    This year it's just going to be me, DH & DS so we are thinking of going out for Chrissy Dinner. That way I don't have to fuss over anything....with a week to go I don't think I'll want to cook a thing. We will do a fancy breakfast instead & open pressies & make a big deal about it for DS.

    Something easy, but still traditional, get a Turkey Breast Roast. I see them all the time in the frozen section where the chickens and stuff usually are (I think). They are made by Inghams and are absolutely DELICIOUS! Its nothing big, but its easy, and traditional all the same

    When we were at home with just the girls we had a BBQ and made sure we had special salads, drinks, desert & treats. All could be done before hand so all DH had to do on the day was cook the meat.
    Have done the turkey roll and it is easy. You can have it hot or cold.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, they all sound great!

    I think I'll get one of those turkey roasts from the supermarket and do some roast vegies, or if it's going to be hot make a couple of small salads. I'll make it dinner instead of lunch, will probably be easier to organise!

    For dessert I might get a couple of pre-made mini pavlovas and have them with some cream and strawberries and mango. I'm so excited about christmas this year, will be DD's first christmas and also our first christmas together, by ourselves, every other year we've had it with either of our parents so will be nice to have one at home! I just hope DF doesn't decide at the last minute to go to one of the parent's places instead...
