    Prawn Cocktail (Little Controllers request)
    Turkey, stuffing, bacon wrapped chipolatas, roasties, parsnips and sprouts (My favourite bit)
    Chocolate Gateux (Mrs C's request)

    with so much alcohol it would make the 'thou shalt not' brigade apoplectic if they found out :D:D

    Pate and toast for starters
    Beef Wellington, roast and mashed potato, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and sprouts (bleugh!) and Pigs in Blankets
    Lemon Meringue or Xmas pud.

    Am going round to parents for it, although I think I'm cooking. Only downside is that my Dad didn't take his glasses with him when he went for a bottle of wine to go with dinner. He's got low alcohol wine and not the full bodied red he was expecting! Oops! :D

    (good job one of his presents is a bottle of plonk cos he's bit miffed tonight)

    Some very delicious puff pastry/smoked salmon/olive tapenade starter

    Turkey with sausages, parsnips, potatoes,sprouts and stuffing.

    My home made Christmas pud from last year (they taste better after a year) set on fire with brandy then served with brandy sauce.

    Looking forward to having this year's pudding in 2011. We use a different beer each time.
