Christmas dinner dilemma

OK, we were going to have four friends round for dinner on Christmas Day, big slap-up feed (we have a goose) the works. Really looking forward to it.
Now, for complicated unavailable personal reasons, they cannot come round as planned. Two can come on December 23rd, two can come on Boxing Day. To be honest, we're happy with this, takes a bit of pressure off, BUT!!!!! Who gets the goosey dinner with all the goodies ?? Dec 23rd friends, or Boxing Day friends ? They're all old pals, we don't 'prefer' one pair.
Somebody has to get the goose, it's sitting in the freezer and me and my OH are really looking forward to it. So who gets the 'Christmas dinner' and who gets something else (which'll also be really good as my OH is a great cook) ?

Seriously though I don't think it makes much difference, cook it Xmas eve and eat it hot and ready, cook it Xmas day and serve the boxing day lot goose leftovers with fresh veg. Either way it's win win for you.
Its up to you, but why let others dictate what you have to do.
I'd have it on Boxing Day, if I were you. The 23rd isn't as Christmassy somehow.
I agree, if it were me I'd have the goose boxing day and do something else on the 23rd (something so you can graze on leftovers the next day... mmmm... gammon sarnies..)
