Ok, as i'm due 3 days before xmas me, OH & my little bro aren't planning anything so i'm going to stock up on things for xmas day dinner just incase. My problem being i have no clue as to what to get - never done the xmas thing before, always had it done for me! Any ideas on my xmas dinner shopping list, i know this is really dumb but i can't get my brain into gear at all!!

Im cooking the same as I do for a roast, but replacing the roast with chicken/Turkey breast.
I dont like the thought of having to wash the turkey/chicken, so were buying loads of chicken or turkey breast
Because its only OH, Zack and me I dont have to cook much anyway.
Were having ........
Turkey/Chicken breast
Roast Potatoes
Yorkshire Puddings
Carrots
Broccoli
Peas
Gravy
Chopped up onions (roasted)
You wouldnt BELIEVE how much my mouth is watering now lol

if there is only 3, get one of those frozen turkey thingys you can get from icelands. Thats all i do for me and OH.
Oh and get all the veg etc prepared before hand so its all to reach.
Saying that, i tend to over cook the greens and under cook the potatos.
my aunt cooks it all, puts it in bowls with clingfilm over the top, and warms it back up if needed.

oh they are lovely! could eats loads of them just to my self! Smothered in really thick gravy though.
No, no give me brocolli any day of the week, smothered in butter and pepper, mmmmm
for me it wouldnt be christmas dinner without my mums chestnut stuffing. its really simple but tates fab so impresses without too much effort!
1 of those tube looking sausage meat things (looks like a giant sasuage)
1 packet sage & onion stuffing (make it up as opn box)
1 tin of pureed chestnuts (or fresh whole ones if you prefer then you can mash them)
mix it all together and cook in a hot oven for a hour or two - till the sausage meat is cooked (not pink anymore)
great thing is you can make it up way in advance and freeze the mix then cook the day before (i alwasy do my turkey and stuffing chrsitmas eve)
and heat up on the day. and its dead yummy cold for boxing day lunch too!
