Well if your family has a big dinner, then probaly there will be more food than one could eat...perhaps beverages would be best. make a holiday refreshment.A tasty, non-alcoholic warm punch for holiday entertaining.
Christmas Cheer
4 cups Apple Flavor JUICE® 100% Juice
3 cups pineapple juice
2 cups cranberry juice
1 medium lemon, peeled*
1 cinnamon stick

I would suggest a big tray of veggies .... cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, celery and either or both green / black olives. Everyone's Xmas dinner table is loaded with fat , yummy foods so why not bring some yummy veggies to go along with it?!!? I know my family loves the fresh veggies in additional to all the traditional stuff! Happy Holidays!

Sweet potato casserole. Or just make some kind of dessert. Everyone loves dessert. I'm making a pineapple upside down cake and a banana pudding.

Everybody loves the tray with the pickles, black & green olives, baby carrots, chips, and a dip in the bowl in the middle.
Or make homemade cranberry sauce, sooooo easy & good. A homemade pumpkin pie with whipped cream is also a classic.
Most of the time, unless it's really unusual, or you can't boil water right, people are glad to see homemade food & will welcome whatever you bring :)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

i like pumpkin dip. it sounds kinda gross if you dont like pumpkin, but it doesnt taste a thing like pumpkin!
basically, it is:
8 oz. softened cream cheese
15 oz. canned pumkin
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
(if no pumpkin pie spice is handy:
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. ground cinnamon)
blend the cheese and suger together, and then add the other ingredients. serve it chilled with slices of apple, or pears, or gingersnaps.
other great wasy to get dessert ideas is to look on the side panel of boxes of gingersnaps.
