and I am SO excited! Hubby and bubbah are at the in-laws as I type this (Sunday afternoon, I already know the next few days are going to be absolutely manic)
So who's looking forward to the big day? What's your favourite bit? Personally I'm looking forward to the various roasts (two turkeys and one beef ones have been planned so far), opening presents with Bubbah (that wrapping paper will be so much fun for him to rip open) and Christmas t.v.! I've already set The Snowman and the Snowdog, Doctor Who, Call the Midwife, and about a million Christmas films to record on our Sky planner and cannot wait to watch them all.
Last week's meal plan went pretty well as practically all of our meals came from our freezer stock (handily clearing room for Christmas food) except Saturday night's which was a quick buy of sausages and curly fries after we had a date at Frankie and Bennys before realising we had pasta planned for tea (oops) and had to hastily come up with something else.
This week is very much a loose plan. Hubby isn't fasting because of all of the food he'll be surrounded by and lack of work to distract him. The only concrete things are Christmas day, Boxing day and Friday. But here's what we're thinking of having...
- party food picnic (mini loaded potato skins, chicken nuggets, sausage rolls, mozerella sticks, cream cheese bites, chicken satay sticks and chicken goujons)
- Christmas day roast (hurray) which will be had at the in-laws
- Hoping to see my dad Boxing day afternoon so possibly tea there
- Pizza (a Friday tradition that hubby asked to keep)
- Pasta bake - sausage and cheese for both of us
- freezer meal (as we still have a few left)
And that's our week! Hope everyone has a great Christmas.
Have a very Merry Christmas
