The holidays are all about eating in our family. I used to make the Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch for our whole family, but time constraints of my job and whatnot have resulted in the shift of those responsibilities to other members of the family. However, I am still expected to contribute to the desserts table, and I traditionally make the poppyseed cake, the rum cake, and the chocolate-raspberry-almond cookie bars. This year, I hope to fulfill my obligations!

I read poppyseed cake :o... im in!! my Oma(grandma) makes a mean one and it only comes out around christmas
Christmas around here is always the traditional turkey, cranberry, mashed, stuffing... the cakes and sweets are every changing usually with a black forrest cake as a staple. can;t wake till easter, thats when we change it up, 2 years ago we roasted a pig and ive hinted to my father we should do it again
hope no one burns the turkey or forgets the cranberry at the store, nothing hurts more than being lynched by your own family

Stephen, cooked meats and cheeses as part of breaky.? Just curious.

Already made the jams (as mentioned in another thread) and the fruitcake. (No, not that kind of fruitcake, see http://radio.javaranch.com/bear/2006/12/14/1166129940481.html).
Christmas day will just be a casual meal with one friend dropping by. Boxing day I'll be having a beef-based Christmas dinner party. A rib roast is in order I think... I'll play it by ear when I go to pick up the prime beef (gotta love Texas beef!).

TommyG....in Europe they ( well at least in the scandinavian countries) yes they eat alot of meats, cheeses and breads for breakfast. Took me a while to adapt to that sort of breakfast but I finally got use to it when it was bout time to come home .

Just made a pan of Mamie Eisenhower's Million Dollar Fudge for the church Christmas Party

I'm not much of a cook, but I will be roasting several pounds of coffee tomorrow in preparation for Christmas. We always bring freshly roasted coffee when visiting friends and family, along with whatever tastey stuff my wife has cooked for the occassion.

Normally I dont cook Christmas eve and Christmas dinner because my wife has to have it just right. Normally I cook a big Christmas breakfast. I normally make home made cinnamon rolls, biscuts and gravy, diced taters, farm sausage (combo of birds and beef) and waffles.

Mmmmm, sounds good to me. You could cook breakfast for me anytime!

We have an old-time reunion here on this thread with the two Slicks, Tom and BootedB. Now if Marsh would only chime in we'd have a full HSC house here at SLY. Merry X-mas!
Sir Booted once showed a really awesome X-mass spice cake. And SDome mentioned a tasty polish cookie. My wife baked them last year. Mmm Mmm good. O0
I personally don't go near the oven. Once tried baking chocolate chip cookies and they were burned to a crisp. My wife won't let me near her oven now.

You got your wish, I am here!
Anyway, I will be making my stepmother a breakfast on Christmas morning of a omelet, toast and juice. Later on that day, I will be going over to relatives for dinner, so I don't need to cook.
