When I was a kid in London in the 80s we had Christmas Day at home. Presents under the tree in the morning, lots of chocolate, lots of phone calls to family, followed by Christmas dinner in the afternoon. Usually turkey or duck, once had pheasant. Boxing Day was a big family gathering with all the aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents at one of their houses. Everyone would bring food for the table.
These days we usually stay over at SWMBO’s parents. Christmas morning opening presents and over to her uncle’s for family Christmas dinner. Boxing Day, family come round, we all go for a walk while food cooks and it’s usually something like a home made terrine and roast beef.
This year is at home and we won’t see anyone because Tier 4. Little’un’s 3rd Christmas so it’s the first one he really recognises as a thing. We’re shielding again and the supermarket food delivery substituted off our Christmas dinner items, then a risky late night trip to the supermarket (which I shouldn’t do because of shielding) I came back with nothing as the shelves were empty. I managed to pick up a duck early yesterday morning when nobody was about though. Almost had a family Christmas dinner of sausages and single portion of frozen leftover beef stew!
