What are you having for Christmas Dinner? Do you have it Christmas Day or Christmas Eve? Or do you cook at all?

For Christmas Day I am having:

salad
pickles
devilled eggs
shrimp ring with seafood sauce
homemade bread

Roast turkey (why I don't know, I don't even like turkey)
dressing
gravy
mashed potatoes
fresh veggies


pies - cherry and mincemeat or pumpkin
coffee and tea

I am determined to have something totally out of the ordinary for New Years, just not sure what it will be yet.

First we are having breakfast, the kids come over before going to Church. It will consist of ham, eggs, sausage, grits, maybe homefries too. Supper is easy, we dont fuss much for Christmas dinner. We have ham, potato salad, macaroni salad, cookies, cheese, beef stick and crackers , celery with cream cheese and olives, and plenty of homemade cookies, poppyseed roll and apricot roll. On Christmas, everyone eats whenever the mood strikes them...LOL. Happy holidays to you ALL!!:bg: :bg:

Well we have a mexican traditional meal.

We have Tameles.... So every one has a present to open.
Beans.... Refried or El chada (spelling)
and spanish rice

We start on christmas eve morning soaking and makeing the masa we also start the meat usally pork and a seperate order of beef.

Then we spread the leaves with masa and fill them with the beef or pork. fold them and then start large pots to steam cook them. With the left over masa and leaves we mix the masa with pineapple chunks and brown suger and raisans for dessert.

Then after eating at abut 8 at night we all open the presents from Grandma. and then off to bed.



In the morning it is a free for all and then breakfast of blueberry pancakes and bacon/sausage/ and ham steaks with biscits and gravy, also eggs scrabled and over med. There is also wheat and white tost with a variety of Jams.

We Usally have Christmas at Grandma's and breakfast at our house but this year we are doing it all at our house and have told the family if they want to join they are more then welcome to do so.

My hubby and I are the only ones that get the masa mix right so that it sticks but not to thick. His Grandma taught us. MIL and SIL can never get it right.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

Jan, grits are actually hominy, made from corn. They are the consistancy of Cream of wheat. We like them with butter and salt and pepper. My daughter likes them with brown sugar. It's just like a hot cereal.

This year we are going out on xmas day for our dinner. Three of us are having the traditional turkey etc. and one is having smoked salmon. My son is home from uni so I'm happy already!
On boxing day we are having baked ham, glazed with mustard, fresh orange juice and brown sugar. I did the ham last year, too - it was wonderful.

Debby you must be from the south. I've never heard of someone from the North knowing what Grits are. Oh Jan that's a southern breakfast dish. It's like cream of wheat like she said that you really have to season it with butter or other things to give it taste.

Cheese tray
Potato chips, fudge, peanuts, olives, pickles pickled baby onions
Soft drinks, beer, wine, name your poison vodka, whiskey, scotch, Jack Daniels.

Christmas Day dinner

Baked Turkey (Not roasted it's too dry roasted)
Corn Bread Dressing out the bird
Chicken and Dumplings
Brocolli with cheese sauce
Rice and gravy
Corn in cream sauce
Green Peas in butter sauce
Stuffed Militons

Cranberry sauce

Susie, we are all coming! I'm a little clearer on the grits but don't know what militons or homily is. This is a real education!
How can you eat so many puddings?
I'll stick to my cheese: mature chedder, stilton, camembert, St agur, roulle, cheshire and low fat soft cheese. Yummy with an apple and digestive biccies.
love and kisses, Jan

These menus all sound so yummy! My husband (from Philadelphia) agrees that "grit" is something you find on the bottom of your shoe and he had never heard of it with an 's' on the end. He won't touch them. My sister's husband eats grits with milk and sugar on them. (He's from New York City.) Oh well I don't eat them if I can help it so I can't say too much.

On to Christmas Dinner:

Turkey and White bread stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Broccoli and Swiss Cassarole
Corn pudding
Cranberry sauce
Green beans of some kind
Pumpkin pie, cake, and maybe a pecan pie

We were going to have my family over on Christmas Eve but just found out my dad is in the hospital. Not sure why yet. My 13 year old took the message last night when her Grandma called.

We were going to have:
Mini quiches
Spiral rolls
chips, dip
Petit fours, chocolate truffles, Chocolate pecans and almonds
Egg nog, soft drinks, milk, water

Magot....
hominy is corn....sorta like BIG puffy hard corn, not like popped corn, it's still in a corn shape. It's rather firm...grits is like cream of wheat (only nasty...my opinion) sorta like eating mushy, tasteless sand...thats why you put butter, salt, pepper and hot sauce in it, to give it some taste.
I think you in the UK have wheatena ???
Cream of wheat is usually eaten for breakfast...people eat grits anytime...:bg:

Thanks Chrys, I'm embarrassed to say I have never heard of wheatena but have consumed plenty of porridge in my time. Don't tend to eat it with salt a la Scot but with cream and brown sugar a la sassenach.

The corn (maize) grown in the UK is used for animal foodstuffs as the daylength is not long enough to ripen/sweeten that which is for human consumption. so all ours is imported, consequently we have a more wheat/ potato based agrarian society. ( didn't you just love all those long words) So what seems normal and natural to folks across the water seems exotic and wild to us, and vice versa no doubt only compared to your menus mine seems rather boring.
love and kisses, Jan

We're going to my parents' house for Christmas dinner this year. We always have turkey, mashed potatoes, fried parsnips, carrots, turnip, peas, coleslaw, cranberry sauce, pickles, dressing, beets, and gravy. For dessert we have plum pudding with sauce(it is so good). My mother always bakes about 4 or 5 different kinds of squares, cookies, ..... too.

We open our gifts on Christmas morning, I can't imagine opening them on Christmas eve. I think I would be so dissappointed on Christmas morning if I didn't have anything to open.

Reading about all this food is making me hungry! I can't wait for Christmas dinner! I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!:bg:

If all the girls/spouses and grkids and others are here we all get to open our stockings (yes, even the adults get stockings here) as soon as we get up. Then we normally have a huge breakfast buffet with everybody pitching in to cook. Then we settle down with our second cup of coffee or hot chocolate and start opening presents...one person at a time...takes all morning.

Then we start cooking:
- roast turkey with turkey gravy
- veggie turkey substitute with veggie gravy (for dtr and me)
- huge bowl of mashed potatoes
- candied yams
- corn niblets (frozen in the summer by yours truly)
- asparagus (also frozen by me)
- pickle dish with tomatoes, celery
- baby carrots
.....mmmh we all seem to be veggie lovers here

and for dessert we always have my famous (to my family) no-bake cherry cheesecake that is so heavenly good.

Alas, this year only one dtr can make it home but we could meet after Christmas so we opted to all meet in Hamilton on Jan 2 & 3 and have our Christmas get-together then. Seeing as the girls all had their turkey dinners at their inlaws, we opted to just order in pizza that day.

p.s. to the ladies in the south - I'm not only from the North but from Canada to boot and I love grits. I first tried them on a trip in the south and was hooked. I know buy them at Meijers in Michigan when we are there and eat them 2 or 3 times a week.

Merry Christmas all

They don't come in a jar here...they come in a can and if you get the 'plain' (not the whole berry kind) you can slice it !!!
I always loved opening the can and watching the canberry sauce slide out, then making sure all the slices were even....and then I arranged'em in a sort of flower design on a plate...
(although I DO like to make homemade cranberry sauce, providing I don't eat all the berries first....yeah I like'em raw too):bg:

Our family dinner won't be until 6PM Christms Day. DD and her fiance will be spending the morning in Gnadenhutten, Ohio with his family and dinner. After their dinner there the kids will leave for a 1'1/2 hr drive to our house for our family christmas together.
My menu plans are:

Ham with Pineapple glaze
Turkey
Stuffing
Sweet Potatos with Marshmallow topping
Brocolli with cheese
French Style Green Beans with Bacon ( my future son-in-law likes my beans)
Corn
Cranberry Sauce ( out of the can)
cottage cheese
homemade cookies, I BAKED THEM TOO!!!! ( i hate to cook)

DH, DS and I will have a late breakfast, most likely pancakes or waffles with eggs.

Will take it pretty easy for the next five days and try to enjoy the holidays.

Hey I like the short cut with the cranberrys coming out of a can. I like the rings the can leaves around the gel. Then I slice it and arrange it around the plate in a fan like fashion. By the time everyone tries to get a slice (it breaks apart) We have cranberry mush. LOL Mary at least you tried. LOL I've never seen fresh cranberries in the stores here so I could try and cook them. I guess we southern are lazy when it comes to cranberries. LOL

I got my presents early for Christmas and my Birthday. My hubby took me to Linens and Things and I had a shopping spree. Here's what I got. I got a pepper mill and a salt mill, a new blender, a new pressure cooker with two pots and 6.5 qt and a 4 quart pot, and a food slicer, the kind they slice meats and cheese in the market with. I also got several of the new type splaters that can be submurged in up to 450 degrees without melting, a new sifter mine was beginning to get hole in it, and I had to order the ice cream maker and the part for my stand mixer that makes home made sausage. I cleaned up don't you think. He can't surprise me because he knows nothing about cooking supplies and was afraid to get just anything. That's okay with me. Now I have to get to work cooking tomorrow that ham so I can slice it. He makes out like a winner on these items too He loves to eat. Especially the ice cream.

Sewhappie,

Well I would have had homemade ice cream for tomorrow but I had to order the ice cream machine. I love ice cream too. But my hips and stomach gets too Happy with it so I have to watch making too much. LOL

My husband is going to stop me from watching TV. Ever since I put a TV in my sewing room I never come out of there. The TV stays on 4 stations, Food TV, HGTV, HSN and QVC. I watch the food network and HGTV then I turn it to HSN and QVC to see if they are selling the toys those shows use for me to buy. I don't use drugs, I don't drink I don't gamble, I guess my addicition is cooking sewing and shopping. LOL What can I say I'm a domesticated engineer.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. I have to go start cooking and you probably won't see me again until late tomorrow evening. LOL Help is on the way!!!!! I called in the forces, all the grandkids are coming. Stay safe!!!

For lunch we are having:
Pea soup with ham in it
Pigs in a blanket

For dinner we are having:
turkey lasagna
green salad
chocolate pudding
christmas cake

Snacks
cheese ball and crackers
layered dip with tortilla chips
nuts

Next year I will be cooking up a storm as both our children will be home. I decided I would sew rather than cook this year.

I am a southerner born and bred... Washington, DC is as far north as I have ever been.. (not bragging, just a fact)But about Grits.. I grew up eating grits that my Grandfather took his corn to the mill and had it ground for grits for his extended family.. (we lived 165 miles away) I have never had sugar or milk on grits.. (that is for cream of wheat).. We eat butter or gravy on grits, and sometimes even stewed tomatoes... my favorite is red eye gravy of course, because I love real old fashioned country ham..But, the thought of sugar does not appeal to me... To each his own, I say... You do it your way, just don't insist I eat it that way, and I won't force you to eat it my way.. I do love to discuss the differences , though, how else do we learn about others..???
Happy Holidays to all.
Merry Christmas

:nah: ALL You Ladies Got Me Drulling all over!! LOL

:mad: I've been stuck at work since last week....Have no Idea What to do for this evening....since everything closes early today.:mad:

About Grits........I'm a Latin who LUV's Grits...That's Right
I GOTTA HAVE THEM!! with Breakfast....Mmm-Mmm-Mmmmm

I like it watery not dry.... Well cooked not hard...then I put a little of salt & pepper, a little of sugar and more butter than I should he,he,he :whacky:
It comes out like a tart tast not sweet and not sour "JUST PERFFECT"....My son luvs it when I melt CHEDAR CHEESE in it...
Uhhhhhhhh...It's delicious!
One thing about GRITS is that you gotta eat it as soon as you cook it cause it turns hard or it cures like a pudding or Bread pudding.

MAGOT If you PM Me your Address I'll be more than Happy to send you a box.
OKAY!!...Here's another Example..."Palenta" Have you heard of it? It's an Italian corn meal dish...well that's what it would look like except white not yellow.

Leapfrog you are absolutely right...not every one likes grits....and
every one has different ways of eating them....I guess It starts when we are small.

Like Libby said, to each his own about the grits that is....lol. My DH is southern born, and he is the one that introduced me to grits. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh PA and the first time I traveled anywhere near SOUTH was 2 years ago. I will admit that I loved it in Nashville, TN. Anyways, ham is cooked and I just tested the potato salad....:nervous: :nervous: Hey someone has to make sure its good and DH is sleeping....SHHHHHHHHHHHH. Have a super Christmas to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!!

LeapFrog Libby-I was glad to hear someone mention country ham. Up until Christmas I worked in a country ham store, cooking, slicing, packaging. I got a little tired of looking at it but I can't imagine Christmas without it. We have turkey and country ham on Christmas Eve. I eat turkey then but have the ham for breakfast Christmas morning.

So many great food ideas were mentioned. Sounds like gooood holiday eating. Do many of you repeat the big meals and family get togethers for New Years?
