Well.... Our family consists of Christians, Jews, and atheists. Thus, we tend to stay away from the more traditional religious overtones of the holiday season, opting instead for a more egalitarian celebration of family and community. This year, we're doing lasagne (with sausage for the Christians, vegetarian for the Jewish faction) and various sides, with a big emphasis on the dessert menu. If Hannukah and Christmas were closer together as they often are, then latkes and sufganiyot would have made the cut. However, since Hannukah coincided with Thanksgiving this year, Yiddish fare will not be featured in the late December meal. Pasta, salad, and sweet stuff in our home this year. We are all gaining a few lbs this winter solstice...

We had the standard turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. We'll probably replace it with ham for Christmas. Although we do have another turkey breast in the freezer... perhaps we'll have both.

Christmas morning, we're having brunch. My wife will make Scotch Eggs, sausage balls, biscuits, and probably some other stuff, and we'll drink Mimosas. In the evening, we'll have a ham, and lots of cheeses and crackers, Little Smokies, hot crab dip, Queso Blanco, spinach and asparagus dip, lots of veggies to go with the dips ,and we'll drink many wee drams of whisky.
