Every year I cook my turkey overnight on Christmas Eve,and then awake to the delicious aroma wafting up the stairs.

It is always put on very low Gas Mark 1 and by the time I need it,the bones just slide out and it is lovely and juicy.
Yum

Christmas Eve afternoon,I bake sausage rolls and mince pies while listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols,enjoying at the same time either a glass of wine or sherry.
