what's on the menu? Any folklore involved?
As for us it's just the regular type meal.
(baked fish & mashed potatoes)

We usually have a huge baked ham and some baked bean casserole. (You know, the kind with bacon, hamburg, stewed tomatoes and stuff)This is a nice, low maintenance family classic that can be put in the oven and crock-pot repectively and basically ignored while we play games and watch movies and have fun as a family. It came about because we were all sick to death of turkey leftovers at this point...We have a large family, I have seven brothers and sisters, all together, including steps, halfs and etc...My husband comes from a family of four kids...We all have about three kids so when we get together the easier the meal is to make, the better it is for all of us...I sometimes serve gingerbread cake and whipped cream or apple crumble, as these desserts set off the meal really well...This meal has kind of evolved from serving a ham dinner with all trimmings and several side dishes and pies to what it is now...I feel a lot more relaxed making this meal than slaving over the stove the whole day, especially if I have a big head from the night before...
Cheers!

Stuffed roast with juices pour over it. Mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, carrots, and green harriet beans. Great traditional British gravy.
Big dish of salad- a must always.
Home-made steamed pudding and homemade custard.

well starting early in the AM's, it's dry toast and maybe some ginger ale for the hangovers. after that? leftover christmas candy and snack mix from the night before... top it off with a cold beer while watching the football game. that's the American way.

In my house the tradition has been pork roast and sauerkraut - I think it must be a German thing, because my Italian fiance has never had it, and my grandparents who are 100% German said they have had this sine they were all little kids

Yes, twice, last night was soba, osh kosh soba, for a good long year, then today it was chicken soup with rice cakes, good for the soul. Japanese have it made when it comes to tradition.

In Texas it's ham, black-eyed peas, greens (like turnip or collard greens), and cornbread. Tradition says that you will have one day of good luck for every black-eyed pea you eat, and eating greens will bring money.

nothing traditional. We always have cooked cabbage though. Old wives tales says if you cook cabbage with a dime in it you will have money all year. I do the cabbage but not the dime. Who knows where it has been.

No, not really. I did have fried chicken and red beans and rice. I was going to eat fried pork chops, and macaroni & cheese, though.
