What do people eat on Christmas?

Question

This year, my sister and I want to make Christmas dinner for our family, but we have no idea what people eat on Christmas. What is an authentic, American Christmas dinner?

Answer 1

Mostly the same as Thanksgiving. This year, we had turkey, potatoes cooked around the turkey, broccoli casserole (b/c didn't feel like making green bean & artichoke cassarole), homemade (not from a box!) mac and cheese and cornbread dressing. Forgot to get the cranberry sauce. And dessert was homemade toffee w/ chocholate and walnuts. But for Christmas we don't always do the same thing. One year we made meatballs and spagetti. One year we had lamb.
