Your Christmas Dinner This Year?

[Lawdwaz]

Like most of you,  our Christmas dinner plans are going to be vastly different this year.  We haven't decided on the main course yet and are curious to hear others plans.  Maybe prime rib or a spiral ham?  (Xmas day breakfast will include Who Hash & eggs of course)

What's your plans?

So our good friends live right around the corner from us now and normally we go to there house. Since one works in a hospital and the other a jail, there worried about covid so this year’s a bust. At this point plans are still up in the air but I’m leaning towards staying home and cooking prime rib!

Ham ! Most of my family is down South for the winter ,so it’s just us our two kids and significant others .

Sadly ,no retries party, Truck 4 party or last day out drinks with the group I retired from .

Wife says she is making my favorite, stuffed cabbage.  That is always good.

I love stuffed cabbage, not a bad option. 
 

My sister is begging us to come for dinner at her house as of 30 minutes ago.  Uggh, there’s four in our family (3 under one roof) and five (4 under one roof there) in their family.   Damn, the decisions gonna be tough.

I have some lamb shank I just picked up. My brother and his wife will be here. Mom dad and mother in law will enjoy some good food as well. I always cook too much but that's half the fun of the holidays for me.

Ran to Wegmans yesterday and picked up a 12lb prime rib for Christmas Eve and a 12lb spiral cut ham for Christmas Day. YUM!!

Prime Rib .... wife said they are on sale at the local supermarket so that's what we be Eaten !

My wife and I host every year. We typically get the main course catered in. With a baby, it makes sense to continue that method. This year is as follows:

• Assorted Cheeses / Crackers
• A few pounds of shrimp cocktail
• Stuffed Artichokes
• Tray of Penne Vodka
• Tray of Mussels Marinara
• Tray of Chicken Francese
• Tray Shrimp Parmigiana 
• Dinner Rolls
• 3 Pies (Pumpkin, Blueberry, and Apple) from a local farm

EDIT - For Xmas eve we do the 7 fishes like everyone else.

Christmad eve is just appetizers and alcohol 

Christmas dinner will be the Turkey and whatever else my wife makes. I'm the official taste tester.

  Then my families dinner at my mom's will be our typical sea food dinner.  Throw in a bunch of shrimp,clams,crab,legs,sweet corn red potatoes,butter all tossed into 1 pot then laid out onto the table and have at it.  This will be the 25th year doing it.  The best was my grandma in her 80s she would still crack the crab legs open with her bare hands while everyone else used the crackers.  

Also alot of 7&7s will get polished off

This is last year's beef Wellington. I've been doing that for the past 7 or 8 years. It a bit of a process, but is not that hard to do. It is a little stressful to not screw up an expensive piece of meat!

[Lawdwaz]

You guys keep this up; if I don’t go to my sisters I’m picking one of your houses.  
 

Don't worry, I’ll BYOB....

[Zag]

Just came home with a 10lb prime rib!!

[Salmon_Run]

Tradition at our house is: spiral ham, home made mac and cheese with sharp cheddar, green bean casserole, fresh baked rolls, acorn squash and for dessert usually home made pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling and some dead man's wish coffee that was under the tree....

Enjoy all and be safe...

Chistmas Eve, La Vigilia we have Festa dei sette pesci, though what we make will depend on what I like at the market... pasta con le sarde, insalata di mare, lobster tails, fried calamari, baked clams, shrimp fra diavolo, fried shrimp, tuna or swordfish..... we will see.

Christmas day it will be lasagna, Prime Rib, Zuppa Toscana, rack of Venison and some side dishes.

Deserts will be subdued. My sister would make make a whole table of Italian desserts enough for Christmas eve and Christmas day, and for everyone to take home too, this will be our second Christmas since she passed. We will have a desert table but it won't be the same.

Going to be interesting, oldest  daughter is currently working on the covid unit ,and many employees are getting it , she says we have to social distance for the Bills game , we’ll see what Xmas brings .

Wife and I don’t really care to, much .

Christmas Eve is the biggest part of Christmas celebration for my family,  This year, everyone has said they won’t be coming, so it will be just my 2 daughters, SIL and a baby grandson.  My buddy and his family may come, but I am not counting on it.  Very subdued from the usual 30 or so all seated at one table.  I’m very sad about it, but it is what it is.  

Still going to do the Feast of the Seven Fishes, but it will be more mainstream fish - Baked Salmon, Shrimp Cocktails, Sushi, Fried Haddock, Fried Calamari (Rhode Island style is the new favorite) hopefully Clam and Anchovy Pasta as an appetizer.   Christmas Day they want pizza, but I am going to push for a Prime Rib or maybe lasagna.  We do chill out for Christmas Day.

Just ordered a Whole Foods Christmas Dinner for Two and a similar dinner to be delivered to my mother in her apt in Toronto.

Zoom christmas!

Same here, dinner of all kids of seafood. I had pasta con sarde tonight with hand rolled home made pasta that my parents made.

Feed me pasta and red meat for the rest of my life and I’m one hell of a happy man!!

[johnplav]

I picked up the food yesterday... we're doing Sriracha and honey glazed ham for Christmas Eve, and Christmas will be scallops and roasted lamb.

This will be a different, more subdued Christmas for sure... but It'll still be fun, and delicious!

 

[2012_taco]

Christmas is going to be just like Thanksgiving here, just me and the wifey. So dinner will probably be what ever she feels like making or having. Maybe some leftover C&P w/O from Bocci's ? 

[crappyice]

It’s begun
