[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 4183930, member: 41777"] I'll play....but it's not "Christmas dinner" per se. Christmas Eve with the in-laws will be a Mexican fiesta. Tamales, enchiladas, posole, beans, rice, tortillas, hotter-than-Hades salsa and flan for dessert! I just LOVE the Mexican tradition there and while this is a sexist comment for Americans, the men aren't allowed in the kitchen and get served by the women. Their tradition not ours! First year I did what I was raised doing, take your plate into the kitchen to be washed. Got 1 step into the kitchen and was met by 2 matriarchs of the family explaining to just leave the plate on the table when finished but that I hadn't eaten enough yet so go sit back down. Brought me out another plate of tamales, etc....which I gladly ate and never attempted to cross that line ever again! Christmas morning is eggs benedict with mimosas. Christmas "dinner" will be with relatives in Edmond so unsure what is being served. [/QUOTE]
