Lasagna or pizza. We have a 2 hour church service for Christmas day and this is something I can make and serve early in the afternoon and maybe have popcorn after services, or maybe carmel corn.

HOLIDAY HAM
1 country style smoked ham
2 c. water
20 - 30 whole cloves
one (16 ounce) can sliced pineapple rings
1 cup Maraschino cherries, cut into halves
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
sprinkling of garlic powder
sprinkling of onion powder
sprinkling of black pepper
olive oil spray
Place ham in roaster. Add 2 cups water, and cover roaster.
Bake in a 325°F oven, allowing about 21 minutes per pound for a large ham, about 25 minutes per pound for a smaller (up to 12 pounds) ham or half ham. If the ham has an exposed bone, cover this with foil. Keep an eye on the ham as it cooks and spray occasionally with olive oil during the first part of the cooking. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160 degrees. Be sure thermometer is not touching bone.
When ham is done, remove from oven. Lift off rind. Using a sharp knife, score fat surface crosswise (into intersecting squares) and dot with cloves at each intersection.
To prepare the ham coating, combine brown sugar and flour. Rub this mixture over the scored ham. Sprinkle over lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Place a pineapple slice on the ham so that one of the cloves will be in the center of the circle. Cover the clove with a Maraschino cherry half. Each cherry half should be placed in the center of a pineapple slice. Continue until ham is covered decoratively with pineapple slices and cherries. Brown, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes in a 400°F oven or until ham takes on a beautiful glazed coloring.
Note: Cut any remaining pineapple slices into halves and use to decorate around the ham at the bottom of the serving plate, alternating with sprigs of parsley or kale for garnish.

We are going to have ham, au gratin potatoes, sweet potatoes,green beans or broccoli,cranberry sauce, a relish plate(stuffed celery, radishes,olives,pickles), and I'm not sure what for dessert. Probably white cake with milk chocolate frosting. We were thinking about having prime rib but it isn't in the budget at this time.

We decided on veal piccata, garlic cream cheese mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing with fresh sage, bacon gravy, green bean casserole, and a mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette and feta.
I need to go shopping to get some things we're out of. Dinner will be Sunday!

I am cooking, well smoking a country ham on the smoker grill. It is something we have not done on Christmas, but our kids love it. So we are making it a surprise for them. They think we are doing finger foods. Not too sure of all of the sides yet.

Nothing beats traditional turkey with all the fixings!! Fortunately for me, I just eat at the in-laws and bring something. But Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie are normally what i am requested to bring!

We are not poultry lovers so I make a stuffed pork tenderloin roll that is wrapped in bacon, cheesy scalloped potatoes and what ever vege side you like , we happen to like mashed turnip. Add what ever sides and goodies you want, it's about enjoying what you like not what society dictates............We can't all like turkey lol
