roast pork - cooked the night before - gravy
roast beef - cooked on bbq rotisserie - seperate gravy
roast lamb - cooked in the oven or on rotisserie - depending on whether it's rolled or not - seperate gravy (or may combine with the beef
ham
bbq chicken (only cos my dad has had surgery and can't eat the other meats) - bought the night before (or that morning - we have a shop that opens Christmas morning)
might have prawns with garlic sauce - depends on whether bro and DH decide on it a day or two before hand

basic salad - prepared the night before

roast potatos - if we're being slack, we'll buy a bag or two from the supermarket (frozen) and chuck them in the bbq under the meat while it's cooking
vegie bake - a bit of everything (cauli, broc, carrot, onion, swede, turnip, whatever else we have at the time) fried gently in garlic butter, then covered in white sauce. last year this was made three weeks in advance, frozen, taken out christmas eve and cooked christmas day
pea and corn

general snacky food

if someone has a particular request, we try to accommodate, but we all have similar taste and tend to enjoy it like this. very little preparation on the day. we all chip in to help in the time leading up to Christmas...

prawns, morten bay bugs , and crabs cold chook and salad ( yummo drooling now ) we are spending xmas at the gold coast

[Salsa]

OMG BG! Can we come to yours for xmas?
Shazz - I LOVE seafood!
I also love salads, I think we will (its just me, DH and DS) get a nice ham again like we had last year and have some yummy salads to go with it. We did that with chicken last year for 13 of us. Cold meat can be prepped early and so can salads. So you dont spend day in kitchen. And on the day we made a selection of fresh deserts (home made ice cream, pav, fresh fruit salad etc. Good to a have a selection of sliced nice breads too, easy to put out and men always seem to want to eat bread...even if there is enough other food

Salsa - our Christmas lunch really isn't that elaborate - it's simple food, cooked simply. most things are barbequed so no biggy there! the only thing that takes some time is the white sauce (for veg) and the gravy (which is apparently my job cos i make it well!)

everything else, everyone chips in. my bro and DH chip in (dad is lazy) plus me, mum and sil - it's not a difficult meal...
