Do you just have the one on Christmas Day or do you have the same thing at your firms' do or when eating out and have turkey sandwiches for lunch?

Doesn't it spoil the anticipation of Christmas Day, if you do? Or can't you get enough of it!?

Normally have one on Christmas Day, a mini Christmas Dinner on Boxing day. The rest of the turkey goes in sandwiches or buffet. Then a curry and then a stock or soup.

Everything is used anyway.

Christmas dinner on Christmas day, and a night of snacking for new year, is all we do.

This might sound greedy but last year we had one on Christmas Eve, one on Christmas Day and one on Boxing Day. Mainly because there was so much food left over and meat variations in the freezer. It was all nice mind.

Usually none, I can't be bothered with it for myself, I normally have a chinese or a pizza instead as a treat for Christmas, and I wasn't eating meat for 14 years until recently. This year however, I've been invited to friends for Christmas dinner, so will be my first one in years.

Just the one on the day itself. I try and make it as special as I can with meticulous presentation and timing. It takes me all day but the champagne helps! Last year we pre-ordered a Kelly Bronze turkey crown and i'll never go back, it was magnificent!

Why has this been brought back? It's August Bank Holiday weekend!

Oh sod it, it's September in two days so we can all start looking forward to Christmas!

I usually end up having 3:
1. At my parents on Xmas Day
2. Leftovers from Christmas Day plus added veggies, bread sauce etc
3. New Year's Eve evening - if I'm at my sister's

The best thing about Christmas isn't seeing family/friends, it's the food!

Haven't had one in nearly 20 years.

Plan never to have one again.

Just one on Christmas Day. As I'm chief cook every year, that's enough for me!

Unfortunately, we never have poultry anymore as two in the family don't like it. Shame - I used to love a good turkey!
