What's on Your Christmas Dinner Menu?
 
I'm hungry, and I want to know what you guys are setting up on the table come Christmas Eve. My family won't be cooking up a bird. Instead, we're celebrating Christmas south of the border (like we always do) at my grandmother's house. She does all the cooking. Here's our list:
- champurrado
- buñuelos and syrup
- tamales
- pierna
- pozole
My family and I might blow the traditional dinner by bringing over some pecan pie and mashed potatoes or something. :p

Pierna? LEG? Or is that piernes? Or something else?



I'm just going to eat cookies and beets. Maybe some arms.

It's more like X-mas Eve dinner, my mom's family(Parents,Siblings & Neice) live in the same town. So we go to my Nana's & eat on X-mas eve & open their presents.
Ham is all I know so far.

Um, I don't eat dinner at my house. We always go to my grandma's for the GOOD food. The only things that I know for sure that we're having over there are mashed potatos and fried chicken. We DO have Christmas breakfast, though! This year it's going to be keash(or however you spell it).

Christmas menu? Very simple - Chinese!

Seriously - my mother, grandmother, and I are going to spend time together on Christmas Eve, and walk around the corner to her favorite Chinese restaraunt (the food is excellent - we did this last year). No we will not have any Chinese carolers like in "A Christmas Story.":frankiesmile:

Aww man, looking at what all you guys have kinda makes mine seem boring XD

We just have the usual turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, turnip, little dinner rolls, and some sort of pie (Probably pumpkin)

But for breakfast we have what I'd call a "Denny's Breakfast", pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausages, hash browns. Yeah X-Mas morning sure is good :)

Nothing wrong with a little Chinese cuisine. If anything, I endorse it, specially for the holidays. That's why you'll never see me slaving over a hot stove. :p Take-out for everyone.

Oh someone beat me to making this thread. :terrsmile:

We're going to have honey-glazed ham (I make my own glaze), butter beans, from-scratch potatoes au gratin, biscuits, the obligitory devilled eggs we must have for every holiday, orange cream cake, and whatever my dad brings, assuming that he will bring something, and he always does.

Anyhoo, it sounds like ORD's family is going to have turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie, cranberries, and other stuff. Should be an enjoyable meal. :)
