So it’s all very different this year.
Any Addicks around the globe still fortunate enough to have a non-Covid impacting day?
Closer to home, who is home alone, or managing to achieve normality through a bubble arrangement?
Who’s cooking and what you serving up?
Anybody saying f*** it, and completely avoiding the traditional dinner this year?

Going with roast salmon and all the trimmings that don't in way way go with roast salmon0

Got my mum round with us but obviously the other half's family can't come so harder for her. She's doing all the cooking this time, probably helps take her mind off it. Pretty traditional roast (plus yorkshires obviously) Will try to take a photo this time if I remember.

Home alone after my trip to the Isle of Wight was cancelled by Boris. As it's a Friday I'm going the traditional route and having scampi and chips later! Will eat turkey and sprouts with my Dad at Easter hopefully.1

Ballotine of Chicken, Herb Mash, Chestnuts, Red Wine Jus with Mushrooms
Going for something different1 -
Was going to just do a burger with my fiancee, but ended up buying everything, just the two of us.
Basically going to be a normal big roast, but with enough turkey for 8.0 -
Curry from Diwana in West Wickham, delivered yesterday evening as they are shut today.4

Keeping to all the rules here and have to say as we sat down for lunch (we being me, the wife and 2 kids) I really started feeling it. No family, no dad, thinking of my mum who we
lost 8 years ago. Father in law ill with cancer at home alone with the MIL.
Like so many of us, it felt all of a sudden a bit shit, and welled up a bit if I’m honest5 -
I am down my mum's with my family, first Christmas without my Dad. Delivered the presents and dropped off the turkey yesterday, seeing her house ready for our invasion without my Dad was hard. Crikey I miss the grumpy old sod.2

Got roast beef later but having it with Dauphinoise potatoes, sugarsnap peas and pigs in blankets instead, can't be arsed with all the furore around the whole Christmas dinner as it's just me and the wife this year, had Zoom calls with both sides of the family this morning which whilst it was nice to see them, isn't the same as enjoying a full day together for the festivities0

Making the best of things with calls to Hamburg Beijing Shannon and Maida Vale.
Hope things get better for everybody.

@da@DamoNorthStand felt exactly the same mate. Weird how the dinner, the bit when you’re normally all together, was the trigger.DamoNorthStand said:Keeping to all the rules here and have to say as we sat down for lunch (we being me, the wife and 2 kids) I really started feeling it.

8pm curfew here, lifted last night for one night only. If they deem this serious enough to control people on Christmas DAY, I personally cant see why it was okay to go where you wanted last night....1
