What style of dinner do you have on Christmas?

On christmas eve, since I am usually by myself on this holiday, I would have chips and dips all day and watch movies then on christmas day cook a big thick, juicy t-bone stake, baked potato and salad.  But this year I am going to have to figure out something else to do on christmas eve because I am on a low-fat diet and have lost 70 or so lbs. and not supposed to have anything fried or with dairy products in it.

Hmm...\n\nYou can bring a nice bottle of wine or sparkling cider, a nice centerpiece, or a bouquet of flowers. Or, you can bring some gourmet coffee for after dinner (with either liqueur or flavored syrup!) to go with the pie. \n\nYou can also offer to make part of the dinner (if you're comfortable with that!).\n\nDon't forget to offer to help wash dishes after dinner. :) :) \n\nGood luck!

I'm hosting too.  Here's a list of what will be on the menu:\n\nTurkey\nStuffing\nMashed Potatoes\nGravy\nRolls\nCorn\nMy wife's famous baked broccoli/cauliflower casserole\nCandied yams (sweet potatoes)\nCranberry sauce\nPumpkin pie\nApple pie\n\nOK, so it's very traditional and pretty boring, but hey...it only comes once a year and my family likes the traditional dinner, so it works for us

Me, I'm cooking a turkey, leg o' Lamb, salads, hor d'orves, potatoes, and all that goes with.  I'm cleaning the house from top to bottom and will serve 11 people at my house and will probably stay up late to clean up.  On Friday I will deal with the leftovers and clean the bathrooms after everyone, plus the floors and anything else that needs attention.  On Saturday I will not have any leftovers left so I'll be cooking again.  Sunday.......ahhh I'll go the church.

We have dinner at my parents but contribute plenty to the menu so about 2-3 weeks before I look at recipes to see if there is anything new I want to make.\nI'll do my grocery shopping this week.  Last week we ordered the ham.\nI'm sitting down tomorrow to look through my Christmas candy and cookie recipes  :)  I bake a ton at during the holidays.

My favorite Christmas dish isn't really a dish but more of a meatless feast.  On Christmas Eve in order to purify the body in preparation for the birth of Christ my family has a Feast of the Seven Fishes or La Vigilia de Natale.  It's an Italian American tradition of eating 7 different seafood dishes.  I know most people consider fish a meat, but it's more of a traditional belief thing.  We have everything from Calamari to Baccala.  All absolutely delicious!!

Try getting a sampler plate of traditional greek and turkish food (both are fairly similar with key differences)  Ask the resteraunt if you can order a little of everything.  They should be able to cut you a deal.  Particularly cool if you want to do it in traditional greek style and rather then have it plated for you you have it all laid in serving dishes on the table and pass it around thanksgiving style.  This encourages communication and socialization in a time that, in American tradition, is normally kinda quiet.
