[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 568970, member: 455"] Per usual, we always have turkey on Thanksgiving so I don't like it on Christmas (that's because I don't care for turkey to begin with! lol). I always get a spiral ham with fired in glaze. It's better then any ham I've ever had. It's weird, the turkey was the promotional one you get from the grocery store and this year somehow we lucked out and ended up able to get 2 so I have another sitting in the freezer. Well as luck would have it, the ham came (it was from Swiss Colony) and the juices from it were leaking so badly from it all over and the postal lady had to wrap it in another plastic bag. Not to mention the box it's packed in was starting to break down. I called them and told them about it so they immediately overnight expressed a replacement! Now I have 2 hams too! :hi5: Anyway, our tradition is Christmas eve we used to go out when the difficult child's were little and semi still able to be handled in public better. Now they just seem to fight and this one doesn't like that and that one doesn't like this or don't want to sit by that one, etc. Far too many issues or squabbles occur that it just can't be done so we usually order something in. Often it's Chinese. A big splurge but I'm not really in the mood for that this year so I'm thinking of maybe doing Italian from a place down the road that is pretty decent. Not sure quite yet though. On Christmas day we'll have pancakes and sausage for breakfast but not until after the difficult child's open their gifts (a tradition that started years ago when they were little and couldn't wait). Then I have crackers and cheese for everyone to munch on during the day. Late afternoon we'll have ham. Normally we'd have baked potatoes and green beans but Hound mentioned scalloped potatoes and broccoli casserole and those sound yummy so maybe I might switch it up and do them! (thanks HOUND! :) ) Dessert? I don't think we're going to need it. The kids have a ton of candy for Christmas so I'm not going to anything as I know they will pig out on it all as they usually do!
