We do presents in the morning. A big Christmas lunch based around salmon, glazed ham and salads, followed by fruit salad and cream. It may sound simple but it is just right for that time of year here.
A typical menu would be;
Glass of bubbles
Sliced tomato with mozzarella and basil, sliced tomato with thinly sliced onion and olive oil
Smoked salmon with condiments
Glazed ham (apricot and mustard glaze) with potato salad, green salad and tomato salad, new potatoes in butter, peas/carrots
Fresh fruit salad, cream, ice-cream (in cones for the kids)
We don't do turkey or Christmas pudding or Christmas cake. We do sometimes have mince pies or brandy snaps filled with cream.
What are your traditions?
:) I grew up doing a big party on Christmas Eve followed by church at midnight... gifts on Christmas morning. But I married a Pastor's son, which means 4 church services on Christmas Eve... the kids and I only go to 1 (as long as no one is in a play or singing with the worship band) I make an early dinner of hearty Potato Cheese soup and Christmas morning is just the 4 of us... quiet. Following you now. :)
