    We celebrate mostly on Christmas Eve, and do it up pretty casual with finger foods, fresh baked breads, soup, deli meat and cheese, crudités, and fudge.

    On Christmas Day we go to my stepsister's house for a dinner with that part of the family. They usually have ham and/or turkey and a bunch of gross (IMO) side dishes. I usually bring a tasty veggie side and deviled eggs and that's what my husband and I eat.

    Whatever everyone else is bringing :indifferent: They've changed the date twice and the location 3 times. Now our big family get together is on Christmas Day. I have to work it this year, so I ain't making a frickin' thing to take.

    To the OP, Good...... Lord...... WHEN IS DINNER?!?!?!?!?!?! My wife's fam and I always go out to sushi after Christmas Eve service at church, we don't get to all be together much so after church one year we wanted to go eat. Most places are closed, except for one sushi place, so it became a tradition. The people there know us by name and always ask how we are doing, they notice if someone brings a new bf/gf/baby or if someone is missing. Pretty awesome time :) then Christmas dinner is usually either Thanksgiving 2.0 with ham, turkey and potatos etc. or brunch like waffles, bacon, egg scrambles and mimosas :)

    When it comes to Christmas dinner, my family has never made any one thing. A lot of times we'll go with turkey dinner with all the fixins like Thanksgiving but we've had lasanga, stir fry, chicken divan, pork loin, etc.

    I'm making the recipe linked below. Just asked Hubs about it last night and he didn't have any preference so I thought about things I only make occassionally (time consuming or high cal) and decided on this one. It is soooo yummy. Might use sirloin vs chuck to cut down a bit on fat/calories but that's about as light as it gets.

    I am debating whether I should choose a pop tart or some frozen waffles.

    I am on the hook for making dinner this year. We are starting with Chicken Liver pate and crostini. For the entrée I am cooking Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon recipe from the Art of French Cooking along with mashed potatoes and a gorgonzola, peach, salad. For dessert I am making S’Mores Pot De Crème. Should be pretty fantastic

    Lol, it was pretty awesome, I'm so glad everything turned out good! The roasted fingerling potatoes are a keeper recipe that I will be making on a regular basis from now on :drinker:
    It's so fun to see what a wonderful variety of food people eat at Christmas! Love the descriptions of different ethnic foods :smile:
