No brainer really, for a lot of people cooking a Christmas dinner is a stressful experience. If you can simplify it and reduce the stress and spend more time with your guests or family then the extra money it costs may well be worth it considering the amount of time and/or stress saved.

Christmas day, do you really want to be battoning carrots ?
