Do you have foods that are special to your family for Xmas? I grew up with a very English Christmas meal hot roast and plum pudding, custard which is not very particular if the weather has hit extreme temperatures. Now we adapt the meal depending on the weather. This year it looks like it might be mild so roast turkey and ham, gravy roast vegetables may very well be the menu. I never make Christmas cake or puddings as I am the only one who eats them.
However if it turns hot it will more likely be cooked meats with salads. Sometimes we will have an Asian meal things like char sui pork, san choy bau, asian salad etc. I tend not to get things like prawns as they become too pricey at Christmas time.
Now desserts tend to be trifles, ice cream cake, chocolate ripple cakes things that are simple and can be prepared before hand.
