| My Christmas menu for just my eldest Travis, his gf Sam and I. Looks like a lot of food but that's what Christmas is about "Family, friends and good food." My baby Dustin will still be in Kuwait or someplace far away and be missed a lot. But we will still pray for the safety of him and his comrades!
Turkey, stuffing
Sweet potato casserole Travis' request
Smashed taters
Fresh green beans (not casserole)
Store bought Pumpkin Pie (I can't make crust like Grandma so I don't bother)
Hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! and Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Merry Christmas to you and special prayers for your son!
I'm having Christmas at my house for 14 people.
I bought an 18 pound Prime Rib (yummy)
Loaded mashed potatoes
Carrots cooked in beef broth
Wild Rice
various salads, buns and pickle/veggie tray
For dessert I've been a baking fool and have 5 cocoa logs along with about 5 different kinds of Christmas cookies and I can't forget the fat ball. This is what I'll look like on Friday.

| Tonight's small family dinner is still up in the air. As is the dinner/gift exchange and game night with my "adopted" family.
Tomorrow is cheesy southwestern casserole, bacon and mimosa for our small family Christmas/stockings.
Big family dinner is:
Prime rib with garlic horsey sauce AND Kentucky Bourban Steak Sauce that I whipped up for my dad last night.
Glazed Ham that I still need to make sauce for...
Potatoes - we're not doing them so I bet they're lipton potatoes
PW's broccoli and cauliflower casserole
ummm... I'm not sure what else. I think I heard something about a waldolf salad? |

| First menu was prime rib with scalloped potatoes, green beans and almonds, fruit salad, brownies and creme brulee. But then 4 SIL's and MIL said they wouldn't eat red meat. My solution was to tell them to bring McD's. (Old, sad, long story 'cause one of them brought McD's to a T-day feast).
Second menu was filets and salmon on the grill. I nixed that because Christmas meal should not be common dishes, imo. This time my solution was to nix the whole thing.
But I do this for my hubb and his dad, no one else, so I regrouped and decided on, and got a go-ahead from all attending:
My shrimp/broccoli/mushroom linguini in a light garlic sauce, green salad, fruit salad, and the brownies and creme brulee. Plus I finally have some Christmas cookies left over. I'll do a couple appetizers and call it good. |

I would stick to the original menu but add some salmon for the nonredmeat eaters |
