I think I will make lasagna which became a tradition for my mom when she was alive and my Italian in-laws although now that they are gone I can admit I hated their version of Italian food as my mother-in-law loaded her sauce with sugar (LOL no wonder I am diabetic now - just a joke).  I will make lasagna, salad and I am going to splurge with a little really good chocolate candy and a butter cream iced vanilla cake with raspberry filling.  Darn I am now drooling.

Totally!   My girlfriend puts insane amounts of sugar in her tomato sauce I will never understand it!  It is not supposed to be sweet in my mind either.  It's Italian food not dessert! lol

Our big meal for Christmas day is at lunchtime at my dad's cabin in the North Georgia mountains. We will probably be having prime rib, some kind of potatoes, some kind of green vegetable, and, of course, some kind of dessert! At suppertime (back home), we'll usually have leftovers that we have brought home from the big lunch meal.  :peace:

I'll be working and they will serve turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes,  green beans.  That's what they had the last two years so I'm assuming it will be the same.  They had some kind of pasta I think it was lasagna for the vegetarians.

We celebrate Christmas at my daughter's house and her husband usually smokes something wonderful in his smoker outside even if it is cold out. I can't wait. His smoked meats are very tasty.

That is a good question.  I may be home alone or I may be at one of my kids' houses so who knows!  If I am home alone, something very simple and easily prepared.  I may even get something from a favorite deli I have in my town. At my youngest daughter's house, my son-in-law likes steak and chicken and she is a vegetarian.  They fix a mixture of the two options so I would have a bit of both type of dishes.

Yearly Christmas Dinner does change a little bit, we either have Turkey or Ham, or sometimes Both, plus all the usuals, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade rolls, deviled eggs, stuffing, green bean casserole, and Pecan Pie

on Christmas Eve, we always order a pizza, then open our presents

The last few years my mom has been making chicken with filling. I am pretty sure that is what we are having this year too.

We will probably have glazed ham, potato filling, and a veggie. He only likes the spiral sliced hams and I usually get 8 meals from one ham. If he doesn't want me to cook, he'll go to the restaurant over the mountain for take out and I'll have turkey, potato filling and sweet potatoes. This time I hope to have my piece of pumpkin pie and he'll have apple pie.  He forgot the pies at Thanksgiving.

On Christmas Eve we have neighbors over and we have snack foods.  We have chips and dip, cheese ball and crackers, cheese and beef sausage with crackers, meatballs and then homemade candy and cookies.  Christmas Day we have ham and some kind of vegetables.

This year its an Italian buffet.  We cook pasta and prepare marinara sauce and alfredo sauce.  Then we have Italian sausage, homemade meatballs, seasoned chicken and shrimp. Also garlic breadsticks.  People are in charge of making their own plate of pasta.

Since Thanksgiving was a disaster at my sister's house.  My family has asked for me to do the Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas instead of the usual ham and homemade polish sausage.

I will be eating whatever delicious-ossity that my wife decides to make that wonderful day. I prefer to eat ham on Christmas, having just eaten turkey in November. But my wife prefers turkey to ham. Since she does the cooking, I usually just let her pick what we have and don't complain! Maybe she will surprise me this year with a wild card and do a beef roast instead.

Some people put a little sugar in tomato sauce when they are making it from scratch to get rid of the tomato acidity taste, especially if you use tomato paste -- perhaps your gf, or someone in her family, started off this way & just kept adding more & more sugar & now they think super sweet is the way it is supposed to be?  I agree with you though, tomato sauce shouldn't be sweet.  Prego sauce in the jar is way too sweet also, supposed to be a savory dish.  To each their own... lol

I'm not sure what we will be having.  We planned to go to a cousins house in NC but not certain if they still having the gathering.  If they cancel out, we will grab something from a restaurant because I'm not cooking.
