Yep, would be very happy with just a big dinner with good company. Do not need anything else.

Id like to add a nice glass of wine to this too....
I see your glass and raise you a bottle.

I will see your bottle of wine and raise you a bottle of port with the cheese board and maybe a desert wine or a glass of plum Sake with the Pudding.
Ooof dessert wine is a good call. Hopefully I get a chance to nip to the specialist wine shop in town after work on Friday.

I love sprouts and so do all of my family.
I learnt from a cook/scientist many years ago is that what give them the bitter taste so many hate is when they are overcooked. It changes the chemical make up in them when cooked for too long.
Keep them slightly crisp and slightly crunchy and they will not taste bitter.

I roast them with bacon and maple syrup and then add a bit of Parmesan before serving. Perfect

I just eat them as they come out of the pan of water (occasional I would add butter).
Never felt the need to hide the taste.
I am like that with most green veg.

Indeed, I hate the way its been taken over by commercialism and stretched out so it starts in October, it just dilutes everything to a washed out version of what Christmas should be. A time for friends and family.And on the point of the thread.
Most of the responses to the opener, as they highlight perfectly that many seem, more likely choose, to completely miss or ignore the real point of Christmas and as a result end up focussing on the negative stuff that can make it stressful with little on the positive side of the ledger that can make Christmas Day a joyous and lovely day, a day that we can take hope from as we look forward together, or even by ourselves, with and for our family and friends.
And so wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I flipflop between being a Christian Agnostic and a Christian Atheist. but that doesn't stop me very much enjoying this time of the year.

Bah, Christmas is just Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but with decorations
That sounds delicious. I like to quickly blanch them, dry them, and then very quickly fry them in the oil released by chorizo. Serve with the chorizo pieces. Superb. Got some hot honey this year which I may serve with them.

Let me just say that, as a warning to the forum, Googling "Hot Honey" may give unexpected results.

Coming up with decent ideas for gifts when you're now too late to get it delivered in time.

Going shopping for everyone else's Christmas presents and coming home with a Stealth 2 driver. Oops.

Is it too late already. I had some sites down as having tomorrow as the last day to order for pre Xmas delivery.

Depends what it is. I was thinking to get some personalised golf balls for my dad, but the price they wanted adding to get it delivered in time was almost doubling the overall cost.

Might I suggest as a workaround ...

Having to take a whole week off work because the office closes. The weather is usually cold/wet/snowing and I end up being stuck in doors.
