Festive Food part 1

Is it just me or do other people's Christmas activities revolve around Festive Food?? Shopping for it, preparing it, cooking it and then eating it! I do love it though and we all sit down together and plan our family festive food menu for 23rd to 29th December weeks in advance! This includes breakfasts, lunches, dinners and puddings. Snacks and sweets are just bought in for the 'as and when' moments.

Obviously the highlight is Christmas Dinner which is cooked by hubby but enjoyed by everyone Molly the vegetarian (whose veggie alternative to meat was sadly forgotten ) and Elliot (still in hih PJ's) both with the customary paperhats in situ! This year even the cat had a place at the table and a bowl of turkey! This was after he tried to help himself to it as I was carving (see below!)
