Don't do a special breakfast generally. Will be roast chicken for dinner I'd imagine then buffet later on.

I've now been persuaded that doing a curry for dinner is a good idea so that now instead of chicken. And maybe bacon sandwiches for breakfast.

 

[crodonilson]

Shocked at how many people appear to be having curry on Christmas Day.

Shocked at how many people appear to be having curry on Christmas Day.

Although it will take a bit of preparation and cooking it will require far less than a roast dinner so I can spend more time with the wife and kids (ie on the sofa drinking and watching TV ). I'll probably still do sprouts if it's any help

How spooky, thats almost exactly the same as us......we do sometimes substitute turkey for something like duck or goose, but always Gammon.
