Food Christmas Dinner Menu!
- Thread starter jchiara
- Start date
We usually do the exact same foods that we have for Thanksgiving. Is that weird? lol. The more I think about it, the more odd it seems and I wonder if it is common for other families to make the same foods that they make at Thanksgiving for Christmas...
We're doing Christmas at my in-laws this year, and they always do tasty Polish food:
-Cheese & Onion soup (so naughty and delicious)
-Polish sausage
-Perogies
For a Christmas dinner with friends this week I'm making:
-Roasted rack of lamb with rosemary butter
-Pureed sweet potatos with pear and ginger
-warm spinach salad with mushrooms and goat cheese
-not sure about the appetizer yet

Our Christmas menu varies from year to year. One year we did tamales, chips & queso, and margaritas. Another year it was lasagna. This year we're doing a smoked ham, probably with mashed or au gratin potatoes, corn, rolls, and red velvet cake.
Christmas Eve - I'm almost embarassed to admit what we eat! We always go to church, then stop at 7-11 for hot chocolate or coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. Then we spend an hour or so driving around and looking at Christmas lights and listening to holiday music while we chow down on our succulent gas station feast. This started a few years ago because we had gone to church, but did not have time to eat beforehand, and were starving after, and 7-11 was literally the *only* place that was open. After that we just kind of kept up the tradition. Yes, that's right - our Christmas Eve dinner consists of gas station breakfast sandwiches.

I LOVE your Christmas Eve tradition/story, all about togetherness!
