We are having roast beef & the cats are having roast chicken... so no fancy photos!
I will look in though to hear some of the funny incidents that happen.
One year my sister bought the cats some "Stinkies" ( a toy fish for cats that is stuffed with catnip). One of the cats couldn't wait for Santa, so climbed into her bag to get them!

I do them here all through the week....

Passing the Port!A nice tradition.
If I'm on my own, on the day, I'll be "passing the port" backwards & forwards, to myself.
This is how it might be done, with Ladies present:-
"When there are ladies dining and port wine is passed, the host or president should unstopper the decanter, serve the lady to the left, and without serving himself, OR the guest to the right, pass the decanter on to the gentleman on her left, who will then serve himself then the lady on his left, (keeping the left hand rule) before the decanter continues its clockwise rotation around the table. However, a more elegant method, which I much prefer, is after the Gentleman has received the Port from the host or president, the Gentleman would serve the Lady to his left BEFORE serving himself, and passing the Port on to the next Gentleman. This breaks the clockwise motion of the Port a little, but keeps the left hand rule, although I feel this is a more polite method as it incorporates ladies first. However, it should be remembered in both methods, ladies never touch or pass the Port."
It's not quite like passing water!

Cover yourself with melted chocolate and place sprigs of holly in strategic places.
Well it would certainly make you the centre of attraction! Fondu’s anybody?
