We usually have turkey at Thanksgiving.  Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie round out the menu.

Thanksgiving is usually turkey, homemade mac & cheese, green beans and pumpkin pie.

Not sure what I'll be doing for Christmas yet (usually something in the slow cooker), but New Years Eve is always lasagna...nummy!!

Thanksgiving - turkey, filling, salad, sweet and mashed potatoes, green bean salad, another vegetable, rolls, gravy, pumpkin and apple pie.

Christmas - ham and prime rib, potatoes - mashed & sweet, rolls, salad, 2 or 3 vegetables, stuffed mushrooms, gravy for prime rib, and probably 2 or 3 pies or pie and cake.

My family does most of the cooking but I usually help bake the dessert. This year, I'm probably going to help my mom make a cheesecake  :)

I honestly love turkey so I don't need a holiday to eat it.  My maternal grandmother was full blooded Italian so she always made more food that you could eat for each holiday.  Of course most of the food was pasta, all kinds of pasta with homemade sauce from scratch, and lots of fresh bread.  Each holiday she'd get up at five in the morning just so everything ready for dinner.  Now that she's passed, and there is no way I could cook the way she did, I use one pasta, the rotini since it's my favorite, with a homemade type sauce like Bertolli, which my grandmother did like.  So, Thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, forth of July, Easter, etc.  I'm eating pasta.  That may not be an American tradition, but it's certainly a family one.
