I have to plan a theme Christmas dinner for our section at work for a progressive dinner. Our them was a southern Christmas, but that's been done so much. I want to make it more of a classic southern Christmas, like what you're Grandparents would have done. I need some ideas on what types of foods to have people bring or different decorations I can do. We're going to have a classic ham I know, but everything else is up in the air. I do need somthing that is easy to serve though and ideas that are ok for an office party. Thanks for all the help and have a Merry Christmas!

Go to the Library and in the cooking section get a southern cookbook from the 1930's there will be recipes and party ideas - many of the Ladies Home Journal books were a wealth of entertainment tips as well as recipes. You could also check with your mom or grandparents for really authentic ideas. Have Fun!

Serve Shoofly Pie and Apple Pandowdy.
Both are great Southern desserts and would go well with ham.
I would serve ham with a brown sugar glaze - along with buttermilk biscuits. Slice ham and serve each slice in a biscuit with the glaze along side.
