Christmas Dinners
Usually, we have Italian style foods, but some of the other menus have had their share of use. This year we will have the stuffed turkey menu, since we missed it at Thanksgiving! The two dishes which my family insists upon, at Christmas, are my Cardamom Rolls, and Cranberry Relish (made the way my mother and Grandmother made it). These menus can be used anytime for a large family holiday.

we do manage to save some of the cookies we bake for setting out as part of the dessert table on Christmas Eve and Day. We have our most important dinner on Christmas Eve, with a special breakfast/brunch for Christmas Day, if I have not collapsed!The year we stayed up all night finishing the girls doll house was one of those times.
