What's on the menu for Christmas dinner at your house?

sounds great!

still planning here...

It's my turn, this year, and there will be four of us. We decided on roast beef, but will do a cross-rib, rather than a rib-roast. We'll make it a little oversized, and that will be much easier to divide into leftovers.

I've assigned salad, veggie side-dish and early "nibbles," so I can't be more specific. I'll do mashed potatoes -- mine are (usually) great, and they're a pain to have to transport to another person's house.

None of us is a big dessert eater. I'll have ice-cream/toppings. If anyone wants to bring something else, OK.

It looks like the Dungeness crab harvest will disappoint, again, this year. It's a big Christmas/Christmas-Eve tradition. The season started off as scheduled. However, the crabs have much less meat than usual, on them. The industry has been holding off from continuing the harvest, in hopes that some extra time will "fatten" them. People don't want to pay for scrawny crabs, so it isn't worth the time/effort for the fishermen.

Turkey broth

Roast Turkey
Ham
Baked potatoes
Boiled potatoes
Brussels sprouts
Carrots/swedes julienne
Sage and onion stuffing
Chestnut and sausage stuffing
Chipolatas wrapped in bacon
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Lashings of gravy

Sherry trifle

Biscuits and cheese

Petits fours

despite the fact that we are invited and going to two different dinners
one with ham and turkey,the other turkey and prime rib,both with a whole bunch of sides
the mrs insists on getting up early and doing a ham,candied sweet potatoes and greens
considering we'll bring a lot of stuff from the two dinners we'll end up with a fridge so overstuffed with food closing the door will be an issue
she'll probably make a bunch of platters the next couple days and hand them out to random homeless

Chinese food

Lasagna(I am making mi mama's), turkey, two different stuffings, as my brothers decided to challenge who will make the better one. Minestrone, Caesar salad, another vegetable. Cheese/crackers, more cheese as we are Wisconites. And I of course will provide the desserts(cookie variety, Buche de noel, bars, truffles). More cheese.

Carnivorous fools! Is it only humans that are "supposedly" subject to man's goodwill, just not the animals. Lets wantonly and violently have them killed and slaughtered, to appease our own gluttony and greed and all because we are pigs. Oh, that is an insult to pigs.

My parents are real traditionalists, so there'll be a lot of the standard stuff: turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetable dishes, stuffing, etc.

hope everyone has a merry christmas!
