From what I see on line, Red cabbage, parsnips and roasted potatoes. Nothing wrong with any of those things, but they don't exactly scream holiday. I normally make ham with scalloped potatoes, and I...

Thank you. I already do my green beans like that, so that's one thing I know will work. I can't see there being drippings for gravy if I get the pre-roasted goose, but their website has a recipe for...

Thank you so much! The one friend who is convinced he won't like it, always goes for the turkey legs. Hopefully I can convince him to give it a try. My other concern (not the best word to use. It's...

How would you describe the taste? Does it taste like a cross between duck and chicken?

Well if I resurrect my dinner and a movie idea, and I'm feeling flush with cash, I might try it and show Scrooge.
While I don't mind spending that kind of money for the actual Christmas dinner, it...

No, but I still like the idea. I really wish I could come up with one for Christmas vacation.
Obviously I wouldn't serve dried out turkey.

I got a couple of Christmas table runners. One is black and silver. It will be interesting to see what I can put with it, since it doesn't really go with much that I own. I just liked it, and it was...

I didn't do any decorating this year except the wreath on the door, but I did pick up some clearance things. I purchased a couple of tablecloths, a couple of table runners, and some floral picks to...

I liked it when I visited it. We'll see what the future holds.

I purchased some Christmas floral picks on sale, that I plan to turn in to napkin rings. I'm not a craft person, so this should be interesting.

Snowflake place card holders and salt and pepper shakers.

I'm glad to see this brought back up. Since my original post, I have collected a fair number of tablecloths, napkin rings, salt and pepper shakers etc. Since my number of guests varies from year to...

I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of the old traditional stuff return. People are really feeling nostalgic for what we once took for granted.

So what premade products do you use or doctor up during the holidays?
For example I found the (apparently discontinued :sad elf: ) Pillsbury gingerbread dough in the refrigerator case, made better...

It wasn't meant to be.

I was supposed to move to Dallas, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen anymore.

I love all of it, but my favorite is your Christmas city ( It's way more than a village!)!

I have packed up a lot of things in anticipation of moving, and I won't be having anyone over.

I purchased a Christmas coloring book to go with the ornament and calendar. I didn't really like the style of the pictures, but it was literally the only one I found. I also bought a new home...

Good to see you back Mike.
I won't be putting anything up this year, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's decorations.

Thanks. I found one today at World Market.

Please do post. I would love to see your table. I really wish now that I had remembered to take pictures (and better pictures) more than just a few years.

Looking forward to it Papa!

I miss the way things used to be too. I often wonder what happened to some of our old posters. Christmas mama, and Merry Christmas Darling are two that were active here that come to mind, but there...

Every year I get my friends little boy an advent calendar and an ornament, to help him kick off the season. Today I bought him the Spider-Man ornament from Hallmark. The only place I've seen...
