Christmas plans!

(1/5) > >>

Barmymoo:
Now we've definitely had a thread like this before, but I decided to start a new one because the old one is probably huge already.

I'm making plans for Christmas food, and I've already put up my tiny tiny Christmas tree (on my desk - I don't really have space for one that goes on the floor). Secret Santa presents are all wrapped and sent, and a few family presents have been bought. I've got a fairly exciting travel schedule - Jens arrives on the 22nd and we're off around the country visiting friends and having parties.

Christmas dinner will be at noon/early afternoon on the 25th and we're having Quorn roast, roast potatoes and parsnips, buttered carrots, steamed sprouts, cranberry sauce and maybe some vegetarian stuffing, with Christmas pudding to follow (with cream and brandy butter of course!). I'm trying to pack all the traditional British Christmas foods into the few days we're actually at home, so we'll be having a Christmas lunch picnic on the 24th in the queue for the Nine Lessons and Carols service - mince pies, fancy cheeses, Christmas cake, some kind of sandwiches probably. Obviously as vegetarians we're not having turkey.

What are you all planning for Christmas? Especially, what are non-UK/US people having for Christmas dinner? And indeed USians who don't have British-influenced dinner?

BeoPuppy:
I'm in the process of drawing up a menu for the third day of christmas. Probably a bird of some kind. Turkey ... or duck ... Don't know yet. It'll be novel and exciting either way. Also, our tree is over two meters. Anf this year we have one especially for the little one. And it's ... a little one.

Lines:
I don't really know what I'm doing for Christmas dinner yet, but I am spending it with my mom. (Michael will be visiting his family out in Utah.) Michael and I already have the tree up, but we're going to finish decorating it tonight. I've also got a few gifts wrapped, but I need to finish making some others and wrap them, too. I also need to hurry up and finish the kitty toys I was planning on making. And getting my mom's gifts, because I haven't done that yet... D:

pwhodges:
I shall be entertaining a group of family and friends the weekend before Christmas; have no plans yet for Christmas Day itself; will spend 27th-31st in Germany with my son and grandchildren.

celticgeek:
My daughter and son-in-law will be spending the week before Christmas, and up to Christmas Day, with us.  We are planning a Christmas Eve meal of prime rib, with many trimmings.

We are also planning to visit several things in the area, including the Musical Instrument Museum, and we are also planning to see The Hobbit.
