My mother's family always has tamales, empanadas (a stuffed pastry-my favorite filling is pumpkin), and buñuelos (cinnamon-sugar crisps).
We always combine these with the traditional American dishes, but I enjoy having the Mexican food that my grandmother always loved making.

Aw, Holy, you can come over to my house for Christmas dinner and I won't make you wash dishes, either. :)

we usually head down to the soup kitchen at the local church. it's good and we don't have to wash our dishes afterwards.
edit: hey thanks... i'm sure your family smells better than those guys at the soup kitchen

On Christmas Eve, we usually have a lamb curry for the evening meal....I am not sure whether we will be doing that again this year. The main meal on Christmas Day does vary a little.....it has often been goose or turkey, though. This year, we are having a turkey....with stuffing and vegetables....and maybe a plum pudding to follow!

We mix it up every year for christmas. Thanksgiving is very traditional but christmas is a mixed bag. this year we're doing a salt crusted prime rib, twice baked sweet potatoes, a fresh citrus salad, veggie tray, roasted rosemary baby carrots with an apricot glaze, and I am making some homeade cloverleaf rolls and fresh herb butter.
Dessert is always the tradition with us no matter what we have for dinner we have Red Velvet Cake, christmas cookies and pepper mint stick ice cream for dessert.

We have turkey, ham, yams. collard greens, stuffing, black eyed peas, various cakes, and sweet potato pies. Afterwards we have a turn getting our stomachs pumped or our hearts defibrilated. I was about 9 when I found out Santa doesn't yell CLEAR! We're losing him!
