Cool. It's interesting to find out what traditions others have. We do our dinner on Christmas eve with a Honey Baked Ham, au gratin potatoes, veggies, hot wassail, rolls, and salad. On Christmas Day, we just snack on all the goodies we've gotten for Christmas.

Christmas at my mom and dad's house usually consist of a ham and cheese potatos. But the last few years she has not had that. Its been more of snacking over there. And for my husband we will probably just stay home and have whatever he would like to cook up. Nothing special for us, except that we are together finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. :lol:

Yum.

Well in years past it's usually been a Christmas ham. On Christmas day, late lunch. This year I'll be in Germany and it will be Schnitzel Holstein on Christmas Eve (according to P the "real Christmas"). I suppose we'll do Schnitzel Holstein on 12/24 and ham on 12/25 in future years to make everyone happy :)

And almost always homemade cinnamon rolls Christmas morning.

That sounds very tasty. The cinnamon rolls and the schnitzel. I haven't had any schnitzel since last winter. My fiancée likes preparing German dishes and especially since I'm of German heritage myself.
