I wanted to start a discussion about how everyone will be handling getting dinner ready and attending church Christmas morning this year.

We plan to have turkey, as usual, and at least 12 pounds because Joey will be home. So I am planning to leave the turkey in the oven during church and do the sides when we get home. I cannot remember doing that before but I know it is safe if I turn the oven down a bit while we are gone. I mean, my mom used to roast turkeys overnight while we were asleep upstairs . . .

What are the rest of you doing? Having something different with a shorter cook time? Changing your dinner time? Other creative solutions?

I look forward to seeing tips here of how to make this year's celebration of His birth special!
