Turkey and stuffing and veggies and salad. The thing that makes this Christmas dinner so special and perfect is having the whole family here at my dinner table! Merry Christmas!

Forget dinner - start in the morning! Scrambled eggs made with grated mature cheddar cheese stirred in on wholemeal toast, topped with Scottish smoked salmon, squeeze of lemon, washed down with a couple of glasses of Champagne. Forget the orange or cranberry juice - save that for a normal morning. Open presents. Chill - yourself and the rest of the wine - or even another bottle. Get red wine open to breathe............. Just to breathe! - no you can have a glass now !- stick to the fizzy stuff!
When a little bit peckish, cook large thick Aberdeen Angus matured fillet steak/s in butter and olive oil to taste and any trimmings such as mushrooms, onion rings, chips etc. but definitely no green stuff. Leave the brussels for any other day and salad - that's for health nuts that should really sleep on through Christmas day or run their normal marathon training route. That should take another 30 minutes and another glass of wine. Hic! Sorry about that. Pour some red wine in with the steak - not you! Hic! Pardon me - almost done.
Pan off stove - stir in some cream to the steak sauce - and serve with trimmings. And the red wine. Eat and enjoy! Then really relax. Doze a little - laugh at the 20 years old films and comedies - think about others - especially those struggling to get the perfect glaze on the turkey and worrying about stuffing and salmonella! Take time to reflect on the poor burnt roast potatoes and solid "roasted in olive oil" parsnips and carrots and the poor dogs that will be forced to eat them!
When you are feeling another little bit peckish - stuff the pudding - sorry about that - it's the red wine you know. I meant forget the pudding. But do find the Brandy, or Port or the rest of the red wine. Find crackers - biscuits I mean - not the bang type with the plastic bits fall on the floor and the dog eats them and you are left with a corny joke and a hat made out of tissue paper - and cheese or pate or both and put the cranberry sauce beside them on a large serving dish with butter and that large French stick you bought because you thought might come in useful. And the grapes and other fruit you thought were healthy. Sit down and nibble your way through the TV programmes, with the occasional sip of Brandy or Port or Red wine.
Leave the washing up to tomorrow or the dishwasher.
Have a very Merry Christmas - hic - sorry about that - fizzy wine you know and a Happy New Year! Very happy............ Drambuie over ice. Steak pie and masked potatoes and turnip ...................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................

Last year..my very good friend Andy Pimm spent many hours preparing a traditional Christmas luncheon with several additional and delicious extra's! The chief of which was two brilliantly roasted ducks!!!
We all had a wonderful time and were as stuffed as the turkey!

Well, every Christmas I make a honey glazed ham, creamy mashed potatoes, lots of maccaroni for the kids, yeast rolls, chicken egg soup (so good on a cold night!) and my famouse fruit punch slushies. Creamed corn is a must, along with cornbread and some type of salad. Chicken. Yummm
