Were I in charge of the Xmas meal it would be traditional. That said not necessarily turkey, which is a relatively recent tradition; there are other birds out there. I hear the goose is getting fat. But the reality is that no one is coming to my place for Xmas; too far to travel, so I visit others, and they always have the bad taste to get a crown so that all the tasty bits have already been stolen for selling off separately. As someone who likes to cook and never really gets the opportunity, it's rather strange really. Been years since I cooked an Xmas lunch. At this rate I may never have the opportunity again. For sure I'm not refusing to visit family during the season and bothering to cook for one instead.

Depends how many you serving for but previously bought whole (small) goose had butcher cut it in half, cooked half at Christmas and froze other half and had it for Easter but you may be lucky to find fresh butchers turkey at this late stage. Only problem is you need to cook it on a roasting rack to let fat drain and keep decanting fat from roasting tray

Or a 4 bird roast?

We've never had turkey for Christmas lunch. It's usually a decent cut of beef, a goose or a 3 bird roast. One year, my mum did trout.
We do have all the trimmings, but nowadays I get it as prepared as possible. I don't want to be chopping veg all morning.

Tilly I don't think it' anything to do with class. I was brought up middle class and I have carried on many of traditions that will be ( I am sure ) continued by my children.
