It's the 4th of Advent now, and only two days left before Christmas.
Yes, For me and a couple of more people here, it's two days.. For the rest of you it's three... ^^

Now what would Christmas be without all the wonderful food? Still amazing, but not as delicious..
In our home we have a few things that is a must to have on the Christmas Table. Without them, it wouldn't be the same!

But all around the world, we celebrate differently, and I'm curious to hear what is a must on your table during Christmas. So this thread is about all the delicious things that you will eat this year!

Here is the things that will always be found on our table on the 24th!
(Sorry, I don't know what they are called in English, so I had to use Google Translate..)

Since we have kids, we wait with the Christmas-beer and "Glögg" (mulled and spiced wine(?)) until they are sleeping!

So much yum in one post...

[CattyVixen]

Thank you! Your turn... ^^

What must be on your Christmas-table?

[Fuzzy]

Well nothings as interesting and extravagant as your choice of food (fast food/ takeaways are more the English specialty.) But anyway you asked so I answer:

For the main meal -
A large turkey with an assortment of vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, roast potatoes, broccoli and so on)
Absolutely no sprouts! Horrible things...

For dessert (now this is where my Christmas shines)-
A chocolate gatau
A Christmas cake
A brandy soaked Christmas pudding
A trifle
A chocolate Yule log

And to drink (this is a list of what I've got stocked up in my cupboard)-
36 cans of carlsberg
48 bottles of stella
5 bottles of captain morgans spiced rum
8 bottles of malibu
10 bottles of triple distilled vodka
1 bottle of red wine

It's gonna be a very merry Christmas!

[CattyVixen]

Oh! Turkey! ^^
But... I am the only one in this family that doesn't eat broccoli... I despite it!
And sprouts too.. That's disgusting... ^^

Now, I love your desserts!
That's how a dessert-table shall look like!

Your drink-list.. Hmm.. I can swear to the God Emperor that I never ever sold that much alcohol in a week to one person when I was a Bartender...
You don't need to fill up that for New Year, I see... ^^

[Fuzzy]

Haha, the alcohol isn't much for me as it is my friends. I'll get drunk sure but I'm still doing my best to cut down on it so I won't be getting wasted.

[CattyVixen]

Sounds good!

[Doomdrinker1]

Personally the only part of the food that matters to me is the large roast dinner anything else is optional and nice but not needed.

What have I missed? Why are you recovering? What is wrong?

[Ziet]

Medical problems still kicking me around. but that is for another time. I'm waiting to see what other post show up in this thread

[XSiKx SpEcTeRx98]

Ah,Christmas the "happiest" time of the year,not quite sure how it can be,having no choice but to spend it with the whole family.

But anyway food;the roast is the most important,pork,chicken,lamb,beef and turkey with all those "lovely" veggies like sprouts although things like broccoli and cauliflower I don't mind. Then there is dessert we have things like cakes or whatever one of those fancy cakes are, sometimes during those dreaded times with family we also have a mini buffet of the sorts you know those party packs with the pretzels and all that in.

[CattyVixen]

I've heard of those 'happiest times'... When every single cousins brothers sisters son shall be with you...
And it usually ends up with that someone is getting to drunk, or that sisters brothers wife's starting a fight with her man and...
I have never been in one like that... It feels like I have missed allot... ^^

I'm not celebrating Xmas this year because for me it's a time to spend with loved ones and mine are all over the globe right now; instead I am going to play games, eat BBQ food and drink tea (because the beer was sold out >> )

[CattyVixen]

Cru.. That's sounds terrible!

But aren't your parents still in NZ?
