We're having one of them turkey in a duck in a goose in a pheasant and so on this year, never tried it before so hope its nice, that will be with the usual roast tatties, carrots, sprouts and sausages in bacon. Don't do starters but dessert will be Christmas Pudding and Eton Mess I think (not with strawberries though, passion fruit I think).
There are 25 of us and we go down the half traditional half Italian route.
We normally have Antipasto usually including prawns, salamis, olives, peppers, breads. Then we have a home-made pasta course. This year it is ravioli. Then we have a turkey, leg of lamb and a ham with all the trimmings, then a mountain of desserts.
New years day is normally a repeat of Christmas day Mwahahaha!

I bought one of those '3 bird affairs' last Christmas, and was very disappointed. It was more stuffing than meat, wouldn't buy it again. This year they're doing a '4 bird affair'. Won't buy that either. we are having roast turkey crown and roast gammon with all the trimmings. It will beat last year!!!
Our Christmas dinner wont be until boxing day when my brother is here. We'll be having soup for starter, probably lentil. Ham joint, roast potatoes, carrots and onions, brussel sprouts, sage and onion stuffing and chipolatas for main. And my own homemade chocolate cheesecake for dessert :-) Can't wait!!
