    Well the way I see it if I tell myself I CAN'T have something I am going to want more of it sooooo. I am going to have at least a bite of everything! Not too much and just enough to say I had it.

    Japanese buffet. LOL I'm serious my husband and I have no friends/family here but we found an awesome japanese buffet/sushi bar/mongolian grill and they have a surprising array of grilled/steamed veggies, brown rice, noodles, and fresh meats and seaoods. It should be a nice night out without totally blowing our eating (as long as we avoid the fried foods).

    Since it's at our house - ham, super-awesome hawaiian sweet rolls and the wife has some brussell sprout and broccoli casserole she was in Good Housekeeping or some other magazine like that. Rumor has it that my in-laws are bringing over a standing rib roast on top of it all.

    If we were going to my parents' or one of my siblings' houses, we'd be deep frying a turkey and having all the traditional turkey accoutrement with it (sausage stuffing, sweet potato casserole, etc.)

    Either way, much like Thanksgiving, Christmas day is not a day for calorie counting :smile:

    Tamales on Christmas Eve, but we're planning on making this little gem on Christmas Day: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/360696-if-you-re-a-fan-of-crockpot-cheeseburgers

    Still debating whether we'll add the pepperoni this time or not, and whether we'll use macaroni or tater tots.

    :love:

    I'm sure it will be a big bowl of "Mom visiting too long with that damn yappy little dog", a huge plate of "Entertaining said relative that talks wayyyy too much", a side of "why is our son ALWAYS late to breakfast/dinner/whatever & why are his eyes so red?" followed with a dash of humility because you realized that you may have had a bit too much eggnog.

    I actually am looking forward to it.

    ahhh I love Christmas dinner!

    I always have some sort of breaded cheese with cranberry sauce to start, omg it is so good. My mum and Dad have fish but I'm not really a fishy fish person ( I like tuna and salmon) so I stick with the cheese :). After that turkey, roasties, and my mum's roasties are the BESTTTTTTTTTT, asparagus, crackling, gammon for mum and dad but blergh not me, broccoli, carrots, green beans, yorkshire puddings of course and gravy and bread sauce - mmmm love bread sauce.

    My mum and Dad will have something like tiramisu, I'll have cheesecake or something and mum and dad will have xmas pud later but euch not me. Then cheese and biscuits way later with a film :) oh and throughout the day we'll have champagne and snowballs (advocaat and lemonade) I frikkin LOVE snowballs - so fattening though :(

    Haha sorry for the rant I'm pratically salivating now I can't wait, love Christmas :)

    I'll be home alone for Christmas (all my family is in Texas and my hubby's deployed) so ummm...vodka sounds good to me. Just kidding though, I'm going to make my own self a little Christmas dinner with salmon, spinach tomato salad, fruit salad, and a cake bite..they're like the homemade version of Starbucks cake pops...my mom was making them years before Starbucks xD

    Christmas morning breakfast will be a large glass or two of Bucks Fizz, croissants, fruit salad platter and yoghurts - sausages and bacon for the meat eaters. Then this year we decided to have Christmas lunch out as I didn't want leftovers lying around the house for days on end!

    In Dubai they have a terrible thing for healthy folk called Friday Brunch, all the hotels do a 4 hour all you can eat and drink marathon buffet each and every Friday, and some evenings and of course special occasions! They do it soo, soo well! So, we're going to a restaurant that serves a buffet with 7 live cooking stations plus a traditional christmas food one. My Christmas lunch will probably consist of salads, I'll definitely have some bread and suffer the consequences later, and some Italian food, followed by several small deserts and copious amounts of fizzy stuff!! We're having lunch with my inlaws (lovely people), friends (lovely people) and my friend's mother in law (nightmare!!) so we will all doubtless have too much fizzy stuff!
    My husband bought a tonne of biscuits and goodies from Marks and Spencer so no doubt after lunch we will come home get into our lounging clothes, pop a few christmas films on and start making our way through some of that. I'll try to be as good as I can but, I'll have a day where I'm not stressing too much about what I eat....I'll probably log it just to know what I've had, but it may take me half the evening..............................

    So excited already.....only 5 more days!!!!!
