What about goose - I heard that the fat is also apparently one of the healthiest varieties available
Or a salmon dish maybe?
Whatever you have, enjoy and I hope all goes to plan!!

Lasagna sounds wonderful! Very filling and family-dinner-ish.
One meal I like to make for family and friends that everyone seems to agree on is make-your-own tacos. Which is great because all the fixings can be prepared the day before. Chop up everything you can think of that could possibly go on a taco along with meat and beans, guacamole, sour cream, taco sauce and salsa and put it all out buffet style for people to put together their own plates. Or even taco salads if they prefer. You can also throw in flour tortillas for burrito lovers. (If people are hanging around for awhile afterwards a bottle of Beano would probably be a good investment too)
Great, it's 1am here and now I'm hungry...

How popular is buffalo meat over there in the Americas? I read this the other day -
Buffalo Meat is Extremely Healthy!Buffalo meat is naturally flavorful and healthy, in fact if you didn't know, you would think you were eating the most flavorful Beef steak or burger you have ever had. It's hard to believe, but Buffalo has less fat than Turkey and even Chicken with the skin removed. Buffalo are handled very little, this enhances the quality of the meat. They spend their lives grazing on natural grasses (just as they always have). There are never Antibiotics, Steroids or Growth Hormones used in the Buffalo industry. There has never been an allergic reaction to Buffalo meat because of the natural way the animals are handled and fed. People who can not eat other red meat normally have no problem with Buffalo or Elk meat. Why not try for yourself and begin realizing the fantastic benefits of Buffalo and Elk for yourself.

Every culture is different. My German family always served goose, but I can't stand it. My husband's family prefers turkey or ham. Lasagna sounds good.

Depending on how well the year went and number of guests my mom would sometimes serve a prime rib, or pork tenderloin, a rare beef roast, or both beef & pork roast together makes a good gravy. Twice baked potatoes can be made and frozen if you want an easy side dish or leave that to the guests. Another idea would be to make it later in the afternoon or eve and serve all appetizers and finger foods. Merry Christmas!

My mom hates to make turkey so we get all kinds of interesting items. Lately,her favourite is Beef Wellington (beef wrapped in pate and pastry served with gravy and mushrooms, roast potatoes or mashed....yum! She will also do a chicken dish, curried chicked with rice or chicken in a white sauce served with rice or voll-au-vent cases...then my sister in law is a gourmet cook, so she has served delicious salads and potato dishes. One year she made a pumpkin soup (roasted with garlic and onions, it was delicious) served with cream...We had chinese one year from a place that came to your driveway and cooked there: "Wok on Wheels". Talk about fresh and delicious, but also very pricey! So there are lots of ideas out there, but my farm raised husband still looks forward to a turkey dinner--we have had 4 already with 2 more to go!
But apart from the food, we focus on family and faith, and the "reason for the season". Good times and wonderful memories I wish these for you who are starting new traditions outside of the WT.
Happy cooking and warm dishes,

Thanks everyone!
Lots of good ideas out there. I like the sound of fill it yourself tacos. A lot less work!
For the person asking about a sauce for Ham. I usually serve a cherry sauce, you can make it as sweet or tart as you want. Or you can buy ham "base" at the store and make a gravy out of that.

Ham: can be also be served with a sweet pineapple sauce, white milk gravy with pepper (good with biscuits and mashed potatoes) or a sweet honey mustard sauce.
