How to Plan for Christmas Day Dinner Menu?


If you are throwing a Christmas party, no matter however small gathering it is going to be, you need to have a perfect plan for Christmas day dinner menu! And this is because you want to please your guests with mouthwatering food that they would remember till next Christmas. You are a very good cook but then you need to organize and plan for all- what Christmas dinner recipes are you going to make? What all ingredients and materials would you need for making these Christmas dishes? How much time would each of the recipe take to be prepared and so on. If your Christmas dinner menu is elaborate and if you think you can prepare it in a single day- you might be making a wrong prediction! You must, therefore spread out your work of preparing Christmas day dishes over a few days or weeks- depending upon your Christmas menu so that you are well prepared ahead of time and can enjoy the big day yourself too! Here are some tips and tricks on how to organize and plan for Christmas day dinner menu!

Decide the Recipes for Christmas Dinner!

First and the foremost work is to decide what recipes you are going to make for Christmas Dinner. Its better to do this planning well before time- about at least two weeks ahead of Christmas day! Follow these tips while you decide on the recipes for Christmas dinner!

Decide the Christmas dinner menu. For this, you can shortlist two to four menus depending upon your choice and preferences of your family and guests. Ideally your Christmas dinner menu should include meat, a carbohydrate dish, a starch dish, and a vegetarian dish- but there is no hard and fast rule for this.
Mix the traditional and old dishes for Christmas menu. This is important because you won't like t o test all new dishes and end up nobody liking even one. New recipes might fail due to several reasons like non compatibility with your or guests' taste buds, difficulty in following the exact recipe method while actually doing the things and so on. So, when you have some time tested dishes that you have made many a times earlier (and that are liked by all) along with new experimental dishes, you can always be confident that one or the other would definitely please your guests.
Know the ingredients and how to make the selected recipe. If you are trying something new for Christmas recipe that you haven't made earlier, its better to read the recipe the same time when you decide the menu. This way you will come to know the ingredients you would need as well as gage the convenience as per your capabilities regarding the preparation of the dishes. Moreover, you have ample time to collect the ingredients beforehand.
Collect ingredients for your decided recipes for Christmas day dinner. The written recipe you have in your hand might indicate ingredients for only 4-6 persons or even 2 persons whereas you might have, say 10 persons coming for Christmas party at your home. You should write down the changed proportions of the ingredients you need to buy for making your dishes.

Make Lists- The Christmas Menu Planner
Wherever, there is discussion for organizing and planning, making lists is the best and the most essential part of the process- including Christmas meals menu. So, prepare your Christmas menu planner for the big day to keep yourself hassle free and your guests pleased with your organized efforts!

All I Want For Christmas Is You- The Lyrics!

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I
really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you

And if you want to download this Christmas song, you can do this too
