What's your Christmas speciality?

Is there something you make every Christmas? Something people request or expect you to make? A side dish, dessert, drink, etc.

Share your recipes!!

I have a few, but the most requested is my onion sauce and chocolate log! Homemade of course.

My uncle will only eat my Deviled Eggs so I end up making those too. I don't really have a recipe for those though. Just eyeball everything and taste often.

I also make a dessert but I like to make something we haven't had before. I leave the pies (and traditional goodies) to my Grandma because it wouldn't be Christmas without those!!

For christmas breakfast, I'm making a baked omellete, and one of the side dishes I make everyear to go with our dinner is homemade macaroni and cheese. it was my husband's mothers recipe, and my husband said I make it just as good as his mother. NOW, THATS A COMPLIMENT!

WE'll be getting together with my husband's family on Dec 22nd for their family christmas party. I called my sister in law today to find out what I could bring. She wants me to being dessert, so I'm making a carrot cake. I have a great recipe from scratch, and it's so moist. I'm putting cream cheese frosting on top too. My husband LOVES this cake, he's so glad thats what I'm bringing.
