For the last 20 or so years, I have refused to cook what our family considered traditional Christmas dinner. It was usually a remake of what we ate at Thanksgiving and I got tired of that instant replay every year. My older brother still cooks this way but fortunately, his Christmas dinner is usually a week or so after Christmas.
Since it'll be just my daughter, her BF and the grand baby, we decide at Thanksgiving what we want for Christmas dinner. Usually it's something different every year and so, we decided on German Schnitzel, baked Brussel's sprouts with Balsamic vinegar and honey and either stuffed baked squash or mashed taters. I always make a nanner bread because between Jake and I, we can't seem to get enough of my recipe on that. Might even bake some Butterscotch morsel cookies too. Although that's not set in stone.
So what are you having this year? Got a special recipe you want to share? OH, and FWIW, it'll still feel like Christmas even if you ditch that egg nog. Who said it was a "must have" anyway?
