Growing up my family would make the same meals for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. It was Baked Turkey, Ham, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, Brown N Serve rolls and green bean casserole. I always said, "didn't we just have all that?" For the last 20 years I've made it a point to not do that....at all. Christmas is now a free spirit when it comes to meal choices. We've had Cajun boil'em and eat'em shrimp, BBQ of all types, lasagna, venison, hog, Mexican theme's. Last year my Brother boiled some crawfish.
I challenge you to try something different this year. It may mean that you will be bucking a tradition and cause a fight. Sometimes good things are worth fighting for. If you aren't hosting the Christmas meal, show up with a smoked brisket or a rack of lamb and see what happens.
...will you take the challenge???
