What do you eat at christmas?
Just wondered what the traditional things are. Like in the UK we have tins of quality street chocolate. (ive actually seen little tins in walmart but there 17$)
So what are you guys going to be feasting on ????

Re: What do you eat at christmas?
I usually spend Christmas with my girlfriends family, they are all Polish immigrants, came here about 15 years ago.
We celebrate it on Christmas Eve, were we are not allowed to eat any meat (except fish I think) and there is one part where they all have some white paper (I think its like the stuff Catholics get in mass) and you have to break off small pieces and give it to each family member and give them good wishes for the up coming year. Quite nice actually.
Christmas day i go to my friends house, they all moved here from Huddersfield. My mates mum makes a full Christmas dinner English style and we get drunk and watch TV afterwards... she even gets those dodgy crackers sent over. I always seem to get a 'mystery calculator' in mine...
This year however... I will be spending Christmas with my Dad and Brothers in Sunny Rochdale!!!

So can I recommend Mamta'a kitchen as a good recipe website for those Indian meals.

An Indian cuisine style meal at Christmas sounds a good idea though, instead of waiting for the turkey curry !

We enjoy a traditional Scotch broth, turkey and trimmings, xmas pudding/gateau.
Continually eat chocolate throughout the day - starting at breakfast time
Always have a giant sized Toblerone too - though not all at once
Even though the kids are getting older, on the run up to Christmas we always watch Home Alone 1, 2 & 4 plus Diehard. OH likes to watch Zulu

We eat vegetarian Indian because we're vegetarian and traditional xmas dinner wouldn't work very well
