giving presents than getting them.
I love seeing peoples faces because last year my presents were great and everyone was really surprised.

And this year Kenzie will be old enough to realise what is happening and I can take him to see Santa.

I think we are booking somewhere for Christmas dinner this year as my mum is working Boxing Day and can't be dealing with all the cooking.
Does anyone know of anywhere in Dundee that do nice Christmas meals?

I was just thinking to myself this morning about how close it actually was till christmas. It's all about getting presies though innit.

gabrillowise · 12th October 2005, 08:32 AM

I like Christmas, and people acting all cynical about it bores the hell out of me. So cliched.

FuriousGeorge · 12th October 2005, 08:41 AM
