Is it primarily reflective of:
Your religious or spiritual beliefs,
your ethnic origin
or
just whatever you think is yummy?

Whatever we like. In my family it's usually ham or turkey. This year we're having ham. And a bunch of "whatever" on the side...probably corn and sweet potatoes.
Dang, you're making me hungry. ;)

I stick to the tradional North American meal. We celebrate Yule, or the Winter Solstice for those that think Yule is a food) on the 21st or 22nd (the shortest day of the year. We eat turkey, mashed rutabega (yellow turnip) and baked stuffing.

we have a 9 to 13 course meatless dinner on Christmas even in following with Polish Tradition - pierogi's, kapusta, mushrooms, perch......
one seat is left open should a stranger be in need or passing by - always making sure there is "room at the inn" :)
white cloth over hay/straw in honour of Mary's virginity and the manger birth.
mind you nothing starts until the youngest child goes out and finds the first star of the evening!

We usually do a turkey dinner - but this year it's at my brother's house and in his wife have said that everything about the day is going to be non-traditional (so I'm a little afraid)

Our Christmas meal is reflective of geographic location in the southern U.S. Turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, corn on the cob, black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes, lots of desserts, yeast rolls, etc. I inherited my husband's grandmother's fancy cake plate. Every Christmas she made a homemade coconut layer cake, with fresh coconut she grated herself. She served it on the fancy cake plate. Now I make it and serve it on that plate, not because I like the cake that much, but it makes my mother-in-law so happy when she sees her mother's Christmas tradition continue.

My grandmother never passes up a mashed potato and roasted meat and gravy opportunity.

I don't have one. I have no family therefore, no tradition.
