On Christmas Eve it's too my mother-in-law's place where a smorgasbord of dishes tend to be served including various Chinese and Caribean fare, along with shrimp (the shrimp are for me!)
On Christmas Day it is usually at my aunt's place where we get a traditional English roast dinner with turkey, veggies, potatoes, cranberry, stuffing, etc - with various custards, puddings and pies for desert.
However, this year we are at my brother's place and I despair over what horrible dishes are likely to be on offer. I mean, I'm into fitness and eating properly - but not at big occasions like Christmas, etc. Alas, his wife thinks we should be eating protein bars 365 days a year - whatever is served, it's not going to be well received.
