So the minimum I manage is a themed tree, matching wreath on the front door, and matching presents. I love the way that a well-wrapped bunch of presents really hide the bottom of the tree, and tie the whole lot together.
As for our traditions, Christmas morning is Bucks Fizz and Smoked Salmon Scrambled Egg. Anything after that I haven't really got into a habit yet with as my relationship with Richard has involved coming back to my parents' house, or not, or being together, or not, so there's not been much consistency over time.
TBH I really LOATHE a turkey, I find the meat dry and boring - there's a reason we only eat it once a year - if it was more interesting and tasty we would eat it more than that!! Last year we had Ribeye Steaks as big as a doorstop with all the trimmings, and I woudln't hesitate to do that again.
As it turns out, this year we're at my parents house again, along with my younger brother and his girlfriend. There will be turkey and there will be booze. That's another staple of a Nail Goth Christmas, plenty alcohol and I'm always happy to try out the next big thing. This year I'm giving Marks & Spencer's Honeycomb Cream a try, a suggestion care of NailGoon Jo. Of course I'll let you know if it's any good.
So, let me know, what are your family traditions for Christmas and what is your non-turkey dinner of choice?
