Xmas dinner .... Turkey?

Already having our yearly debate on what meat to have for Christmas dinner.
I suspect the old turkey will get the heave ho this year in favour of a pork or beef joint. May even splash out on both!
So long as there is Xmas pudding and custard I really don't care.
Would be interested in what other people have though ...
Goose? Swan? Hedgehog?

Usually have a joint for Christmas. Always thought that Turkey is highly over rated. Though have had a cockeral & must say that they are very tasty.
Melton Mowbray pork pie & Stilton for Christmas morning is a must

It all depends on what the local pub is offering at £10 for 2.

I guess that's a Christmas present sorted at the same time then?

It would seem from all the responses they don't do this over the pond.
