Thought about making a pole, but I'm too lazy to do that.


Do most of y'all have ham or turkey for Christmas dinner?

I prefer a nice honey glazed and maybe even a brisket if we're having enough people over.

Sometimes both, if we have company. My turkey was too dry at Thanksgiving. I need to fix that.

Honestly, I really don't care for turkey at all and I barely tolerate the honey glazed. I like ham in sandwiches, but not as the main dish. I wish my family would be willing to do something outside the box like tacos or something but I know that as much as I suggest it, we're gonna end up with the same old traditional crap.

I've grown up with the turkey for Thanksgiving and the ham for Christmas, but this year we're doing both the turkey and ham for Christmas.

I don't celebrate Christmas either, per se, but I do celebrate "That Day We Pretend Santa Claus is Real and Get Together and Give Gifts to People We Care About."

And on that day, we have turkey.

Is the recipe in Michelle's White House Cook Book? If not....it's some sort of disinformation by our Australian Overlord.

My turkey for thanksgiving was emBearAssingly dry. I was determined to get it right for Christmas and I did. Had a great meal today, with the turkey, cranberry sauce, marinated mushrooms, dressing, cole slaw, lettuce & spinach salad, olives, chiles, buttered and toasted ciabatta, made-from-scratch mac & cheese. Ok, I didn't make the cheese or the macaroni from scratch.

boiled shrimp & oysters on 1/2 shell. (I eat ham pretty often, anyway, and I had the obligatory turkey at thanksgiving.)

This was our first Christmas not going back home or doing an Oklahoma/West Texas trips to family. We ended up going to The Charthouse in Genesee this afternoon for Christmas dinner. So we had seafood instead, in years past at my parents it has usually been ham and when we did Christmas at my relatives in Altus many years ago it was both ham and turkey.

Wow, I think I might have to have Christmas dinner with SanJoachinSooner next year. Seriously sounds like a good spread.

I think I get frustrated with my family's lack of originality when it comes to holiday meals. Its like we're stuck in the same old Thanksgiving rut of the same tired old food (that I really don't enjoy very much) over and over again. Then to basically have the same kind of meal twice within the same month makes it even worse. Every time I try to suggest an alternate menu it gets shot down by everyone.

Anyway, I'm very happy now that I don't have to even think about enduring another honey-glazed until Easter.

We always have turkey during the holidays for all the blue hairs in the family. I myself like a salt cured/smoked ham. Glazing a ham should be illegal IMO.

Speaking of seasonal; we were enjoying big glasses of egg nog last night and somebody said, "Why don't they have egg nog year 'round?" The reply was, "Because we would all be morbidly obese if they did!"

Probably true.

For Christmas, it is always one of those spiral cut hams with the maple glaze from Walmart but we also get a small turkey breast for those who don't want ham.
