Question for Xmas foodies

Got quite a lot of cooking to do this Xmas and need advice on various things:

Got 4 friends coming for dinner on 22nd Dec -what can I cook that isn't Christmas dinner but is Christmassy?

Doing a Christmas ham for family guests on Christmas eve - what shall I serve with it?

Need to make a meal on Boxing day for 4 adults and 2 children. We are going out for Christmas dinner this year (turkey & trimmings etc), so won't have traditional leftovers. I was thinking of making roast duck with something (what?). Or is that too much after Xmas dinner the day before? What would you make?

Again, have friends over for dinner on 28th dec - what can I make? They aren't keen on spicy food, so no curry or anything like that.

Many thanks!

About to go home but dinner on 23rd (first day of all overnight guests) is:

venison casserole (chestnuts, dried apricots, dried cranberries etc); it's amazing.
Nigella's red cabbage in pomegranate juice
mashed potatoes

Nigella's chocolate chestnut pots

All very easy; all very delicious.
