Well, we had a mostly vegan Christmas and didn't fall out with any relatives, or get interrogated about when we're going to buy a house/have children/get a proper job (answer: not for as long as possible/probably never/f**k knows, but I've got until I'm 70 to work it out so what's the hurry?, in that order).
Christmas eve we had a cottage pie with chestnuts as the main ingredient. Christmas day I was glad to find that FIL's family had got their carcass-eating over with the previous day so we had a vegan Christmas dinner - although a little disappointed when we walked in and FIL announced "we had our Christmas Dinner yesterday", as if it's not the big meal on Christmas day with all your family that counts, it's the one with the dead body as the centrepiece of the meal. But at least they didn't make us look at it, which was considerate of them. Boxing day we had pasta and lentil bolognese and warm baguettes and ate far too much of it. Day after at the MIL's was mushroom stroganoff and chocolate cake - both recipes from my website, so interesting to see how they turn out when someone other than me makes them.
