    Christmas Eve: salami, cheese, ravioli and sauce from our neighborhood Italian shops
    Christmas Morning: monkeybread while my kids open their presents
    Christmas Evening: dinner at husband's cousins. Menu is usually ham or brisket, a potato dish, a vegetable, lots of appetizers and desserts

    I'm hosting my family on the 27th. I'm still working on the menu. We might do soup and sandwiches, I would have my brother smoke a turkey breast, I would make Italian Beef, and then maybe a big crockpot of potato soup with again, lots of appetizers and desserts...

    I'm not sure about Christmas Eve--I'll be with my boyfriend's family.

    Christmas Day, however, is with my family. Throughout the day, we typically have snacky food out to munch on:
    Cheese/Sausage
    Fruit
    Nuts
    Cookies
    Veggies, Etc.

    Dinner will be amazing...I'm looking forward to it:
    Swedish Meatballs
    Lingonberries
    Mashed Potatoes
    Roasted Veggies

    Dessert includes Christmas cookies and pie. Yum! :smile:

    We go out for Japanese food on Christmas Eve. So I'll have calamari, edamame, tempura udon, and mochi ice cream for dessert. Then on Christmas day, I'll make lasagna and garlic bread, and probably green beans or broccoli. Cheesecake for dessert.

    We'll probably just have egg for breakfast Xmas day, then cheese on crackers for lunch, and dinner will be turkey or chicken with carrots, roast potatoes, stuffing, peas, sprouts, pigs in blankets (that's sausages wrapped in bacon for the non-English) and gravy, then maybe a mince pie with brandy butter.

    I'll probably have some prosecco too. That's my favourite part lol.

    Oh that sounds lovely.

    I'm visiting family this year so I'm not sure. Probably spiral ham, mashed potatoes (I hope anyway, there weren't any at Thanksgiving this year :noway:), stuffing, and homemade rolls. I'll be making cream cheese danish for Christmas morning, Biscoff truffles, toffee shortbread, sugar cookies, and some kind of cupcakes although I haven't decided what kind yet.

    I am not sure which family's tradition will win out. My husband's family likes us to make Lasagna (they were stationed in Italy when he was little and have the best ever recipe). My family is German and likes having sauerbraten and other various german sides. In the past we have done both but I refuse to do that again. Too much work and money spent on food. I want to simplify and enjoy the day as much as possible.

    Roast goose (haven't had one for years, and we'll be eating leftovers for weeks), roast potatoes, brussel sprouts, cranberry relish, braised red cabbage, DH's fabulous pork stuffing, carrots, baked sweet potato. Oh and a nice pinot noir most likely.

    We'll have a little break, then Christmas cake and tea/coffee and put DD to bed before port and cheese.

    We usually have Christmas pud (with coconut ice cream) on Boxing Day (26th) because otherwise you just feel sick.

    We've taken the bits of English tradition we like and changed them for the US..

    I plan on eating either a whole cake or one of the chocolate bars I get as a gift. I won't be able to cook anything due to "sharing" the kitchen with my ILs.

    carrot
    potato
    pastry
    cranberry sauce
    gravy
    and most importantly, wine!!

    but for New Year's Day I get my leg of lamb - it's the only day in the entire year that I crave lamb - can't wait!!!

    I love reading about everyone's holiday meals...somewhat similar but with everyone's individual spins. We're having turkey and stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, Jello, baked carrots, asparagus, salad, lemon and chocolate cakes, pie and probably other yumyums.

    It's just our immediate family (myself, hubby, and our two boys) this year unless we get together with friends. So...we will probably bake a turkey breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, maybe a salad. It will be a small dinner if I can talk my husband into that. If we get together with friends, then we will have filet mignon, homemade crab cakes, and steamed asparagus. Okay...now I'm hungry!

    Christmas Eve is definitely the worst. We're going to some friends who are having a 'breakfast for dinner' theme this year. Tons and tons of breakfast foods. Can't wait.
