I know most people have pretty much the same thing as Thanksgiving: Turkey, potatoes, etc.
But what do you usually have? Be nice to hear what kind of dinner you have on Christmas.
Do you go real fancy? Order out? Nothing special?
We're kind of tired of Turkey & trimmings. Thinkng about ordering pizza, lol.
Also, do you have it on Christmas Eve, or on the 25th?

I vote pizza. It's still a "dinner" type of food that everyone can sit around & eat together.
I would have it on Christmas day.
Good idea :]

I normally do pretty much the same dinner as Thanksgiving, but I make a ham instead of Turkey and no stuffing.
Some friends of mine always have Chinese food on Christmas Eve, followed by a traditional Christmas dinner on the day.

We stopped having Christmas dinner when I was little. Mom got tired of being trapped in the kitchen while friends and family dropped in. Since then we've cooked a turkey breast and a ham and lots of desserts, and kind of grazed all day. It's fun and a whole lot less stressful.

At my Aunt Paula's house we have tostadas and Mexican food. At my Grandma Teahan's house, i can't remember what we have for dinner. We have it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Yay me! (I'm only 11, so that's why I have these kinds of answers)

We have ours on the 25th.
Christmas dinner at my house:
Turkey
Stuffing
Cranberries
Mashed potatoes
Squash with brown sugar
Carrots/peas/broccoli/beans (vegetables. It varies)
Gravy
And for dessert: my mom's baking. She makes TONS of stuff. Shortbread cookies, nanimo bars, lemon tarts, almond fingers, chocolate cake shortbread squares (my favourite!) and marshmallow squares. I don't know how she does it, but she does.
You could probably gain about 15 pounds eating one Christmas dinner at my house. But it's worth it!
