Wouldn't touch turkey with a barge pole  .  Prefer them running in the yard.

We always have pheasant. 1 and a half days and it's eaten up.  Without resorting to curry.

Now bubble and squeak  - any left over

Have you got a turkey running in your yard? If not then it sounds as if you'd quite like one 

I prefer my pheasants walking around my garden. Can't say I'm a fan of their taste although I do get offered a few braces.

We got a Turkey crown, it was gone in 2 days.

We went to marks Xmas eve first turkey I picked up was £39 put in trolley and moved on then saw other turkey crowns at cheaper £28 so thought that's better only 2 of us so switched that one with the one in the trolley then moved on then spotted another option turkey breast with stuffing decent sized 6-8people for only £22 so yet again switched with the one in trolley.hubbys highly amused by this time. Finished my shop then headed to checkout chatting to people in queue all very good natured xmas banter then i said to hubby where's the turkey? Someone had only swiped it out the trolley 😂so mad rush to find another while he's loading shopping onto belt so we don't lose our place in the queue listening to all the laughing in the queue about my missing turkey lol.never mind it passed the time queuing and it was delicious on the day 😂DD😘

I would love turkeys in the garden but it's not large enough and we don't have grass.

We took ours down yesterday. It took hours. Not quite finished yet as they've still got to be put back in the attic. I hate it all looking so bare and in defiance I've put on my Christmas jumper

Got mine down and chucked in the attic in an hour. Roll on Spring! ☺

[littleminnie]

Ours went down yesterday, as did all the neighbours.  Just one lone person with theirs up.   Roll on the warmer weather and holidays

Agree about the turkey. Dry dry dry.
I should've baisted it with some

   I don't take any notice of 12th night.  It's over, that's what matters.

[jillydoll]

Isn't it bad luck to take em down before the 12th night?

Oh well, that's why we don't have any flipping luck, took ours down on the 2nd, (I think, can't remember, seems like they've been gone ages now)  😀

Didn't seem like Christmas this year, and a lot of people have said the same to me,
really quiet........😕🤔🤔

Ours took hours too! Also still not up in the loft yet!! Can't face that!

I've never had a Christmas jumper - but I've got an apron (neighbour made it as pressy one year!)

Christmas is officially over dropped DS back today, he's been home for Christmas for 3 weeks

I think it's unlucky to leave them up after 12th night but when is 12th night? Some different ideas and beliefs say 6th Jan, others earlier/later. Mr Poppi chops the tree then we suffer the sparky burning (🥴), I'm pleased to be back to a “normal” routine despite enjoying the holiday time.
Family returning home depresses me ba...humbug!!
Hope 2019 a lucky year for all.
