Christmas plans well dad and I and dad's friend will pick mum up about 11.30am from the home hopefully turkey will nearly be cooked (if I get my act into gear). Then I will get mum to help me with the veg have the meal about 1.00pm, do presents about 2.00pm and take her back to the home between 3.00 and 4.00pm.

What will you have for Christmas dinner we will have Roast Turkey, brussel sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and roast parsnips with Cranberry Sauce. Then Christmas pudding and cream or custard. Followed by mince pies.

Sounds like you and I are having the same Christmas dinner LOL. It's the English blood flowing through our veins!!

Even though our Christmas Day is in the middle of summer my Mum still cooks the traditional dinner - turkey and all the trimmings. Even when the weather is near 100 degrees outside! And she makes her homemade fruit mince pies (with the Robertsons Fruit Mince) as well as trifle (Yum!).

We can get Mr Kiplings Fruit Mince Pies here at this time of the year and they are yummy too.

A question for tomorrow. I'm sure you're asleep by now. What is Christmas pudding? Is it Plumduff with hard sauce? If so, my mother made it for Christmas, too. But she was from Yorkshire, so we were more apt to have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding rather than turkey.
