Is Spaghetti a somewhat traditional Christams Meal

[low-key]

I say yes, as long as you have other stuff. I now lots of people who have Spaghetti for a Christmas meal, but when I mention it to some people they look at me like I have 3 eyes (the red sauce is Christmas Color)

I would not say it's traditional at all. That said, we often have lasagna for Christmas Eve. I would think having what your family enjoys is the most important thing!

For us, spaghetti is something we have often so we wouldn't have it on Christmas.

Never heard of spaghetti for Christmas, but I know a lot of people who do lasagna Christmas Eve. I know some families that have tamales for Christmas.

My MIL certainly thinks so. She makes it every Christmas Eve. I think it's weird, but I love her spaghetti, so I don't complain.

Not spaghetti but we had a tradition of chili on Christmas Eve at my grandmas house.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Not in my part of the world.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Not spaghetti we have that frequently. I make lasagna for Christmas or Christmas Eve.

I've never heard of spaghetti at Christmas. But if that's what you want, go for it. We are another family that does lasagna for Christmas Eve.

 

[Saimaeve]

I've never heard of that. But if it's what you want to do, more power to you.

 

[Melissakay1q]

Not in Texas. Lots of people fix tamales.

For years we had whatever was being served at one of the restaurants at Epcot. Now...whatever I feel like preparing. Spaghetti is a possibility.

 

[LJSquishy]

Not traditional to me. I didn't know people had tamales either. We do ham every Christmas or occasionally prime rib.

I made a deluxe pasta dinner for Christmas last year and I'm planning to do it again this year. I get several kinds of fresh pasta, including ravioli and tortellini. There will be three different sauces and probably shrimp, meatballs and chicken. Everyone can choose their own pasta, sauce and meat or try them all. We also do a really nice salad and breadsticks. The leftovers are awesome!

I have never heard it to be traditional.. But you can it for any meal.

 

[Disneylover99]

Well it's traditionally easy to make, so it seems like a good idea to me.

 

[Meriweather]

no, not traditional, but I say go for whatever you want.
We often mix it up for Christmas.
Mexican is always a favorite.
Thanksgiving stays traditional and Christmas, when it is my turn to host, is whatever I feel like.

Not on Christmas, but many here will have pasta with their 7 fishes Christmas Eve. We are ordering Chinese.
