What is your Christmas day meal this year?

[Oddern]

In Norway we have the great Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. And in my family we are having pork ribs, sausage, meatballs and sauerkraut. And as always Juleøl (Christmas beer) and Akevitt to drink.



We eat until we drop.....

árs ok friðar!

Would love some duck (especially love Peking) or goose but AMy doesn't go for those.

For us it will be a honey roasted turkey breast.

Prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, and... my wife makes the world's best smashed potatoes!

For breakfast we are having white gravy and sausage with biscuts and for dinner we are having venison steaks. This is gonna be a delicious time!

I'm usually the cook for my Mum, 5 sisters and 2 brothers (including all of the neices and nephews) and on Christmas I always slow roast a prime rib and grill 1 1/2 to 2 lb. lobsters from the James Hook Co. in Boston. You can't beat surf n' turf for Christmas!!

I will be going to lunch with a friend after church on Christmas morning. I do not know what is on the menu.
Christmas evening I will cook dinner for one - tinned soup followed by turkey breast slices with roast potatoes, brussels sprouts and chippolata sausages, and a German gingerbread (lebkuchen) for desert, and finishing off with coffee.
It will be a quiet Christmas here this year.

Alex, at 7:00 in the evening your time I will be with my wife and children at my old mother's house having brunch. Raise your glass and join us in a toast to all the world, especially those of us who have touched each others lives. We will be together in spirit.

Here in Gardner, Massachusetts, USA, North America we will be making tamales, Guatemalan style, this evening and tomorrow. Tomorrow night we will go to an 11pm Mass and then dine on these simple, wonderful delicacies steamed in their banana leaves. We will forgo the midnight fireworks of Guatemala because they are forbidden here.

Christmas day my old mother, (85 years this past March), will host us for quiche, sweet breads and cakes and pie. She will work harder, in her advanced age, making this meal than she did twenty years ago making a turkey with side dishes and desserts. We are really looking forward to this!

That's funny. I have to work Christmas Day (center is manned 24/7 and it freed up someone to spend time with his kids) and we are having tamales (Mexican style) for our lunch.

...It will be interesting to see the reaction of my nephew's non-Scottish-cultured children to haggis.....

I thought my kids would turn their noses up at it, but they both really liked haggis - so they may surprise you.

My wife's grandfather is German, so we'll be having sauerkraut, bratwurst, rolaten, spaetzle, etc. I'm a huge fan of German cuisine, so I'm really looking forward to it!

Shrimp cocktail - followed by Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding, garlic mashed potatoes, a variety of roast winter vegetables and probably Brussels sprouts.

Apple pie, peach pie, mincemeat tarts, pecan pie.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Great idea. To toast absent friends in Canada, USA and elsewhere, to toast my family in Canada and I expect I will be on Skype to Gabrielle in Germany for most of Christmas evening.
