Do you guys do a Christmas Dinner? If so what do you have for a main course? What is your favorite part of the meal?

Re: Christmas Dinner
We will eat around 1 on Christmas day with the main dish being ham at MIL's ex husband's family.
We will do snacks and apps at FIL's around 4 on Christmas Day.
I don't really have a favorite part. Growing up we never had a Christmas Dinner.
I am going to try to get doughnuts for Christmas morning at my Mom's though which would be nice

We have a nice dinner at my parents house. It consists of Prime Rib and lobster. My mouth is watering already.
I'm usually in charge of a few of the sides, and do rosemary potatoes and almond green beans. We also usually have some yummy wine with it too.
SMIL does biscuits and sausage gravy for dinner on Christmas Eve, and her and FIL rant and rave about them. It's actually my least favorite meal for the holiday because it's bland, and I usually end up eating like 4 biscuits with jelly on them as my meal.

I forgot about the dinner we do on ChristmasEEve. DH's Grandma makes this tortellini soup that the whole family raves about but I don't like it. It is like watered down tomato soup with remade tortellinis in it. But this year MIL is bringing her AMAZINGTurkey Noodle Soup so I am aactually excites to eat dinner there this year!

We kind of get dinner (they're already eating or have eaten by the time we get there) with my ILs on Christmas Day and it's basically a repeat of Thanksgiving. Though our main dessert is birthday cake for DH's aunt since her birthday is on Christmas. There's also pie and cookies.
I never have to make anything since we're always the ones traveling all over, but I do bring a massive cookie tray to each house each day.

I come from a huge italian family. we've always done lasagna, meatballs, eggplant parm, sausage...the whole gamet.
once the family got really big they decided it was easier to just do pasta with all those sides instead of lasagna.
so when I got back to Ohio I get pasta.
If I stay on the East coast with my IL's for christmas I make lasagna, meatballs, and salads for everyone.
I love it and couldn't imagine it any other way.

For Christmas Eve, we go to my ILs and have fish. They usually order fried calamari, shrimp and lobster. I don't really eat any of it, but MIL usually makes pasta and that's what I eat. When they get to the lobster I usually go play with my nephew since I can't stand the smell.
Christmas day we're going to my dad's for breakfast and to exchange gifts. For dinner we go to my aunt's house. We eat waaay too much food. It starts with antipast then we have pasta and Italian wedding soup that my grandma makes, then for real dinner she usually makes filet mignon. I don't really like red meat, so I have a taste but am usually so full that I just pick on the sides.
@JennaHack and @wiggyslilsis - cookies are my contribution to all of our visits too! I make 5 or 6 different kinds and meet up with my mom so we can make our trays together. Everyone looks forward to them.
