Holly Jolly Bingo ~ Day 6

We've come to the end of the first week of bingo! Today I'm giving you a few bonus words, in addition to the normal 15. I won't be posting tomorrow, but I'll see you back here first thing Monday morning!

Extra words for the weekend!

I'm going to post about the FOOD of Christmas today! Yum! Every family seems to have their signature, traditional dishes that it wouldn't be the same if you didn't make them. What would that be for your family?

We always have our main big Christmas meal on Christmas Eve. One of our very favorites is San Francisco Chicken...it's so yummy! When my great-aunt was still alive, she would always bring her cream cheese cupcakes for the dessert, so they exude "Christmas-ness" to me as well.

Christmas Day the lunch meal consists of many different finger foods/appetizer type things. We usually always have a veggie tray, cheese and crackers, white beans, and a few other staples, but we also like to try new foods, too. Christmas breakfast is sausage biscuits and/or orange danish rolls, at least for the people who like those items.

OK, I'm getting hungry now...

The San Francisco Chicken recipe does sound good. I'll have to give that a try. Usually I think of Christmas foods like homemade turtles, fudge with black walnuts and other sweets come to mind. o.O I know, I'm bad.

Our tradition is rock Cornish game hens stuffed with wild rice. I first tasted them at the King's Arms in Williamsburg while on our honeymoon many, many years ago. We've been eating them every Christmas ever since.
The chicken recipe sounds great.

I do things different every year.Sometimes we have Chinese food on Christmas eve,Pizza,Pork pie or grill steaks.

Christmas breakfast has been waffles,cranberry bread or cinnamon rolls.

Dinner has been ham,roast,macaroni and cheese-when Allison was a toddler she picked it but we added a meat, duck or shrimp.

Oh, man, the Hammonds are killing. I was so hoping to be an annual winner! They must be stopped!

Sarah, would you mind looking @ my list, and, ahem, "planning" accordingly? Wink, wink. Thanks a bunch.

Christmas morning we have hash brown casserole, baked egg casserole, Bethany's traditional cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit, tea, coffee, orange juice, eggnog.

Christmas afternoon we eat leftovers from the night before.

Boxing Day, typically a pot-blessing kind of meal with extended family.
