Christmas Eve: We couldn't do our usual festive celebrations so ordered a meal in from our favourite local Chinese restaurant. Packed with vegetables, noodles, rice, spicy beef and lemon chicken this was a delicious way to start the holiday off.
Christmas Morning: My daughter made these iced cinnamon buns which we all enjoyed with fresh fruit. Starting our morning in a sweet relaxing way.
Opting to skip lunch and have an early dinner; our holiday meal was traditional and simple, oven roasted turkey with roasted vegetables (parsnips, carrots, potatoes and yams) steamed Brussels sprouts and homemade stuffing. All with lashings of gravy! Dessert was the Pepper Cake and or a selection of my baking.
Boxing Day: Not being able to spend Boxing Day how we usually do, I put on a more modest spread for us, homemade herb and garlic tomato soup, roasted vegetable galette, a selection of cheese and crackers, selection of sliced meats, pickles, olives, dried fruit, spiced nuts, corn chips, Glenfiddich mincemeat pies and a selection of my baking. This held us throughout the day and into the early evening.
... and as usual we did our Fortnum and Mason order. A lovely selection of mustards, honey and jams, chocolate covered oranges, peppermints, tea, coffee, biscuits, crackers, fizzy tea and mulled wine spices, to be enjoyed throughout the coming year.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday, as possible. Ours was restful and quiet.
