Christmas Poll: Turkey or Ham

A_seattleA_seattle
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Our family always does Turkey, but I am doing Christmas atr our house this year and am considering doing ham (last time I did this the family got all up in arms and I ended up having to do ham and turkey to please everyone) - this year I am considering not telling them what is on the menu until they get here. Seems silly to have the same exact dinner one month apart, and DH doesn't even like turkey.

Curious what others do?

    Gotta have ham! I hate it when people do turkey at Christmas...turkey is a Thanksgiving food IMO!!!

    My vote is for a tasty ham!

    My family always does turkey. Probably because we're from Belgium and we don't do Thanksgiving over there... so it's always been tradition to do Turkey at Christmas. So we have it both at Thxgiving and Christmas now :) I had to say, I love Thanksgiving dinner so much that I'm thrilled to have it again a month later!! ;)

    DH's family does ham. So it depends on where we spend Christmas on what we have.

    Ham!  I hate turkey and it is bad enough having to have it every Thanksgiving.

    I say turkey.  Probably because growing up my grandpa was the cook and he always made prime rib for Thanksgiving...it was the best.  He then made Christmas.  I didn't have turkey for Thanksgiving until I was 23.

    We've done all sorts of things--filet mignon and stuffed shrimp, Italian, turkey--each year is different.  This year we're having a ham.

    We are doing a ham this year, my family usually does turkey since my dad isn't a huge ham fan but since we are hosting DH's family for Christmas and I'm not a great turkey cook, plus its can be so hard to get right, I'm doing the ham, since I can't really mess it up

    Well, my dad always gets a free turkey from work, and I always get to choose between a free turkey or a ham from my job.  So I always choose ham so we can have both.  We always have had a big get together with my side of the family at christmas so it works out having both.  I'd rather have the ham....turkey just gets to dry for me.

    We usually do a prime rib for Christmas Eve dinner.  Then Ham on Christmas day.  Usually we will have another prime rib for the New Years celebrations.

    We do turkey at Thanksgiving, ham at Easter and both at Christmas in my family.

    Matt's family does prime rib at Christmas, lamb at Easter.

    We're integrating. I provide the beef at my mother's on Christmas, and Mom cuts back to a turkey breast instead of the full-on bird. And he has this litany of must-haves for the day before Easter (23 kinds of Italian meat) so he doesn't care that much about the lamb.
