Christmas Dinner

[tonyc1]

How many people will be sitting down for dinner in your house on Christmas Day and who will cook it, husband or wife?

Merry Christmas to everyone and may Santa bring you what you want.

In my family, all the guests (men and women, anyone outside the immediate family) are served upon by members of the family (men and women). Of course this is all powered by liberal quantities of board and card games, movies, wine, and ale. Holidays are outrageous fun at our place!

My mother-in-law is cooking. *sigh* I'll have a Clif bar in my purse just in case.

Just sharing some traditions with you all

Here in the US we have a potluck.

There's so many of us so that's the most sensible thing to do. My husband always makes our part, my American cocking is not something I'm good at all

I have to say that this time of the year I do long to get to my side of the family, it's hard to be away from kids and grandkids...I thought I might show you some pictures of a couple of typical Swedish X-mas tables, so called smorgasbord (meaning sandwich table) We celebrate x-mas on the 24th

You'll find the star of the table being the semi salted ham, then meatballs, pickled herring in many flavors, smoked salmon, graved salmon, ribs, smoked lamb, sausages, eggs and million more...And my absolute favvo, Jansons temptation, a gratin with potatoes, onion, loads of cream and a specially flavored anchovies.

.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone:-)

Tony.

Clif Bars are all-natural organic energy bars, and mostly very good. Even the ones I don't care for are pretty decent, but so far my favorite is the Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch. They're great to keep on hand when you don't get to eat a proper meal... and no one will ever hire my mother-in-law as a personal chef.
