| What will you be serving? I know most families serve turkey but I'd like to hear about your non traditional meals. Our family makes tamales and host a huge mexican buffet.

Location: North Central South Dakota, west of the Might Mo | If we are with my family, it's homemade, from scratch Enchiladas and Tamales with Posole for Christmas Eve and Prime Rib for Christmas Day, complete with cheesy potatoes or twice baked potatoes, strawberry pretzel salad, corn or green beans, and homemade rolls and pies.
If we are with my husbands family, it is ham or prime rib for Christmas Eve complimented with a whole variety of sides, and desserts and left overs on Christmas day. His family always has lefse (a potato tortilla type of thing, that you put butter and sugar on and rollup) and often has lutefisk (lye soaked codfish, that is then boiled and dipped in butter). These are both traditional Scandanavian holiday foods.
My family has also had smoked brisket for Christmas Day and it was phenomenal. That is what we did with my husband's family for Thanksgiving this year.
I'm all about a mix of traditional and non traditional and NO TURKEY! :-)

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | man you all have some yumminess!!!! I will be feeding carrots to my horses and will probably stick a pizza in the oven.
Hubby has to work starting at I think 3 and is also having to do overtime so I may fix him a yummy Christmas breakfast and that will be it for the fancy food. No great dinner.
Don't worry-I am thinking of sneaking in some ride time when he leaves...don't tell him that... |
