What's Everyone making for Christmas Dinner?

[Irin997]

Every year, once a year, on Christmas we have beef fondue - made with filet.

Sides: twice baked potatos, broccoli bake, bread/rolls, and maybe something else.

For dessert, chocolate fondue with an assortment of fruit, cookies, and cake.

I'm doing a pork loin, stuffed with cornbread and sausage stuffing, wrapped in puff pastry. For sides I'm doing baked potatoes, fried brussel sprouts, a fruit salad, and dinner rolls.

This thread is making me hungry!!
Christmas Eve, my mom's entire family always goes to my grandmother's for dinner. (All 50 of us!!) We have turkey, ham, and everyone brings side dishes and desserts. I'm taking broccoli casserole and Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake (at the request of my children!!)

Christmas Day dinner is at my house with DH's dad and sister's family. Again, at the request of my kids, I'll do:
Turkey (brined ala Alton Brown)
dressing
broccoli and rice casserole (a yearly request from sis-in-law)
sweet potatoes topped with brown sugar and pecans
butter peas
corn
rolls
still deciding on dessert--son is angling for apple pie!

These are all great ideas! I bought a spiral ham and am planning to do sweet potato caserole topped with marshmallows, asparagus with holandaise sauce, individual cranberry gelatin molds, & rolls. I want to find 2-3 more side dishes also! I am going to make cheese fondue, a relish tray and spinach dip in a bread bowl for apps! Strawberry cake and mini cherry cheesecakes for desert! I am relieved it is beginning to come together!

Im not cooking on christmas as dh is on shift so Im going to his cousin's house. I will be making a appetizer and bringing the buffalo chicken dip as per her request..

we are going to cook christmas eve this year. we normally do not and go to my dad's but they cannot do it this year. so I did buy a turkey and planning on cooking it and making my stuffing, broccoli casserole, sweet potatoe casserole, mashed potatoes, corn, pickled beets and deviled eggs. Pretty much the norm for us for the holiday. my sister is bringing a dessert and we have all of the cookies I have been baking if that isnt enough.. Im looking forward to it since we were in disney for thanksgiving and I didnt get to have all of my favorites..

We (and the rest of our suburb) have been seriously snowed in. I finally was able to move my car tonight - until I got it stuck in the snow. DH's boss has been kindly giving him rides into work and stopped to let him do some basic grocery shopping because our shelves were getting bare. Luckily I had purchased the ham the day before we got hit with this weather, but I'm going to have to get creative with the fixin's if it doesn't get any better.

We're having:
Ham
Can of veggies (yay for stocking up on those green beans)
And there might still be some instant spuds in the cupboard if not it's rice a roni.

But no yams, no pie, no rolls, no cranberry sauce. Those are my favorite parts!

Luckily DH also was able to pick up the stocker stuffer stuff because I had forgotten most of it. Santa was rather close to having to give coupons and IOU's.

We had a big Thanksgiving dinner and lots of leftovers and none of us were ready for a big meal like that. This year it will only be 5 of us and I'm just making "party foods". I'll slow cook a chuck roast for bbq beef sandwiches, make mini meatballs with parm cheese, stuffed eggs, potato salad, stuffed mushrooms, mini sausages in sauce, spinach/artichoke dip and crackers, assorted cheeses and relishes..then Christmas sugar cookies, tarts, and my kids favorite fudge. This is what we used to do for Christmas eve but I have to work this year and thus we have to skip that get-together. I plan to enjoy my grandson this year - he was only four months last year and slept through most of the festivities.---Kathy
