No idea what's for Christmas dinner. But we are hosting Christmas Eve for my family and we'll be (okay, JM will be) cooking a Beaufort Stew.
If anyone is unfamiliar with this wonderful concoction, it's shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn boiled together with crab/shrimp boil or other similar seasoning. You cook it in a huge pot, dump it out on a table covered with paper and everybody grabs what they want.
I can't wait!!!

I have no clue.
QS mentioned a ham but I'm kind of keen on hitting up the Waffle House around lunch time for some killer hash browns and taking the staff a box of cookies.
Dessert suggestion for Abby:
Trashy Brownies. With ice cream and chocolate sauce of course.

I have no idea - I want to eat something healthy since I haven't been doing that lately.
My son might be in town, which means vegetarian. He's always raving about tofurkey but I just can't. do. that. So traditionally, we break out the Morningstar Spicey Black Bean Burgers and sweet potato fries.
But if he doesn't make it till after Christmas, I'll probably go nuts with brussels sprouts and maybe roast chicken
I'm done here; sick of 2 x 4s

You are welcome to crash. Bring your Derby pie with you!

This is called "low-country boil" here and it is SO yummy!
Trashy Brownies. With ice cream and chocolate sauce of course
What are these trashy brownies??

I totally suggested that to my family! Didn't go over but I'd still love to do it one day!

Christmas Eve - we're going to a family party where they have a potluck style dinner. Usually ham, pasta, chicken, salads, and lots of finger-food desserts.
Christmas - SO's family is having roast-beef, I think. My family is having ham, turkey (for my aunt who doesn't eat ham), and there was talk of a lasagna. Not sure what the sides will be, my guess is usually stuff - some kind of potatoes, salad, veggies. Pies and cookies for dessert. I'm pretty sure we're eating at my aunt's house.
It's hard to say for sure when you're not doing any of the cooking!

Some kind of beef dish, because there is a poultry allergy in the family, other than that, no idea, as I am not cooking!

My son is cooking the starter and main course for dinner so apart from turkey, I have no idea what he's doinf\g. I am in charge of appetizers and desserts. I'm doing something with shrimps, and a baked brie with crackers and my homemade spicy red pepper jelly. Desserts will be an eggnog cheesecake and a chocolate hazelnut (flourless) torte.
