Well.... Our family consists of Christians, Jews, and atheists. Thus, we tend to stay away from the more traditional religious overtones of the holiday season, opting instead for a more egalitarian celebration of family and community. This year, we're doing lasagne (with sausage for the Christians, vegetarian for the Jewish faction) and various sides, with a big emphasis on the dessert menu. If Hannukah and Christmas were closer together as they often are, then latkes and sufganiyot would have made the cut. However, since Hannukah coincided with Thanksgiving this year, Yiddish fare will not be featured in the late December meal. Pasta, salad, and sweet stuff in our home this year. We are all gaining a few lbs this winter solstice...
