The holiday season is just half over and we still have good ol jolly St. Nick to celebrate on December 25th. I’m not sure how your Christmas dinners go, but for my family it is like Thanksgiving dinner again. We pretty much have the same food on Christmas Day, as the food we ate on Thanksgiving Day. Our two main things we had for Thanksgiving dinner was the turkey and the ham. We will eat ham and turkey again on Christmas. We also had soup beans, fried okra, green beans, biscuits, and a few desserts to choose from. I assume we will eat these same things again on Christmas too. We did have dressing last week and not sure we will prepare dressing with giblet gravy again. I know my belly is still full from the last big holiday meal and it may take until Christmas Day before I am hungry again. I’m not sure the best weight loss pills or best exercise routines could keep us from gaining weight this time of the year. There is just too much good food around and no one should be on a diet during the holidays. Save your dieting plans for your New Year’s Resolution on January 1st and eat all the good food that is available now. We only live once and everyone should enjoy a couple of big meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Feel free to share your dinner plans on Christmas Day and give me a rough idea of what the menu might look like in your household this year. If you have any special Christmas dishes that you like to prepare; then I would love to get the recipe for it. Leave a reply with recipes, menus, or your dinner plans for Christmas day. I might just have to tweak our family’s dinner this year!
