What is your ideal Xmas Dinner?

I would prefer Christmas off, I must admit.. more fun and rubbish on the TV. It's the only time of the year it's OK to laze around!

Neither. We get all the public holidays around that time and I have an easy time at work between Christmas and New Year!!!

My perfect Xmas meal is Steak and Chips and a Box of After Eight Mints

Followed by a bottle of red wine

Good question. Christmas dinner is...

When we were kids:

Starter- Homemade soup.

Main- It was usually chicken with mashed potates and gravy with mushrooms in, plus carrots. I love that meal, but only when my mum makes it

Dessert- Ice cream.

Grown up (ish): Now that I go to my boyfriends mum's for Xmas (with my own mum in tow) we have a choice! She goes overboard. Mainly because she loves too host (a bit like Monica from friends).

Starter- Soup of some variety, Garlic Mushrooms, Pate on toast, Prawn cocktail & Cranberry and cheese things she bought from M&S.

Main- A choice of Chicken or Beef with gravy and mountains of mashed potates, roast potates and every vegetable known to man. Including honey coated parsnips...Heaven.

Dessert- Vanilla Vienetta & chocolate fudge cake.

There's usually cheese and crackers later and a good snooze on the couch.

Since my B-day is the day after Xmas I'll add that too.

When we were kids:

Main- Steak pie with potates, carrots, mushrooms and drowned in gravy.

Dessert- Chocolate off the tree & ice cream (if there's any left)

Now

Starter- Homemade soup

Main- Chicken with mashed potates and gravy with mushrooms in, plus carrots.

Dessert- Whatever's left from the day before

That was a long post.... Guess I'm bored today.
