Gumbo . It's been a tradition for many yrs in our family .

Christmas Eve: Ham, roast potatoes and asparagus, and wife's chocolate Christmas tree cake with coconut flake-icing. Yearly song of HB to Jesus. She did this as a kid and continues with our family.
Christmas Day: Prime rib, twice-baked potatoes, green beans, cheesecake.

Christmas prime rib is always a constant.
Christmas Eve is usually pasta, but the cake is a constant.

For my immediate family Christmas, Kevin and I (and our spouses) will be combining efforts to treat the family to a prime rib dinner. Last time we did it, we completely nailed it. Looking forward to a repeat performance!

Christmas Eve is shrimp gumbo at large family gathering. Christmas Day is normally some good beef with just my immediate family. This year, it'll be prime ribeye steaks from our favorite butcher cooked on the grill and served with a miso garlic butter sauce.

I'm going to smoke a Tri-tip on my new Kamado Joe.

Christmas Eve supper with the kids And Grand kids. We are doing Biscuits and gravy , Hash Brown patties, ham,eggs and Bacon.
My wife and Myself for Christmas late dinner i will be grilling Some Rib-eye with Baked potatoes and a salad

john1 -- sounds like your inmates will be eating pretty well. What would I have to do to get locked up in your facility?

We have family coming and going all day, so we just do finger foods and cook more through the day as we need stuff. The family also brings snacks for everyone, so at the end of the day when I go to work we have a good assortment there too.

Huge pasta assortment Christmas Eve and then beef brisket on Christmas Day!!

Traditional, more or less, turkey dinner. My roommate's daughter and her boyfriend are hosting, they got a new turkey-sized propane deep fryer and are doing the turkey that way. My own family (sister, primarily) have banned me for my refusal to get vaccinated, so my "pseudo-family" was kind enough to include me.

My fantastic neighbor has shared a great prime rib dinner with me for the last few years.

I'm going to a friend's house Christmas. There are going to be a few couples.

Christmas dinner this year? Well it's going to be hamburger/cheeseburgers.

Christmas Eve, I'm going to be doing pan seared Barramundi and Red Snapper, and shrimp. With rice, quinoa, black beans, and cilantro.

I got a good deal on a "Choice" rib roast. Alton Brown isn't offended by "choice" so we'll see how it turns out. Thanks to the benny6 Prime rib roast thread I'm making some adjustments.

Growing up it was always ham and a ton of sides. Problem was I got sick of ham in short order and pineapple rings made me shudder.

Flash forward 50 some odd years and we are back on a ham kick. This year it is a cherry bourbon/mustard glazed spiral ham. I'm truly looking forward to it. Funny how time changes things.

This is what we do as well.
Potato salad as a side.

Everyone meeting at my parents on Christmas Eve for takeout Chinese. It’s sort of our tradition the past several years.

Ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, baked fresh kielbasa and sauerkraut.

Loco Moco is what the grandson requested so that's what it will be!

Christmas morning I will be putting a large, well seasoned (Cajun) Boston Butt into my smoker where it will spend many hours @ 225F. With that will be dressing, some Brussels Sprouts with blue cheese dressing, and white Pita bread. For dessert will be either carrot cake, or Lemon meringue pie.. I will be eating alone, so there will be plenty of left overs, and I will slice and vac-seal the smoked pork.
