Gammon, Cold Cuts, Smoked Chicken, Potato Salad and a ton of side dishes (typical Boertjie fare).
Plus we hang out at my Brother-in-Law's farm.

This year - Brother-in-Law is getting a couple of platters and I'm making a Milk Tart. Taking it easy and spending Xmas in the pool with booze.
2021's been rough with too many passings and plain k@k luck...

Making a wet one this year!

This year it's our turn to host the family and will be doing a mini potjie affair.

 
Ok Xmas lunch is booked
Having lunch on a friends campsite at the dam not far from my spot, about 300 meters
Gammon, Chicken, Roast Potatoes on the weber
His new girlfriend will be doing other colourful veggies as well

Gonna be a good feast
 
If you haven't been curing your gammon for Xmas since Aug, can you really call it Xmas anymore?

Personally my one daughter is Xmas -deranged- so whole family gets together for the Xmas weekend & its a whole do, like you wouldn't believe. We've gone cold meats & salads like we don't get snow in Dec for roast & Yorkshire pudding (altho, I keep making them anyway since everyone asks for them). As the dad I'm responsible for the meat so I just whack a gammon in the slow cooker 2 days before & everyone goes gaga over the depth of my prowess in the kitchen, lol.

For everyone else, Woolies has a 25% off rewards special on 2 x festive meats today only so, pitter patter mfs..
 
So its close to this time of the year again.

My plan for Xmas lunch is to do a Turducken.

It will be my first time trying it and I wanna do it on the spit
 
Mutton curry, prawn curry, roast chicken with stuffing, roast leg of lamb and gravy. Various salads and sides.

Ice cream, cake, fruit salad maybe.

Booze. Loosening of belts.

The usual.
The usual, as usual. Although I might do a lamb shoulder instead of leg.

Braai.

Family gets smaller every year so pointless doing a large spread cos nobody eats much anyways
 
I don't even know where I'll be on Christmas day, but if I'm home alone, I'll probably just buy something from Spar's deli. No way I'm putting in a lot of effort cooking for myself.
 
A traditional English Christmas this year, similar to SA but also not the same.
 
Usually have a large meal for us 4, every other year we combine both families and everyone brings food. This year we won't be home though, will be at a guesthouse so will just have a braai probably.
