    I certainly look forward to the meal we will have at a local Indian restaurant for Christmas. We may have to shift that to Christmas Eve as the Indian restaurants are usually closed on Mondays. Not sure if they will open up this year to take advantage of people looking for a meal out.

    We only cook a turkey at Thanksgiving so that is always a treat. Other than that, I'm drawing a blank on something that I only have this time of year.

    Potato latkes for Hanukkah! (also known as "the fried-food holiday")

    For Thanksgiving I likeTraeger smoked turkey and I like a brussel sprouts roasted dish made with Bacon and pan roasted walnuts. On the rare occasion my wife makes it (any time during the year) I do like her Aunt Dotty's hot german potato salad. We don't do thanksgiving at a house every year but that's what I like.

    I am hoping that the WW recipe for Pork Tenderloin (obviously not for Kosher) with Pomegranate Sauce might be the best new thing I have tried in awhile. Made with Pomegranate molasses using pork coated with a pinch of salt, curry, black pepper and cooked in cast iron pan and finished in oven. Then scrape up brown stuff in a pinch of broth and add the pomegranate molasses etc. Sounds great to me and will last several days.

    Sweet potato casserole, squash pie, frosted Christmas cookies, my Grandma's chocolate chip cookies, my MIL's orange cranberry sauce (I thought I hated cranberry sauce until I ate this!)

    My wife and in-laws are Bulgarian, and Christmas is one of the holidays that we usually celebrate with traditional dishes from Bulgaria - my favorite is Sarmi (stuffed cabbage leaves).

    My Mom used to make baked apple rings and serve them with sausage patties and toasted English muffins on Christmas mornings. Partly for the flavors, partly for the nostalgia, these might be my fave holiday eats (unless we're counting all the homemade desserts...).

    It kind of depends on the "holiday". Thanksgiving is stuffing/dressing. Christmas is always spent with my son and I always look forward to our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of spaghetti with meat sauce. Those who were "oldies" on the WW GOAD board may remember how that came to be :)

    For Christmas lunch/dinner/whatever, we typically have a honey-baked ham, potato salad, green beans, deviled eggs, and yeast rolls. And all of those are my favorites...regardless of the time of year.

    We have a family tradition of "Christmas Pizza" on Christmas Eve, which started as something to get the kids involved (not actually intended to be a tradition) and has now passed to the kids' own households, whether my wife and I are present or not.

    You've sparked my curiosity, what's the story???
