Whether it's just you and a loved one, a gathering of friends who are staying put for the season or taking over for your mom, here's how to have a relaxed time hosting Christmas this year.
Either way, now that the date is creeping up and you suddenly feel the extra pressure that comes with the “Christmas Day” dinner, you’re starting to panic. How does your mother do it, what do you even need to buy, what’s a good wine how do you make stuffing, do you need to decorate on top of everything else? No matter how many people circle around the table, there’s undoubtedly a pressure that comes with Christmas dinner.
Like, all good events, the food is crucial. Don’t kid yourself that once you’ve gotten all the ingredients you’ll be able to wing it on the day – to quote Vivian Ward in, “big mistake, huge”. Carefully plan everything you want to cook; how long it’ll take and when the oven will be occupied. Then do like the Bake-Off-er’s do and create a tick list of timings that you can easily follow on the day.
