Okay, I may go out for christmas lunch, which is probably a braai (bbq) and I will bring chicken satay.
But, if it rains, I can't take the short cut and it becomes a very long drive, which may not even be possible, meaning I won't go and make chicken satay's for myself but for dinner, not lunch.
Lunch maybe liquid
 
Breakfast I've got nailed:
Toasted slices of baguette, slathered with cream cheese and dill. Smoked salmon on top of that. Two poached eggs. Deep-fried capers.
Since we're probably going to get back about 3am, I don't know what lunch might be. Or dinner, either!

Well I'm not sure on what order or for what meal it will get eaten, but breakfast is as normal, then ajo blanco is likely for lunch and there's a courgette, rosemary rice cake with tomato and basil sauce. I guess we'll add a few other bits of salad to that and fruit for dessert.

Second Christmas day in the Netherlands is December 26, we celebrate that instead of Christmas eve.
So for the second Christmas day the breakfast is the same but for dinner I will make Lasagne Bolognese and we'll have poached pears with custard as a dessert.

That sounds lovely - here, Christmas hits a hard stop after the 25th…it’s back to work and really rather depressing.
