Hey, it's better than eating the same food twice.
The Seldom Killer:
Barmy - I'd say the quality of plan depends on what you're cooking.
I'd suggest cooking something that improves by sitting overnight like Hugh F-W's Aubergine Parmagiana as an easily transportable dish that improves overnight and is tolerant of fluctuations in temperature.
Barmymoo:
I'll be making a Quorn, leek and mushroom pie and a Quorn roast. The roast is on Christmas day itself, and the pie will be made probably on the 21st or 22nd and frozen in portions straight away. I considered buying some kind of coolbag but I think I won't bother - an hour in a car in late December isn't going to cause too much temperature change, surely? Aubergine Parmagiana is on my list of things to try cooking, but since it takes over an hour (which will mean two with me) and requires ingredients I don't have, it won't be in the next couple of weeks.

We always do a classic thanksgiving-style dinner - turkey, potatoes, veggies, pie. My only culinary contribution will be a bowl of olives, which only my grandpa and I liked. He died a few years ago, but I still have to have olives on christmas. Other than that, I pretty much just show up, eat, and argue about politics until we all drink enough wine to get sleepy.
This year will be a bit weird, though - it's the first time in a over a decade that my entire family will be together at my grandmother's house (about 30 people), which sort of makes me worry about her health. But it should be fun, too - I'm the oldest cousin, and most of the others are still in elementary school, so I'll get to play with all their toys vicariously experience the joy of children opening presents.
Bluesummers:
I will be visiting my sister-in-law for Christmas...and her two unruly daughters. >_<
Bring on the rum.
