What do you eat on christmas?

Wow... some of these are so extravagant! 
The only people in the house who know how to cook the ham are ill so it's been postponed. Those of us who like it are having ramen and I'll probably have a PB&J or a can of stew. Or maybe macaroni.

I am so stuffed you guys.. I can't even.. and all the pastries and candys.. it's like a glue of sugar has invaded my mouth and no matter how many times I brush my teeth it wont go away, lol. I hope you all enjoyed your meals, I know I did. Loa, it sounds so fresh with all those salads. We had a bowl of salad on our table and it was delicious.

We don't have any kind of tradition or typical meal or anything. We try to get some stuff from Swiss Colony when we stay home for Christmas but its hit or miss and not necessarily the same every year. My boyfriend absolutely loves the tradition of Christmas tamales but we've never actually been able to do it since, you know, Idaho. I hope he managed to get some this year since he was in California!

I spent Christmas with my aunt, uncle, and a cousin this year. Typically they have cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast but we did that a few days early when another cousin came to visit and we did some presents with her. Instead we had a breakfast casserole thing (biscuit, egg, sausage, cheese, gravy) and an absolutely amazing prime rib for dinner. The casserole wasn't any sort of tradition but I think the prime rib might be.

Of course we had some sweets during the week too but I don't think they're like a tradition or anything. We had delicious peanut butter cookies but they ran out before Christmas. We made little hollies out of corn flakes, marshmallows, and Red Hots along with salted caramel brownies on Christmas Eve so we had some of those left.

No traditions either.
But this is the 2nd Christmas I've had my mom's Spanish-style paella.

We used to have a traditional sit-down dinner with baked ham and all that but haven't done so in a couple years.

This year it was spaghetti and meatballs with my parents and one of my sisters (the other sister lives far away and didn't get back this year, usually my parents go to her but they chose to stay home this year).

The Christmas Eve party was mostly finger foods, pulled pork and sliced turkey/ham for sandwiches and way too many cookies/cakes/candy.

Actually my husband and I typically have Kraft macaroni and cheese since we like being lazy on Christmas Day when left to our own devices. ^^*

I am in the UK so its the UK traditional dinner for us.

Christmas Eve - we made a light meal of jacket potatoes and chicken/bacon salad.

Christmas Day - Roast Turkey and Roast Beef with boiled and roasted potatoes, roasted parsnips, brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and peas with vienetta to follow - none of us like Christmas pudding.  Then for tea later, various warmed snacks and cold meats.

And a load of chocolate's

we always share opłatek before our meal! its these little thin wafers with pictures of the nativity or other scenes on them. we break off a piece as a pair, and each say a prayer for the other for the coming new year. in my family, we also just say what we love about the other person! then you eat the wafer!

once everyone has broken opłatek with everyone else, we eat! 

even though the traditional polish christmas eve meal is usually meatless, we usually have sausage, green beans, rice, pierogis, and almonds!

then on christmas morning, we have apple pancakes! we try a different recipe each year; we're still looking for our favorite! :-)
