Mussels and a bottle of Champers for brekkie. Cheese, and lot's of it, including, but not exhaustive: cheddar. brie, stilton, austrian smoked, edam, bavarian smoked. Eaten with Crackers, breadsticks, pickles, twiglets, cheeselets, pringles, cheese straws, sausage rolls, various dips and some pate.
Wines will be: another bottle of bubbles, Oyster Bay, Montana Sauvignon Blanc, probably a bottle of Pouilly-Fume and Chassagne-Montrachet. More drinks to include Buffalo Trail, and in my family it's traditional to get rather merry on Malibu, washed down with cider!
Thats my plan, but I will probably be asleep by 10am after the Champagne, and miss most of the day! THAT seems to be tradition for me :)

All the food and drinks suggested sound delicious, but I never do a Christmas lunch. Will be having a Lancashire hotpot with all the additions, like pickled red cabbage, siver skin onions and beetroot.Followed by rice pudding with sultanas.Then I shall hit the vino.
Enjoy everyone -- and happy times all round.

Good to see that everyone will be tucking in to some really nice food this Christmas. Not sure what we're having yet, but it won't be much. I lost my job this year, so the plan is to have loads of roasties with veg and scrounge a bit of meat from somewhere. Please don't feel sorry for us, there are more deserving cases, just be happy with what you've got.
