    My family is having a potluck so I'm making a pea/asparagus pesto risotto with veggie chicken. It took me 2 days in total to cook for Thanksgiving so I am very happy not to have to spend two days cooking for Christmas and to just be able to relax....

    What qualifies as "too terribly cold" by your standards?

    Main course:
    - A beef rib roast
    - Pan gravy made with the roast drippings
    - Cheesy mashed potatoes
    - Fresh green beans
    - Crusty warm rolls with butter

    Homemade desserts (and probably breakfast, lol):
    - pumpkin pie
    - chocolate chip and sugar cookies
    - banana bread
    - apple cake
    - pumpkin bread with chocolate chips

    Coffee, tea, apple cider, milk, and a variety of juices will also be serve throughout the day. Adult beverages will be cracked open when the stuffed full kiddies are put to bed.

    No cooking here... having an Italian boyfriend negates all responsibility for that since his family insists on cooking (huge amounts) of everything

    But I am going to probably make some oatmeal cookies for breakfast, and probably some Disaronno fudge for my mom.

    We're having a two person vegetarian Christmas so it's pretty unorthodox, but I couldn't be more excited.

    Main course will be soyrizo hash with potatoes, parsnips, onions, hot peppers & appropriate seasonings topped with a fried egg, cilantro, and avocado. Salsa verde and chips on the side if we feel like it.

    Then we might make a minty, shalloty lentil salad served with goat cheese/some sort of greens.

    If we're feeling seriously decadent, we also have ingredients for gingerbread pudding...

    If it were just me I'd be eating Chinese but I'm blessed with a SO who loves to cook.

    Christmas dinner is my favorite meal all year! My family mainly just does a ton of little appetizers with turkey as the main course.

    -Warm spinach salad with cranberries, walnuts and avacado.
    - Three bean salad
    -Corn
    -Turkey
    -Sweet potato soufflé
    -Artichoke and spinach turnovers
    -Little cocktail meatballs
    -Brie, along with a fancy little cheese platter with 4-5 cheeses.
    -Shrimp
    -Polish cucumber salad
    -little hot dogs (my once a year hot dog eating!)
    -Buffalo chicken pastry thingys
    -Mashed potatoes of course
    -Cabbage rolls

    I'm sure I left some stuff out, but that's the gist of it. My mom also will make chocolate Babka, cheese Kolacky and a variety of Polish pastries for desert!

    Mash potatoes w/ gravy
    Mixed green salad with cherry tomatoes and pumpkin seeds
    Asparagus with small capped mushrooms (lots of mushrooms).
    Traditional dinner roles
    A variety of wines, Loser brand beer, juice for the kids

    Dessert: chocolate cake, assorted cupcakes, candy, organic
    molasses cookies, blond caramel brownies
