What food do you guys usually eat during Christmas?
 
We never have a set menu for Christmas. It's kind of different every year.

One thing we DO have every year, though, is this REALLY tasty... cinnamon bun thing? They aren't actual cinnamon buns but a glazes log of baked dough just smothered in cinnamon and sugar. XD I can't describe it; I'll have to ask mom exactly what it is. But it's just... omg. So good. I look forward to THAT more than I do the whole present thing. It's my reason for waking up on Christmas morning. ;P

Not much. I don't have much of an idea what I'm getting since I don't think my list is "interesting" enough to my family so they'll probably stray from it and get other things. 8|

Sorry. XD If it helps, I'm starving now because of typing that up.

Christmas Eve and Good Friday are my favourite days for food. XD I look forward to them. We get together with my mom's side of the family and have nothing but seafood. In the last...five years or so we've altered it so it's a little less formal and more fun. We're over for the whole day, so recently we've been doing a buffet for lunch/appetizers. Every one makes something or brings something and we set it out for people to walk to with a plate. You can eat and walk around and talk. That mostly consists of little pastry appetizers, shell fish, bread, cheese, and sushi. Then after that is the sit-down dinner. That's focused on larger fish and shellfish dishes, plus side and stuff. Plus a pasta or rice dish. Gotta be careful with your portions and pacing. XD You can fill yourself up for a week.

Christmas Day doesn't have any seafood. We get turkey, ham, pasta, and the appropriate sides.

Under the tree is normally just stuff from my wish list. What from it and how much of it I don't know. That makes it fun. It's the stocking area where I get more original gifts that stray from my list - movies, books, little nicknacks. I like that part because I'm not expecting any of it.

On Christmas Eve we usually have a little buffet for dinner instead of a proper meal. We jsut help ourselves to the usual assortment of finger foods and dips.

Christmas Day we have my mum's side of the family round. My grandmother, my aunt and her partner all come round and we have the usual - roast turkey with all the trimmings. Roast potatoes, loads of vegetables (including the legendary red cabbage - it's the only time of the year we ever have it, but I love it), stuffing, cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon, and gravy, of course. Then, a good ol' Christmas pudding as made by my grandmother, smothered in brandy and served with clotted cream.

On Boxing Day we would probably have used up whatever turkey was left in sandwiches or a curry, but given I have a football match to go to I'll probably have my usual pre-match meal - a traditional Cornish pasty.

New Year's Eve, my brother and I go to my grandmother's house while my parents are out on the piss, where we usually have another buffet dinner. We stay up until midnight, watch the countdown, then watch whichever 1980s/1990s movie they show afterwards. xD
 
I mostly eat lots of chocolate, but at christmas eve we eat normal stuff, and the big christmas meal is always one day after christmas eve. in germany u get the presents at the 24th in the evening, so we do not cook that much , because there wouldnt be time for the gifts then. =D

Same sort of thing that's made for me every Sunday, except it's made by my grandmother. That's namely chicken, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. ( ﾟ ヮﾟ)

CDs, CoD5 on PC, and I've made an explicit demand for a sizeable quantity of chocolate coins.
I don't actually celebrate Christmas but if people want to get me stuff I may as well tell them what to get...

I second that, and it's the first time I've realized it. I wonder why...

It started as Yule amongst Germanic pagans; put simply, Germany is not a fishing country.

I eat a lot cookies. Not to mention things like ham, mashed potatoes, corn, ect. Basically a Thanksgiving but with ham. x3

I expect to get a laptop. Because my parents said they sold their old one on eBay but I looked and they did not. Then I heard them say "Steve (something) laptop (something) Christmas." But I am not putting my hopes on it because then I will be disappointed. I already have a computer. :3

Christmas food for me are tamales (chicken, beef, or beans) and sweet breads. Perhaps some mashed potatoes as well just because I really like that too. Chicken and turkey are also highly probably.

I know what I'm getting for Christmas. Some games, a book, and some clothing. They're nice presents, but knowing what it is takes the surprise out. I guess there's just too many things these days for people to figure out what another would like.
