A leg of lamb with mint sauce ( mine)
Rolled pickled pork with apple sauce.
A turkey roast with stuffing
New potatoes ( from our garden)
Roast potatoes
Roast parsnip
Roast pumpkin
Roast kumara
Fresh peas ( our garden)
Home made gravy.

Everyone's normally full and a snooze is on the cards.

Lol, lucky you. My mum used to do lunch until we pusher her too far one year. We used to wind her up with smart comments until one year she snapped and she refused to do it again. Then I took over, then she used to wind me up, lol. I love Xmas day. Digging spuds out of the garden.

My daughter loves a red, we opened a cheap merlot, we enjoyed it, daughter bought a $50 bottle of red. I tried it and didn't like it. Then she tried it, it was off. Cheap wins! Lol.
