Christmas
is
the
Time
for
the
Family
to
Gather
Round
the
Dinner
Table
As
the
holiday
season
gets
ever
closer,
it
is
getting
to
the
point
where
you
need
to
start
thinking
about
meals,
planning
and
recipes.
The
first
few
weeks
of
November
always
see
families
across
America
start
planning
their
roasts
and
coming
up
with
new
and
exciting
ideas
for
starters
and
desserts.
Tradition
vs.
New
Ideas
This
list
for
main
courses
throughout
the
holiday
season
always
contain
Turkeys
and
Hams,
Roast
beef
or
lamb.
Which
meat
is
chosen
generally
depends
on
what
your
family
prefers.
Christmas
recipes
are
usually
handed
down
through
generations
of
a
family
which
means
that
trying
something
new
is
virtually
a
crime.
It
is
usual
for
the
oldest
member
of
the
family
to
be
responsible
for
the
holiday
dinner
–
the
matriarch
of
the
family.
She
usually
creates
the
menu,
hands
out
responsibility
for
side
dishes
and
chooses
which
recipes
will
be
used.
It
is
not
an
easy
job,
but
most
women
have
spent
years
being
prepared
for
the
role.
Choices,
Choices,
Choices.
Which
Desert?
Recipes
for
cakes
and
cookies
are
often
family
secrets
and
are
kept
quiet
to
prevent
family
feuds.
If
you
want
to
create
something
new
for
desert,
it
is
an
idea
to
modify
existing
recipes
to
see
how
they
work
out,
rather
than
trying
to
start
something
new
completely
from
scratch.
It
is
also
an
idea
to
still
serve
traditional
desserts
to
make
sure
that
no
one
is
offended.
The
Family
will
always
Show
up
Regardless
of
What
You
Serve
up
Christmas
recipes
are
tradition
in
many
families
and
have
a
long
history
dating
back
generations.
However,
with
every
new
generation,
they
are
modified
to
keep
in
with
the
times.
In
today’s
world,
we
have
become
a
lot
more
health
conscious
so
out
with
the
lard
and
in
with
the
olive
oil.
As
long
as
you
keep
a
copy
of
the
original
recipe
for
memorabilia,
there
isn’t
any
harm
in
adjusting
a
recipe.
Many
recipes
have
been
hand
written
by
grandmothers
and
great-grandmothers
so
have
a
lot
of
sentimental
value
and
become
something
of
family
heirlooms.
These
should
be
kept
safe
to
pass
onto
your
children
when
they
are
old
enough
to
appreciate
it
–
the
same
with
your
adapted
version.
There
is
a
lot
of
love
that
goes
into
Christmas
recipes
–
which
is
even
more
important
than
the
recipe
themselves.
Remember
this
as
you
are
scrawling
your
adapted
version
on
a
scrap
of
paper.
