But we have out regulars like ham, turkey and all of the fixings, coconut cake, jello salads. We lost our mom in 2010 so we miss her green beans, special recipe mac and cheese, mac salad, and her yummy dressing. <br /><br />This is a wonderful giveaway Maratha. And I had the honor of reading Christmas at Holly Hill and it is wonderful! I love it! I am keeping it to read<br /> again next christmas!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />Joy Hannabass<br />ibjoy1953@yahoo(dot)comJoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24624222.post-73878919291918845802012-12-08T15:34:04.483-06:002012-12-08T15:34:04.483-06:00We do a Christmas Tea but the children serve the t...We do a Christmas Tea but the children serve the tea and the meal to all of us parents. They have worked very hard to make the project that grandma has them making for the moms... They serve different things each year.

Dessert is always something light and fluffy - actually named Lemon Fluff - family recipe - and cookies. This is served after attending the earlier Christmas Eve service at our church. After supper is our major gift exchange. Christmas Day is something else altogether, but a much quieter and relaxed day to think on the true meaning of Christmas. We have cut down on extravagant gift giving, since it is not our birthday - but the birthday of our savior, and we trust on the talents and ideas given us to make and give our gifts. I won't even go into the Christmas Day menu....but it is delicious. LOL<br /><br />Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.<br /><br />Barb Shelton<br />barbjan10 at tx dot rr dot comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882288703593261021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24624222.post-90533878875042856632012-12-05T09:51:19.267-06:002012-12-05T09:51:19.267-06:00My favorite Christmas Dinner would be Cashew Chick...My favorite Christmas Dinner would be Cashew Chicken!

The bottom layer is lime with pineapple pieces, the middle is a mixture of cream cheese, whipped cream and mini-marshmallows, and the top is strawberry or cherry jello spooned on when almost set. It's a family favorite!Linda Kozarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372159327036786444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24624222.post-17959131578718528302012-12-03T12:51:11.327-06:002012-12-03T12:51:11.327-06:00My favorite Christmas food item is Noder (a Scanda...My favorite Christmas food item is Noder (a Scandanavian bread-like cookie) that my Great Grandma used to make before she died this fall. Her recipe was passed down from her Grandmother in the 1800's and I now have a copy so the tradition can continue...

Some of my favorites on the menu are her homemade mac-n-cheese, lunchmeat on Hawaiian rolls, taco dip, a raspberry/strawberry cream cheese jello, and she always ends it with peppermint ice cream slathered in hot fudge. She does a sit down dinner before we open presents. <br /><br />My mom always has the tradition of homemade sticky rolls and other finger foods. My mom just has the food out and people can eat or not eat as we open gifts. <br /><br />Both are very different; both hold very special memories for me. <br /><br />Thank you for this chance to win. <br /><br />clSwalwell@gmail.com<br /><br />In Him, <br /><br />Cheri :) Cheri S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01623139268263437777noreply@blogger.com
