This is our first year without the traditional turkey. With thanksgiving turkey still on my taste buds I decided we are having tacos! Homemade salsa and guac!
sushi for christmas eve (fish sticks for DS). I haven't decided on christmas day past breakfast, which will be bacon and eggs and raspberry almond coffee cake.
Mom's making a Ham, Mashed Potatoes, rolls & corn. I'm making broccoli casserole & deviled eggs...I'm sure other people are bringing food that's just what I know we'll be having for sure.
Steak, twice baked potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and corn. Cookies, candy and Marion berry pie for dessert. I think I am going to make cinnamon monkey bread for breakfast
BIL is making a turkey, and I'm getting all the sides from Whole Foods this year. I already pre-ordered them on their website. I just have to think of dessert.
My family goes all out. There will be 17 people at my first Christmas party and we are having: ham, lasagna, mac n cheese, rolls, veggies, stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, about 20 desserts, and more food that I'm not even sure of yet. Lol. Anyone want to join?

We have ham on Christmas eve just the two of us (it has always been the day we open our gifts to each other). Sometimes my mom comes for the dinner part too.
Christmas is across the street at my brothers...having roast beef and gravy and I can't wait. I'm making cupcakes and sugar cookies for dessert!
Day after Christmas is at mother in laws...she asked what we want so I get to choose!!! Yay!!! I'm thinking baked stuffed chicken.
Not to mention I picked up some reses peanut butter trees yesterday. And some peppermint bark. Food glorious food! And mashed potatoes three days in a row is pretty much my dream.
turkey thats cooked overnight with streaky bacon on it and pigs in blankets stuffed inside, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, yorkshire puddings, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, swede, butternut squash, stuffing, lots of gravy!
I wondered if Yorkshire Pudding was served with Christmas Turkey. I should have asked my dad yesterday (from Yorkshire) when I asked what english xmas dinner was traditionally. Yum, Yorkshire pudding.
Chilli for the Eve. Bacon and eggs for breakfast with ham and pulled pork through the day. Gotta get some veggies in some where as everyone else will be eating dips and such as sides. I am bringing my avacado oil chips for some special snacking.
I won't be cooking as we travel to our families on Christmas.
However, I am going to have to come up with something for Christmas Eve. DH works so it will be DD and I. I'll probably do some kind of takeout! Typically, we spend Christmas Eve with DH's family and have Italian food. It's not my favorite, but what they always do.
Christmas is at my aunt's and we usually have tons of food including Honeybaked Ham, turkey, potatoes, corn casserole, and tons of cookies and candy buckeyes! It's pretty awesome.
I wondered if Yorkshire Pudding was served with Christmas Turkey. I should have asked my dad yesterday (from Yorkshire) when I asked what english xmas dinner was traditionally. Yum, Yorkshire pudding.
As a Yorkshire gal, I can tell you that we most certainly do in our house, with the full roast and then trifle afterwards. In fact we have yorksires most sundays cause my Canadian in-laws love 'em!
I'm going to eat all of the things. For the health of my little poppet, obviously :P
I'm bringing a breakfast casserole to my brother's house, and I have no idea what else will be there- they're pretty disorganized. Last year they were just really getting food together early afternoon when we had to leave and head back into town to go to the IL's. I also have no clue what the IL's will be serving for dinner. They're supposed to be letting me know if I need to bring anything and I haven't heard yet. I'm just going to keep my head down and fly under the radar, since it will be interesting coordinating that and the three hour round trip to my brother's earlier in the day. The IL's live close to us, though, so it would be feasible to swing by home first to pick things up, but I don't think bringing anything that needs to be hot on arrival will work.
We always do Christmas Eve with my side of the fam, and it's BYOS (bring your own steaks) and a nice green salad, twice-baked loaded potatoes and yeast rolls. And sweet tea of course, this is the South after all. then chocolate cheese cake for dessert. *drooling* Is is Christmas Eve yet?
Oh yeah, and then we do Christmas Day with Dh's parents and she always just cooks up whatever (she is an amazing cook so everything she makes is like gourmet) and then we snack all day long.
Christmas morning I usually make cinnamon rolls. During the day I'll have a few munchies around, ususlly hot 3 cheese artichoke dip and some crudite w/ranch. Mulled apple cider will be in the crock pot.
Dinner will be prime rib, rolls, cheesy mashed potatoes, and green beans almondine. Only three of us this year so I'm keeping it simple.
Dessert will be cheesecake & cookies & the Doctor Who christmas special.

Yum!!! We will have a Lowcountry boil on Chrismas eve (think shrimp boil with sausage and potatoes) and crab legs. Christmas Day will be beef tenderloin with horseradish cream, roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted okra and Gorgonzola polenta- creme brûlée for dessert. Can't wait!

The thought of eating any sort of roast poultry totally grosses me out now (thanks Thanksgiving morning sickness) so I have bought a cottage ham to cook whenever DH and I decide to do our little family Christmas.
Roast beef, potatoes au gratin, popovers, and peas. People bring dessert so you never know what's going to happen but there is always a wide variety of deliciousness.

The key is getting the fat super hot to the point of smoking...and not opening the door until they puff up. Other than that they're pretty easy!
DH is making Beef Wellington for the family for x-Mas eve and then step sister is making roast beast (haha) for x-mas dinner.
Super excited...beef, beef beef!
