err we all chip in, my wife and i will bring over the starters, my sister will bring in the pudding. Mum will look after the rest.

We all help with the dishes afterwords.

In other words, poor mum will be doing 80% of the work.

commander

not at all, my Dad will actually be doing a lot of the work, as will I.

There is no 'I' in team my geriatric friend.

No "I" in 'team'?

True, but there's a "me" in there if you move the letters around.

sticking a bird in the oven isn't exactly time consuming veg takes about 20 minutes if that

I don't see what the fuss is. Just like cooking a Sunday roast really.

LH - If you want to give Shadya a break, why don't you cook Christmas lunch?

...or better still go out for the day and leave the poor girl alone

We tried that a few years back. Not very successful.

I live on my own..I enjoy the Champagne brunch..each to their own!

commander

exactly.

My point was that its hardly any different from any other Friday champagne brunch...

Have a great time.

Patsy Stoned

Oh I think it is nicer, lovely Christmas decorations, christmasy songs. A visit from Santa for the kids (MM's... not mine :-) ) and best of all pressies :-)

we're thinking either Desert Palm, which is fantastic or the one and only royal mirage, not keen on an actual brunch, just want a few drinks and a big turkey dinner.

Any other places anyone knows?

kittycat1

is this service basically meals on wheels - I remember going out one Christmas morning with my mum to take a chirstmas dinner to some old folk... it's just too similar and wrong!
