[@randih3688]

My family always does either a roast or prime rib for Christmas. A turkey or ham for Thanksgiving. We like switching it up from time to time but it always seems to be light meat for Thanksgiving and some sort of beef for Christmas!😂

[@Kim-427]

They played our Christmas down. It’s much more than what they said. We even do Christmas Eve big in America as well as Christmas.

[@kathyazzari839]

Yes for prime rib. It was ham on Christmas Eve and turkey on Christmas day growing up. But when it was my turn I nixed turkey for Christmas and switched to prime rib.

[@julcarre383]

My family does something different almost every year. Last year we did lamb, and the year before that we either had a roast or turducken (I don't remember which year that was)

This was lasagna for Christmas eve, ham for Christmas day and we're planning grilled steaks and shrimp for New Years eve. My neighbor had Chinese food for Christmas. Food choices vary even in the family let alone the state. Mix it up ! Sister did pulled pork and bbq

[@speppers69]

@kathybouziane5269 Mmmmmm...BBQ...😋😋😋 I did pizza lasagna the week before Christmas. It's lasagna but made without ricotta using mozzarella, provolone, Asiago, Romano, parmesan and a tiny bit of cheddar. Then in the layers...layer in pizza toppings like ground beef, sausage, mushrooms, canadian bacon, green pepper, olives, onion, salami...and/or whatever pizza toppings you prefer. It's pretty awesome.

My mom used to do the whole thanksgiving turkey dinner on Christmas also. She made so many dishes that the cleanup took forever! After the family started growing she was like the heck with that and switched to ham. Each of us would bring cold sides (pasta salad, potato salad, etc) and there wasn’t a sit down dinner. When someone got hungry they’d go to the fridge and make a plate. Man, I miss my mom so much during the holidays ❤

[@adrianslonaker2554]

Merry Christmas everyone! Americans are definitely often into Christmas cookies, but one significant part of this custom is the Christmas cookie swap where you bake a large number of cookies (sometimes different kinds of cookies), to eat at home and also to give to family members, friends and neighbors. In return, the family members, friends and neighbors give you tins of their own homemade cookies. It's a really warm, nice-spirited part of the Christmas season.

Turkey is for Thanksgiving. Oyster Stew for Christmas Eve.. Ham with scalloped potatoes or Prime Rib with baked potato for Christmas. New Year's Eve is dinner out usually large scallops or lobster, maybe surf and turf or rib eye steaks. And after dinner Grandma's favorite, a refreshing grasshopper followed by dancing to a fun band.

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

3:51 hilarious the two dinner differences. Id say if you want a home cook meal and a turkey that looks just like the photo i can cook it.

[@sharonmulloy2181]

How do you cook brussel sprouts? I hate them boiled. They are great roasted with garlic until crispy. However, for Christmas we do the Feast of 7 Fishes (BIL is Italian American). We don't do Christmas day anymore, but we used to do ham, but have done Lasagna, prime rib, or just leftovers and treats

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

@sharonmulloy2181 I usually toss them with some olive oil, seasoning and roast them. I do like them raw, I steam them in the microwave sometimes. Steaming is the healthier option (more nutrients) but I've never boiled them. Not sure if I would like them soggy.

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

@sharonmulloy2181 prime rib is my favorite I love getting a full roast and making my own cuts. Never heard of the feast of 7 fishes. I'll look it up sounds fascinating.

[@Mindspasm]

People often think that Americans don't have advent calendars or Christmas crackers. We've had both. Christmas crackers just didn't really stick and become popular with people. We have a variety of advent calendars. Coffee, beer, wine, whiskey, makeup, gel nails etc. It's just not mandatory in every home. You do it if you feel like it

[@raudypena1976]

[@revgurley]

Cards are big with extended family and distant friends that you wouldn't see on Christmas. Often, there is a letter inside with all the positives and negatives of the previous year, just to keep you updated ("son graduated high school!" or "Uncle Joe was diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment so please keep him in your prayers"). A more current type of card isn't the usual "Winter scene" card with a blank interior for writing. Instead, families take a Christmas Picture earlier in the year, and send out a post card with the picture of the family on one side, and a little note on the other.

[@christystaples8271]

Hello! I live in Northern California in a small mountain town called Cool. Christmas was yesterday, but we have some kids here in California and some in Oregon and 1 in Iowa (mid west). So we are celebrating Christmas here with our kids in mid January. Some had to work today, so Jan is easier. We will have Ribeye roast (prime rib), mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, some kind of vegetables like broccoli or green beans, and corn. I will make strawberry, blueberry, and cherry pies. But, December 25th is also our youngest daughter’s birthday. So, yesterday was all about her. She wanted ribeye steak 🥩, stir fry broccoli 🥦, shrimp 🍤 cocktails, dirty red garlic mashed potatoes, crab 🦀, and birthday cake. There was also a banana cream pie and a razzleberry ( raspberry, blueberry and sometimes blackberry) pie, but we were too full! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

[@jacquelinejohnson9447]

In the 1800s, and maybe earlier, Merry was a term for drinking and getting tipsy or drunk, especially in reference to the Christmas season. In an effort to discourage holiday drinking and drunkenness, the religious communities encouraged the use of Happy in place of Merry in an effort to encourage people to think of Jesus as opposed to a time to get drunk. The change stuck in England but was never adopted in the US. I dont know if it succeeded in limiting the amount of alcohol consumption during the holidays or not. Just some useless trivia for those interested. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May this holiday season and new year be a blessed one for all.😊❤🎉 much love from East Tennessee USA

Growing up in my family Christmas location varied because we often lived 6hrs+ drive from our extended family so we swapped whose houses we went to for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But we did the same traditions on Christmas either way. Christmas Eve was more like small appetizers and finger foods. Open 1 present, nothing big. Christmas morning we woke up and got our stockings which were full of little trinkets, small gifts loke nail polish, chapstick, whatever, and lots of candy but we weren't allowed to have candy until after breakfast. So then we'd have breakfast, hashbrown casserole and orange cinnamon rolls. Then it was time to open our actual presents.

Hey. You gotta see how people here in the US decorate their homes with the lights and set them to music. I think you did the ones from Halloween. The ones where the people go crazy with the outdoor decorations and set them to the music. Gotta see the ones who do it for Christmas. Just as well done as the ones for Halloween. It's insane.

No, while I'm sure it happens in some homes, Christmas Crackers are not a thing in the US. Cards in the US can vary in price for sure but you can get an inexpensive box of Christmas cards for $3 for a box of 30. Other single cards can be as cheap as $1. Postage in the US keeps going up so that deters some people from sending cards. I didn't send any this year or last year but I will for next year. Merry Christmas, Lewis! I hope you and your family have a fabulous day!!

Merry Christmas everyone and to Lewis and your Mum from NY🎄🙂 I usually make Chicken Parm for Christmas Eve which I have today and Christmas Day my sister makes either Turkey or for this year prime Rib. Hope you all enjoy your holiday dinners 😁
