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.

We went all out for Thanksgiving so I think for Christmas we're gonna do something non traditional like tamales..

[Laird_M]

Xmas eve will be tosse (riceflour panchakes) goat curry, dahl and pol sambul (Coconut with chilli) then Xmas day we're having roast duck with all the trimmings, chocolate cake for the boys and a ful cheese board for me and Imi.

Nachos for Christmas is a long standing tradition in my wife's family. I make a separate version for myself, and inevitably most everyone else too, that's vegan with refried black beans, soy chorizo, and Daiya cheese. A huge bowl of fresh guacamole and fantastic pie - that someone else bakes, thankfully - rounds out the xmas dinner.

Oh, and quite possibly a wee dram or two for my father-in-law and I of course.

The solstice occurs at 11:11 12/21 here local time; we will celebrate by going out to dinner ("lunch," for any "Yankees" out there). After reading through the thread, I think I want to go to Downunder's for the big holiday meal! Its an awfully long trip though and besides, I wasn't invited, but we may just have to copy at least some of that for our own celebration. Oh yes, we'll have Chili Christmas Eve (a tradition). Thanks for the menu ideas. Bon appetit!

We start off Christmas eve with church then Irish coffee at my inlaws . Christmas morning is grapefruit washed down with baileys and coffee ( more baileys than coffee ) then off to the inlaws for lunch . Lunch is normally ham , scalloped potatoes , coleslaw , deviled eggs and carrot cake for desert . Best carrot cake i have ever had i must say . Then its off to my folks for the traditional turkey, mashed potato and stuffing dinner . By this point we are normally well stuffed and ready to nap .
