The kids finally decided....

Meatloaf
Au Gratin potatos
green bean casserole (sigh)
fried corn
deviled eggs
pickle, cheese, olive, nuts etc..
some kind of bread (probably biscuits)

To hell with tradition, that sounds delicious.

So does yours!!!  And I have to agree, it's all about happy food on the holidays right?  Even if they want green bean casserole... sigh.

Never even thought of it. That would make 2 potatoes though.

Stuffed manicotti with my mom's homemade tomato sauce! Meatballs on the side as to appease my diet.


It's always Italian and low-key on Christmas. We party on Christmas Eve, in which I know we're putting out a spiral ham and a turkey. Who knows wtf everyone else will bring. This will also involve way too much rum and sambuca. It always does.

[Adios]

What kind of rum does everybody like? We prefer Admiral Nelson spiced rum.

I don't really like rum, but my stepsister brought me back a bottle of Brugal from the Dominican Republic last year that I've worked about half way through.  It's pretty good.

Mom is partial to Mount Gay and Capt. Morgan Private Stock. I say, Sailor Jerry or GTFO.

[Rumckle]

Hmm, I'm not certain, but we do have a nice looking snapper, and we'll probably get some prawns, and either a roast chicken (which IMO it is too hot for), or some barbecue meats. Plus salads, and stuff. We also have a fruit cake.

I love summertime Xmases

ETA:
We now have ham and an arseload of cherries.

I am getting fucking crabs and shrimp.

[Richter]

Dead fucking cow, Yorkshire pudding, salad, and a few bottles of booze are the typical xmas for us.

I am getting fucking crabs and shrimp.

Mental image:  100 rampaging horny crabs with strp-ons descending on a bevy of shrimp.  50% of the Shrimp flee in terror, 25% flee to keep up appearances, most of the rest pass out, and a few just lie there and try not to let everyone else realize thet they're into that.
