My family doesn't really have a set Christmas dinner for some reason. Some years we have Turkey with all of the usual sides we have on Thanksgiving (Mashed Potatoes, stuffing, etc.) minus the cranberry sauce). Some years we have the same thing as that except with Ham instead of turkey. And some years we just have sandwich platters and chips with the usual desserts.

 

Yesterday, we had for some bizarre reason. A combination of all three of those. Turkey, ham, sandwich platter. Plus we had my mom's delicious homemade macaroni and cheese.

I cooked up a pretty awesome Christmas dinner. I broke my vegetarianism thing for the day since, you know, fuck it. I can throw health issues out the window for one day, particularly since it's before the New Year (I had already kind of cheated a couple times in the past couple months, but I am finding non-seafood meat more and more repulsive). I roasted an 8lb. ham in the oven (glazed with brown sugar, honey, and topped with pineapples and pineapple juice), made some candied yams, cornbread, and garlic mashed potatoes. Pretty damn good meal overall, and I did enjoy the ham even though I didn't eat much of it.

You know what's really good? Frying up some breakfast sausages and then putting them in with the turkey juices while it cooks. I don't know how the tradition started in my family, but it's great.

We had xmas dinner at my mom's house.

 

Ham, pineapple stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, rolls and some delicious oreo pie.

A whole fish (Snapper I think), ham, chicken, prawns, scallops, antipasto, salad, vegtables, and I made a Scoth Fillet for myself with a red wine sauce.

[Ravenbomb]

Green beans, mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, crescent rolls, and cranberry sauce, plus stuff I don't eat. I like to mix the mashed potatoes, gravy, and turkey all together and eat it with the crescent rolls.
