Definitely NOT in my house! While Thanksgiving to me means "fall bounty"
and all those classic foods or dishes which are very traditional to me.
Yet Christmas dinner is always totally different. Perhaps more elegant
and/or more indulgent,perhaps more relaxed? Or an all Italian meal, or
perhaps a fabulous joint of beef and Yorkshire pudding type meal... lots
of options but *never* the same meal as we just ate at Thanksgiving.
