Our Christmas Dinner

Our Christmas this year was as usual, just the 5 of us, which makes for a very relaxing day. No fuss, it's just us!
Our Christmas dinner is like no other I've ever come across. I told the guy who did my hair last week, and wish I'd had a camera to picture his face!

We go out to eat on Christmas Eve, and on the way home get a Dominos Pizza, which the kids eat, reheated, on Christmas Day. They don't like turkey or ham, and some years ago we gave them their choice (it's their Christmas too!) and that's what they came up with.

This year, nobody felt like going out on 24th, so we just ate at home, and ordered the Dominos online. When it arrived, I put it in the car boot, where it would keep cool till the following day.

When we took our own turkey and ham out of the oven, hubby put the pizza, still in its box, in the oven to heat up for 10 minutes.

We all sat down to our beautifully laid table, all best crystal and china.All pictures from Google.

And daughter announces that there's a weird taste from the pizza. Son agrees, but he's willing to eat turkey and ham instead. Eldest thought hers tasted ok, but hers was in a different box (no cheese...vegan).


It was then we discovered that the little plastic pots of dip had melted in the oven! Yes.

She didn't feel like eating anything else that was on offer, so we just let her be and after dinner was finished, hubby drove around with her until they found a shop that had something she would like.
Crisps and Lucozade!
I think our Dominos tradition has come to an end!
