My friend does this too so she can enjoy Christmas day without being in the kitchen, good idea I sayI don't do christmas dinner at all. We have a buffet - cheese board, meat platter, some of those litte party foods that you just heat up, crisps and dips, etc.
It's only for our own little family, and that's what we enjoy.
Sounds perfect to me!! What gravy do you use?I usually make most of it but I buy pre made red cabbage and cauliflower cheese as I think they just taste better like that and so easy to pop in the microwave when everything’s nearly done.
I prep/cut the veg and potatoes the day before and make up the stuffing balls the day before ready to just stick it all in the oven on Christmas.
I put a gammon joint in the slower cooker from early Christmas morning so it’s perfect by mid afternoon. I use ready made gravy then just drain the Juices in from the other meat I cook to add some more flavor!
I do foil trays too! Good idea with the wine glassesFoil trays for everything that has to go in the oven but put on a baking tray for stability. Saves washing up.
Buy cheap wine glasses. Write everyone’s name on one in gold pen. Only one glass per person all day and tell them to take them home as a memento.
Saves breaking your best glasses
I also do foil trays and buy cheap glasses from Wilkos and stick a pre made label on with their names (I have a cricut so make these myself)I do foil trays too! Good idea with the wine glasses
I was gonna say this too. Meat in the slow cooker.I usually make most of it but I buy pre made red cabbage and cauliflower cheese as I think they just taste better like that and so easy to pop in the microwave when everything’s nearly done.

That sound wonderful! It must so fun and easy to store afterwards.I don't do christmas dinner at all. We have a buffet - cheese board, meat platter, some of those litte party foods that you just heat up, crisps and dips, etc.
