Heck Turkey is good all year round but honestly I think the only time I actually make a real turkey and not a deli sandwich is on thanksgiving and christmas. Plus we sometimes make a ham for christmas also.

You could serve eye of newt and tongue of toad if that's what YOU want for Christmas No fast rules as to what you should serve -- turkey is the traditional Thanksgiving
entree, but I've been to homes where Cornish Game Hens were served for Thanksgiving and turkey for Christmas. Go figure.

My grandma usually served ham at Christmas, but sometimes ham and turkey. I think turkey is suitable for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Sure, more turkey sandwiches...yummy.
We do the turkey on Thanksgiving and ham on Christmas - I don't know why there is this tradition. My parents make the food and I eat it and am happy!

I do associate turkey more with Thanksgiving but you can have whatever you want. I like ham! A nice golden brown ham baked in the oven! We have turkey too though! I can't wait for the holidays!! Happy Holidays everyone!!

Turkey at Christmas is perfectly legitimate. Some families serve both turkey and ham.
On the turkey - you can now cook a 20 pound turkey in approx 3.0 to 3.5 hours - unstuffed. Reynolds (the same company that makes aluminum foil) sells nylon cooking bags starting in November. They are sold two per box and are often found in displays.
The nylon bag does not catch fire because the moisture from the turkey keeps the bag below its ignition point. The bag traps heat and moisture inside - which speeds up the cooking time - almost cuts it in half. Saves energy as well - you win twice.

Turkey is a must at any Christmas dinner around the US and the UK.
It's so big that it will feed all the family :)

Only if Turkey has a special high chair to sit on so he can reach the table. I usually give my Turkey his dinner outside; but Christmas dinner is special, so why not invite him in?

Serve whatever you want. I've heard of people eating prime rib, Italian food, tamales, etc etc for Christmas dinner. I've had turkey on Christmas many times and I didn't think it was odd at all.
