Im having Christmas dinner at my house this year and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for sides? I get tired of the same ol? same ol?. I was think instead of applesauce make baked cinnamon apples, but thats about as far as Ive gotten with it. So just curious, what do yall plan on having??

    Baked Cinnamon Apples = YUMM!!! That sounds so good right now!! 

    I was gonna say Yams/Sweet Potato Casserole, but maybe that's considered "Same Ol'..."?

    I'm thinking of doing potato gratin with the ham, but that probably doesn't help you because it's not very original. I like the idea of baked cinnamon apples. Hmm, what else? I may serve beef too, because we're expecting about 20. I need more sides too, I'll check back to this later....

    When it comes to holidays, I think you need to stick with the ol' standbys.  Mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean or corn casserole, rolls.  All good stuff!

    My family is Italian so a Christmas ham was completely foreign to me up until 5 years ago when I started spending Christmas with my husband's family, too.

    They do ham, scalloped potatoes, pistachio salad, roasted asparagus, deviled eggs, and dinner rolls. 

    Seriously, it was the weirdest thing to me! We always have lasagna, stuffed shells, meatballs...I was under the impression that was normal. My jaw dropped when we didn't have lasagna...

    With ham, any sides that involve cheddar cheese, mustard, or fruit (not just apples) are going to be compatible. Not all in one dish, of course.

    Baked cinnamon apples sound AMAZING!! Cheesy potato casserole or roasted sweet and yukon potatoes are both delicious with ham....OH! Roasted potatoes and then steamed carrots, calliflower with a white cheese sauce so then you get your cheese fix with the ham too =)

     Crescent rolls are always my favorite with ham too. Good luck!!!

    Im form the caribbean, Trinidad to be exact; so for me the traditional christmas recipe is:

    Ham with chow chow

    Beef pastelles (that is a mixture of minced beef, tomato paste, olive, capers, carrots, raisens. seasoned to taste, folded in a cornmeal mixture)

    Butter parsley potatoes

    Christmas rice ( that is rice with a mixture of your favourite veggie, maybe corn, carrots, broccoli, parsley, raisens..etc)

    Stewed pigeon peas

    Roast chicken in a pineapple sauce

    YUMMY
