I'm in need of some inspiration. On christmas eve we go to my parents for the day. its when all my brothers and sister come over and we have a big christmas dinner. my mum cooks ham for sandwiches then turkey for dinner.
On boxing day we go to DH's parents house. Dh is 1 of 2 children, the other lives at home and they wait till boxing day to have a christmas day as they dont see the point of celebrating without any children (sil is 42). They cook turkey and beef.
As much as I love these christmas dinners I love having our own traditions too, I want a christmas day lunch but never quite know what to cook! Up until now I've gone with what I've grown up with turkey and ham using left overs for lunches the following days (pil only feed us 1 meal when we go despite us staying over so we have to take packed lunches)
Any ideas of a special meal I can cook for my children that will become a tradition but isnt the same as the day before or the same as the next day? I love that we get to see everyone but get so frustrated at the ridgedness of it all :(
