Prawn cocktail every year, the best way to start the meal.

No.
We need to leave as much room as we can for the dinner...we normally go back for the pudding an hour or two later.

I have a BIG dinner too :D at 3pm, but no dessert after the dinner.

Around about 5pm I have Christmas pud though. :D:cheer2: With custard.:cheer2:

I usually eat light before the big dinner. A very light breakfast, orange juice, some fruit, and at midday a sandwich. :)

Do both! Luke could have Bacon and Avocado, if he won't eat that do pigs in blankets not really a starter but if that's what he wants

Yes they are, we often have soup as a starter on an average weekday, soup is nice, don't know why anyone is judging it.
