What do you have for Christmas Dinner

[Queen Jenn 0]

Just wondering which type of meat you have at Christmas. We eat ham (we're usually turkeyed out from Thanksgiving).

We have turkey because it's the only time my kids (from Canada) get to eat my stuffing, which is the ONLY stuffing they like in the whole world.

Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, so Canadians are ready for turkey again by December.

My hubby (the USC) would like to have prime rib roast one year, so maybe we'll fall away from tradition one year.

Our national meal is a fish soup (with male "sperms" and female eggs in it), fried carp (that´s a fish) and potato salad. That´s what I have had every single Xmas

Don´t know if I will wanna have it once in USA, cuz I have found a carp there and tried to make it and there they probly don´t breed it in good waters or I dunno but it was a bit smelly to me

(For the ones wondering...here we breed carps in good waters and it´s really delicious..yum yum yum)

I think this is true of most Canadians. I know of no one in Canada that didn't have turkey at Christmas. Again, our Thanksgiving is in October, so turkey at Christmas is not too soon. My husband (the USC) has prime rib at Christmas, so that's what we're going to do this year. My in-laws are coming for a few days during the new year for a another little Christmas celebration, and we're going to have a spiral ham.

We have ham and turkey at my house for Christmas dinner. I'm not sure what we'll be having if I'm still in Egypt at Christmas.

turkey..same as thanksgiving....new years is the big celebration in our home

We only do turkey for Thanksgiving, and MAYBE ham for Easter, but that's usually lamb. FOr Christmas my mum makes a fab standing rib roast with Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, veggies, etc. It's just weird that my mum started making Yorkshire pudding years ago....LONG before anyone knew I'd end up marrying a Yorkshireman.

And this Christmas, IN Yorkshire, my father-in-law will be cooking a Christmas goose....no Yorkshire pudding.

My mom always makes a standing rib roast with various sides. Christmas Eve is usually a bunch of appetizers and snacky type stuff.

Christmas Eve is Chinese food of the authentic Szechuan type. Christmas Day is usually whatever my aunt makes and puts out at her house. Usually a lot of appetizers and glazed ham (YUCK).

takeout Chinese food so no one has to cook. Usually the extended family gets together twice, Christmas Day and another day during the season so that other family members can be there. One of those days it's Chinese food and the other it's a buffet kind of thing with appetizers, crackers and cheese, deli meat, wine, that sort of thing... we go to my cousin's house and there are a lot of people crowded in a small house, it's really easier not to cook. Leaves more time for talking to each other.

We don't do dinner for Christmas. We do brunch with French toast, omelettes, cookies, croissants, cookies, bacon, cookies, sausage, and, oh yes, some Christmas cookies.
