well I've never had sproats or tuffing....... ;-)

how about glasses for a Christmas toast and a bottle of wine for the adults and soft drink for the little ones.

well I wouldn't come to your house if you didn't have bread sauce!

but thanks for the invite ;o)

Paper plates for the deserts/kids to eat from
Platic bowls for the jelly - less washing up!!!

Some good DVD's to keep the kids amused when the adults are still chatting
Party game for after - something that doesnt require too much movement

And a tip for you - with so many coming to eat perhaps you want to cut back on all the veggies or buy the already chopped carrots etc - saves loads of time for you

Also dont forget the cranberry sauce, bread sauce, chiristmas pudding (brandy sauce) and christmas cake

Have a lovely day

I thought it was cranberry sauce with turkey?

sara3

ewwww, cranberry sauce!

that wasn't on the list either.

A cheese board of selected cheeses and crackers would be nice for anyone who doesn't want pudding or mince pies.

And coffee and after dinner mints would be lovely.

if you have people for the wholeday, you'll have to be prepared for a light evening meal or snacks. definitely some "bung in the oven" stuff!
