  • On previous years my mom has done turkey for Christmas but that is because in Mexico we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. So Christmas would be the only opportunity for her to make it. We also do ham or Christmas or the traditional "tamales."

  • For Christmas we have lasagna. I'm really not sure how that tradition got started; we're definitely not Italian.
  • I am a turkey person. We do ham at Easter.
  • Neither of our families makes turkey on Christmas. We make traditional Mexican food. My family makes tamales, tons and tons of them.

    DH's mom cooks 7 different dishes for some reason I can't remember. I think it has a biblical meaning. She usually makes flautas, enchiladas, chilles rellenos, fried shrimp, rice, beans, and tamales. I love going to their house for Christmas.

  • We do Turkey at Thanksgiving, then on Christmas Eve we do homemade fish chowder with my dad and his wife, then at moms we do Turkey sandwiches.  Christmas....DH and I do our own thing.

  • We do turkey at Christmas and Thanksgiving (but totally different accompaniments) and a torti?re on Christmas Eve. If you've never had it, torti?re is this totally awesome meat pie that's traditional in Quebec. My Dad's side always had it, so we've continued the tradition.

    My in-laws do either a roast beef or duck or goose. Never turkey.

  • Ditto what starsailor said--we're a tamales and pozole family. H and I have started doing the seafood Christmas Eve dinner, though.
  • Nope.  We generally just nibble on things on Christmas.  Ham on Easter, turkey on Christmas.  Always spaghetti on Christmas Eve.

    We do tortiere on Christmas Eve as well!  It's funny, because when my parents moved from the US to Newfoundland umpteen years ago, they wanted to start a new "Canadian" holiday tradition, so this is what they did, being completely naive about how different/separate French Canada really is.  But it's stuck for almost 40 years now, and we love it.

    There must be something to the 7, because we've been to DH's cousin for Christmas Eve before, and they do the Feast of the Seven Fishes, where they do seven different seafood dishes. Yummy.
