    We have the seafood feast. mmmmmmm can't wait! We have roasts with all the trimmings often throughout the year, so i really look forward to the seafood. We get Crayfish from King Island and order lots of other seafood from local fish monger.

    We do always have a ham though! Poached eggs, mustard and ham for breaky, that's our family tradition.

    We have both! Freshly cooked marron and prawns, along with roast lamb and pork and all the trimmings, that way everyone can eat what they like!

    We usually do cold seafood but this year I really want to do a roast so we have decided to do that and have prawns too.

    We have a cold Christmans lunch, but rarely do we have seafood. Sometime DH does like to get prawns if he can. We have a good ham, smoked turkey breast, salads and trifle. The only thing hot is the Christmas pudding.

    My mum used to do the roast turkey with all the trimmings. I find it easier to not really have to cook on the day. We can prepare a lot the day before, but really there is not much to do. DH makes the trifle, so I do not have to worry about that. I wouldn't mind adding a pav to the day.

    We do both. Seafood for starters and then BBQ roast meats and all the trimmings! DH is a sucker for turkey so he'd die if we didn't have it!

    Seafood here. I looove seafood and luckily so do my family. I am going to be at mum and Dad's for Christmas this year so they will lay on a huge spread. Whole baked barrimundi (sp) prawns, crabs yummo. We usually also have a ham and heaps of salads and my favourite stone fruit.

    Everyone is usually too full for sweets but mum makes a mean fruit cake with brandy custard or another fav is pavlova.

    I'm drooling just thinking about it.

    Oh and another must is lots of bubbly.....

    We have always done the traditional roast pork, turkey, chicken with all the trimmings but do have prawn ****tails for entree and usually a bit of seafood brought out for dinner!
