Christmas dinner this year is going to be very traditional. I want to enjoy Christmas day and not spend the entire day in the kitchen! So, Mom and I planned a simple menu and we're going to split the food preparation. I think I got the easy job!
Here's what we'll be having and I'll put the name next to who is making it:
Ham (Mom)
Turkey Breast (Mom - she's going to make it in the crockpot)
Mashed Potatoes (Me)
Gravy (Me - but I'm cheating and I bought mix -- Ssshhhhh!!!)
Green Beans (Me)
Lima Beans (Me)
Corn (Me)
Sweet Potatoes (Mom)
Deviled Eggs (Mom)
Potato Salad -- per Neal and Beth's request -- (Me)
Macaroni and Cheese (My Mother-in-law)
Dinner Rolls (Me)
I think I'll make a cheese pie with strawberries for dessert. There'll probably be another dessert, but I'm not sure what. I'm trying not to make a bunch of dessert, so that there's none left over after Christmas!
What are you making for Christmas or Christmas Eve dinner?

Ha ha. Good idea, no leftover dessert. I have made Russian Teacakes for the kids Christmas Tins and--ahem--eaten a "few." Next year I'm going to have one marithon baking day, start at 8:00 AM and finish at midnight and then get everything delivered. One day of gluttony for the baker.
