Default Holiday Season food traditions?

Here's "food for thought" to start a new on-topic thread ;D OK, more
like "rehashed" since this subject has most likely been previously
discussed here many times already years hence

---->> What foods are/were traditionally shared for the Holiday Season
with families and friends for the special get-togethers??

With my small family, Christmas is/was celebrated Christmas Day and a
large feast was served and shared mid-afternoon with either turkey or
standing prime rib roast --- my preference is always the latter
Since the big holiday meal was such a massive endeavor involving a few
days of preparations, my grandmother would have KFC take-out available
for the Christmas Eve "dinner" (or supper, whatever your preferred noun
is used for the evening meal <g>). There was absolutely no way she'd
cook anything that evening before Santa arrived!! Christmas Day
breakfast was also always easy with self-serve pastries, coffee/tea and
anything else (cereal, toast, doughnuts, etc.) that did not require the
stove/oven, which were already in use for the upcoming holiday meal.

There'd always be "diggles" available in several little serving bowls
and plates placed throughout the den and living room. "Diggles" is the
name my beloved grandmother used for 'finger foods' such as mixed nuts,
roasted pecans (always a favorite for many), various crackers including
cheese straws*, and those sorts of easy items. "Nibble the diggles"
<VBG!> until the big feast is served.

And, during gift giving on Christmas morning a few hours before the
feast, there was always a big serving platter of large, peeled boiled
shrimp (~20-26 count) along with home-made cocktail sauce. Always a big
hit because the shrimp were hastily consumed by everyone and disappeared
quickly!

At the dinner table, there was always a serving dish with black olives
and celery and carrot sticks (no dip) to pass around. Then there was
the obligatory candied (brandied?) peaches (IIRC) from a jar to be
passed around the table, too.

The best and my favorite part of the 'dining' day, IMNSHO, is always
that very special family dessert -- Chocolate Ice Box Cake (CIBC**)!!
There was many a year when I had a generous slice of CIBC for breakfast
the day after Christmas . . . that is, if there remained any left over
from the previous day!!

And of course, after all the excitement of the special day passed and
the big afternoon feast devoured, all folks (excepts children) were on
their own later that night to fend for themselves and fix their own
snack and/or meal from all the letovers should they want something to eat!

In the 'bad old days' in Australia, Xmas day was traditionally a huge
feast of roast meats, baked veggies, ham and puddings. Which is fine
if you're in the northern hemisphere but Xmas day in Aus is usually
very hot, being summer time and all.

These days there are no rules for Xmas lunch/dinner and if anything
the above traditional fare is the exception and not the rule. Seafood
and salads are very popular.

Love the 'diggles' lol We were always very traditional and this year
I am going to my eldest grandsons and his wife. In going over the
menu (she is looking for instruction) I remarked no Xmas pud as nobody
younger than my kids seem to enjoy it. My grandson was unhappy and
convinced me to make it, even though in my opinion it was way too
late, now I find out that it isn't the eating of the Xmas pud he
likes, it's seeing it come in in flames !!!! Grandchildren~~~

It has simplified over the years Used to be afternoon at my in-laws,
evenings at my mother's who lived next door to aunt and uncle. Then it
became just our family, now just my wife and me. Children and
grandchildren are in six different states, siblings add two more so we
don't get together very often.

It has always been ham here. For the pat dozen years we've been going
to friends for their family dinner, usually on the weekend closest to
the actual holiday. prime rib there. I've always been assigned to
determine when it is done and to do the carving. There is eight of us
at the table.

My D-I-L's parents usually have a turkey dinner on xmas eve to which I
am invited. On xmas day, my son and D-I-L serve up brunch for the
extended family and neighbours followed by present giving.
For the evening it has become a tradition that I make a very rich
seafood lasagne that my D-I-L inhales and can't resist snacking on it
until it is finished despite being dairy intolerant (Crohn's).
It has also become a tradition that I make almond tarts that also
disappear quickly (grandson and his other grandfather).
This year I intend making Italian hazelnut cookies.
I hope to visit my other son and the twins before xmas. It's a ~500km
journey through the Rockies so I'll have to watch the weather forecasts.

I like the sound of the seafood lasagne if it's not a pain to
copy/paste !

I would *love* the recipe for that seafood lasagna! (I have Crohn's and
no intolerance to lactose at all. Love seafood, too!)

Yes, do keep an eye on the weather. Don't want to get snowed in or out,
stuck sitting in an airport. Obviously you don't want to go down in a
crash.

Might I please get a copy of your seafood lasagne recipe, too? Perhaps
you might consider sharing the recipe here in RFC, especially if you get
many requests? Thanks ever so much ;D

My husband's family always did breakfast casserole. Now that it's just
the two of us, we still make a small one. A bit like this one:
<http://www.cooks.com/recipe/uv2rk504/breakfast-casserole.html>
only with a little mustard powder instead of Worcestershire sauce
and Velveeta instead of cheddar.

Looks good, kind of a Chuck Wagon Quiche. Doesn't say what kind of
sausage but I suppose it's cook's choice... I don't care for breakfast
sausage, too sagey... would work for me with good tube steak coins.
Last week I bought a 3 lb pack of Sabrett's in natural casings from
BJs/$14.99, excellent.

You grind your own meat so just leave out or reduce the sage. This
would probably work well with mildly seasoned bulk Italian sausage.

I do a similar casserole when I have a partial loaf that needs to go
and I have all the bread crumbs I will ever need. I find these kinds
of casseroles work best with my home made bread (something other that
the super soft supermarket bread) And it is definitely better to let
it sit in the refrigerator overnight. We eat ours as a dinner dish. I
add broccoli or spinach, mushrooms and onions as well as the sausage.
Just cook the veggies and sausage first.

We invariably use Bob Evans Zesty Hot sausage, in the red chub.

I do a similar casserole when I have a partial loaf that needs to go
and I have all the bread crumbs I will ever need. I find these kinds
of casseroles work best with my home made bread (something other that
the super soft supermarket bread) And it is definitely better to let
it sit in the refrigerator overnight. We eat ours as a dinner dish. I
add broccoli or spinach, mushrooms and onions as well as the sausage.
Just cook the veggies and sausage first.

Thanks, yes I had thought to make it for dinner)

Oh, you add the cooked veggies before it is cooked too??
