In our neighborhood we take turns to host Christmas Day "drinks" at around noon, it is Ireland after all. These can run on and we have had a few people forget to put the Turkey on, ending up with two families eating together and sharing meal with makeshift tables and chairs. It all adds to our history and creates great talking points years later. This has gone on for at least two decades. There has been several years the whole Turkey thing was a blur. 
The pandemic has cancelled this for the first time but we met for a beer and wine for half an hour in the cold street to say hello. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family or neighbours and I'm so glad I live where I do amongst neighbours I call friends.
Have a good day all!
