So. What did you eat for Christmas dinner?

[JW_Halverson]

A friend of mine was talking with me the other day asking about what I was having for Christmas dinner.  I said I was as yet undecided since I had no idea what the final head count would be at the table.  He grinned a little and asked if ham was traditional with my family for the holidays.  I said with our Norwegian background, we generally had lutefisk on Christmas eve, but for Christmas dinner we really had no tradition. 

He went to his truck and brought out an 8 lb spiral cut ham and said he had me covered.  To say the least, he had caught me off guard.  I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say I was speechless. 

I ran into his business partner a day later and mentioned it to him.  He laughed and said this was not unusual.  The guy buys a truckload of hams and hands them out like gum!!! Some people get the joke and others don't.  Since you don't know him, I will have to clue you in to the joke. 

He's an observant Jew that keeps kosher. 

That was one dang good ham!

We usually have the traditional ham and/ or turkey, but this year was different. This is the first time in over twenty years that we have had Christmas alone; No friends, no acquaintances, and neither side of the family. We had ribeye steak, cooked over a pecan wood fire.   Curtis

We had stuffed steak and butter roasted potatoes strips and baked beans. And we had a plate of cheese and deer trail Bologna and crackers before and after dinner also. Good eaten there.

  This year we went a bit different for Christmas dinner. I looked for a nice beef tip roast but nothing looked good for the price.  My wife, daughter and myself all decided on fried chicken, so I cooked fried chicken, mashed potatoes and milk gravy, steamed broccoli and green beans. No pies or cookies this year. Don't ask why, I don't know.  We did have orange, grapefruit and apple salad though and washed it all down with a nice Bota Box Shiraz and Sierra Nevada pale ale. We had the left overs tonight for supper.

Venison Neck roast slow cooked with oven roasted Taters, with a couple slices of buttered Pumpernickel bread. Makes some awesome sammiches for left-overs. Almost forgot - had a nice Dutch Apple Pie also ! Bob

We had a Christmas Eve gathering of friends and family, having a lot of finger foods. On Christmas morning we have a large breakfast with family, then get to open gifts. Dinner is snacking all day on left overs from the finger foods and all the sweet treats. We did things a little different, but no one went hungry and still enjoyed the carb overload and afternoon nap...

I worked Christmas eve. I worked Christmas day. This year we broke from 'tradition" was me and wifey and youngest child. He did most of the cookin' Herbed Pork roast, savory yams, carrots and onions cooked together, green bean casserole, and baked pumpkin with apricot preserves.  No pies, he did make some spiced cookies though.
