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
... 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

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!). -

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.
