My mom is making macaroni and cheese, pernil, probably rice and beans too. I have to pick up a nice cake or pie.

Sounds delicious to me. We're having brunch and then snacks in the evening.

Hector,

What you're having sounds super delicious.

We'll be having roasted turkey breast, fresh mushroom stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and gravy. IMG_3392.jpg

What you are having is one of my all time favorite dishes, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, yum...love it, love it, ha...

Beautiful family!

Tamales are often a Mexican Christmas tradition...so we are keeping up with the Joneses, or in this case, the Juanes, lol...

that sounds really, really good Hec. we will be doing Turkey on Christmas Eve at a neighbors, and then having my inlaws, brother and the same neighbors over on Christmas day for Ham......lots of drinks all around, LOL

[Hector]

Oh yeah, drinking...absolutely, ha...

[Nostalgiabuff]

point is to spend time with family and loved ones, those that are important to you. that's what Christmas is all about for me. the great food and drinking is just a bonus, LOL

We've done Chinese for years, but I'm not feeling it this year. Dunno what we're going to do. Hec's stuff sounds great - I could handle tamales and apple pie. I'd try some champurrado, too, but it would have to be home made / family recipe stuff.

Nothing to do with your topic, but the first time I read this as "Just reserved two dozen females" and I was like damn Hector, Merry Christmas to you.

FWIW we always do ham, green bean casserole, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rolls, and cranberry sauce(yech)

[JRT!]

DARN!! And here I was,thinking it was an invite to a Christmas dinner......LOL!!!! I'm REALLY looking forward to being back in LA on Friday though,and staying there till the 28th,when I leave for Astoria,Oregon.....yes,Goonies land,lol....and my beach,which is Long Beach,WA,for New Years weekend,and then fly off to New York for a few days before heading off back to this dump of a country again.

OH,the thread was Christmas dinner,LOL! Don't really know what this year is gonna bring. I usually just go out and eat wherever and whatever I feel like on the day. Last year it was Popeyes,lol! This year is most likely a pizza from 7-11 near the hotel I'm staying at,LOL!

Man, you guys are making me HUNGRY!

We do snacky foods on Christmas Eve over at my Dad's house. Cindy and my sister both make tons of fattening fun stuff. Pizza dip, buffalo dip, potato skins, etc.

Then Christmas Day, my cousin has taken over hosting our big get together with the extended family. But Cindy is cooking the turkey this year. We'll also have ham, stuffing, potatoes, mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, etc.

I'll be having Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels and Jack Daniels. I think the wife mentioned something about a turkey.

[cjefferys]

We usually have the usual turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. but this year decided to do something different and go with lobster tails, prime rib, escargot and double baked potatoes instead. I'm all for it because I've never been a particularly huge fan of turkey anyway (I like chicken better).

[HardyGirl]

We do Chinese take-out Christmas Eve, and then Christmas Day (or possibly the day after, as my niece is spending the day w/ her grandma), it'll be pork roast, mashed taties and gravy, brussel sprouts, , rolls and cheesecake for dessert.
