Christmas we have ham, Mac n cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, and some deserts sweet potato pie, chocolate pecan pie. So Christmas dinner is kinda similar to Thanksgiving with less emphasis on turkey.

New years we usually had Fat back, collard greens, squash, blackeyed peas, mashed potatoes, and green beans. And every year someone makes the claim that "if you don't eat your greens on new years day, you won't make any money through out the year" not sure where that saying comes from but I hear it every year.

We make a family Christmas eve feast in my parents house. I cooked red beet soup and pastries with pate inside. My mother bakes a cheesecake and make her famous cod in Greek sauce. My father makes deer roast and beef roulades.
It's a ton of food and I'm sure half of this all lands in trash.

I’ll do a variety of wings and maybe nachos for everyone to chew on early and for dinner I’ll a badass Mac and cheese, garlic and butter red potatoes, a nice salad, some prime rib, then a pecan pie, a variety of truffles, and a cheesecake and I’m sure my daughter will do green bean casserole and my other daughter will maybe do rolls and thats about it

JohnE_69 · Answer

I go to my older sister's house, and she usually has a nice spread of food dishes displayed over the kitchen counter. She usually has either roast beef or prime rib. with mashed or twice-baked potatoes, green beans or carrots, salad, rolls, soda bread. and you're allowed to go up for seconds, although 1 plate usually does it for me.

This year I'm doing things differently and making whatever we want instead of the traditional foods. Thanksgiving was Puerto Rican themed with arroz con gandules, pasteles, pastelon, rellenos de papa and coquito. For our Christmas party last night we did a full blown taco bar.
