Scallops with an orange- soy Demi glacé, spinach- feta cheese mini soufflé bites in puff pastry, spinach salad with pomegranate, Comice pear, pea cons and balsamic dressing, stuffed crown roast, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, green bean casserole, and butternut squash. You would probably think that I am feeding and army but it's only me and my DH as family is all back East. I love Christmas Dinner. Especially when the house is all decorated.

Glad you posted this Madamekelly. We are still so undecided about what to fix. Until yesterday we weren't sure what we were doing for Christmas. My dad just got out of a week stay at the hospital for his heart. Now we can plan but it's all such late notice. I think we are having turkey, gravy, mac & cheese and vegie pizza, so far. That sounds very disconnected, doesn't it? Oh well, as long as there is some food on the table and we are together. At least dad will be there.

We are having hot turkey sandwiches. The oven decided not to work anymore in the middle of baking the turkey at Thanksgiving so I put it in a big roaster that I had to finish cooking. We had ham for Thanksgiving with the promise of turkey sandwiches for Christmas. It will be a day of people coming and going and hot turkey sandwiches will be great for those who are hungry.

First time this year, we are going to a Chinese Buffet Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we (Husband and I) am having Bsked Roast Beef, Potatoes Green beans and brown and serve rolls. Homemade cinnamon rolls for dessert.
I am tired of having everyone over for Christmas Eve. Too much work and expense. Grands are getting older have jobs, except for 12 Year Old. Starting a new tradition.

As it is just my daughter and me, we chose Pasta Con Broccoli, fresh salad with artichoke hearts, parmeaseam, red onions , romaine lettuce and hearts of palm. Christmas Eve will be a feast of cold shrimp and cocktail sauce, nuts, dates,candies, crackers, several cheeses, fruit, olives etc.
it is a very different year for us, usually we are more theTurkey feast! But there have been many changes this year and we decided to go with new traditions. Merry Christmas to all and best wishes in the New Year.
God Bless

My family stays home all day Christmas. People come and go but dinner is big this year 18 of us! My mother is bringing salad with pecans and dried cranberries, and fresh broccoli. I am making filet mignon, spiral ham, corn casserole, twice baked potatoes with cheddar and bacon, brown sugar carrots and of course, crescent rolls.
For breakfast my kids always ask for cinnamon rolls. I would make homemade but I am working until 11:30pm Christmas Eve and decided the kind in the can will be fine. For lunch I am putting out BBQ chicken wings, deviled eggs and broccoli cheese soup so whoever stops by can have a bite.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Well, Bob Evans will be cooking for us this year! We're having our Christmas tomorrow, the 23rd.....DIL is a nurse and just got off 2 12 hr shifts and is working on Christmas day. She and DS come from about 60 miles away. We're kind of the walking wounded this year...I've been in the hosp 3 times this year, last with a pulmonary embolism and am still trying to get stronger. DIL and SIL both having problems with back, everyone is kind of disabled! 3 of us are getting Bob's Steak Monteray--yummy with portobello mushrooms and monteray cheese on top! Don't know yet what DD and SIL are getting....DIL is making a pumpkin roll for dessert and probably deviled eggs (they've become a family tradition!). There will be lots of candy for dessert---hoping I'll still get the tin of chocolate covered macadamia nuts-another tradition! The thing I'm most excited about is that DS and DIL are bringing their new 6 week old chihuahua puppies....can't wait to cuddle them! They just lost their two large dogs and these babies came just in time! There are no kiddies around now so the puppies will be fun! I wonder how Tinkerbell will react to them! Oh....I'm also going to get an "extra" meal--I think meat loaf, for me for later. I'm just so grateful that we can be together for another year...it looked kind of iffy for a while there.
All your meals and dishes sound so wonderful...I think a Christmas recipe thread is in order!!! It's so fascinating to see the menus from the USA, Canada and England!
