Do you make a special Christmas dinner for the family or does one of your kids or relatives have one for you?

Christmas eve we celebrate with his family. The menu varies and I always bring the same thing, the family's favorite layered jello salad. This recipe was an old family favorite, but because I tweaked it and made it better, they have me make it. Last year the main course was standing rib roast and beef brisket.

On Christmas day I traditionally cook the same thing. We always have ham from Honeybaked, scalloped potatoes or fancy cheese potatoes, deviled eggs, butter leaf salad with blue cheese crumbles, Chocolate and Butterscotch cake.

We have Christmas dinner at my son's house on Christmas Eve. We usually have family coming from San Diego, the Outer Banks, upstate New York and this year, a friend from Peru. The whole family scatters on Christmas day. All kinds of good food and great company.

My wife used to do a special dinner for the family at Christmas, but now the kids have taken over (our old house is no longer big enough) and each year they take turns for the big Christmas dinner.  (turkey, ham, dressing, potatoes, salads, and whatever vegetables the host decides on)
