Why not take the stress out of the big day and order a takeaway? Credit: Andrew Crowley If someone had told you this time last year they were going to be ordering a takeaway on Christmas Day, you could have been forgiven for raising an eyebrow. It would have sounded a little sad, the idea of getting a pepperoni pizza on December 25. Unless they were doing it in a fabulously cool “no children yet, no family allowed, we’re getting fish and chips, staying in bed all day and watching old movies” sort of way. This year, however, all bets are off and a takeaway is now an entirely legitimate option for Christmas dinner.
