My Old Fashioned Christmas Dinner with Dishes from the Early 1900’s

I found a Christmas Dinner Menu in my grandmother's 1940's cookbook that inspired me to prepare an entire meal with dishes from that era. I did a lot of internet searching and learned some very interesting information about what people ate and what Christmas was like. So, in this video I want to share with you what I learned and the dishes I prepared. I had a wonderful time cooking this special Old Fashioned Christmas Dinner and I hope you will enjoy watching.

I enjoyed the video as well! When I was a kid growing up in Michigan, we always decorated the tree on Christmas Eve! I had 4 siblings so all of us including our parents would decorate the tree together & sing Christmas carols. Afterwards, siblings & I would go down to the basement and have our "Christmas Club" meeting (only met once a year on Christmas Eve no parents allowed lol), followed by my father reading "The Night Before Christmas". To this day I have such wonderful memories of childhood Christmases.

Well done, you. It's mid-September and I am already planning my holiday meals - all of which will reflect past celebrations but minus the drama.

[@ladynutcracker5786]

A very nice video 😍😍😍😍.......

[@barbarasue7191]

Kristi, I watch all your current videos so now watching older ones. I love your Christmas (all holidays) traditions. I've cooked duck but never goose. After watching this video I'd love to cook a goose. At my home. I love how you bring tradition from your Family into your recipes. Mostly, I love how you insert Jesus our Lord and God our Master into your videos. Thank you for this blessed Christmas video. The labor of your hands is truly blessed.

Cholesterol is NOT a problem to eat.. that has been completely changed by good research. So dont worry about it any more. ( On a personal note, fat is what gives the good taste, so dont be overly eager to remove too much of it, its not bad for you ....unless you eat pounds of it ofc..

[@lidiavivar7643]

The goose reminds me to Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens movie.

[@sharonsaber223]

Wonderful video! The meal and table setting, second to none!

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

Thank you so much! 😊

I have the same furniture. It's Pennsylvania House and the dishes I have are fiesta ware. Also by Homer Laughlin.

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

I love having my grandmother’s furniture and dishes. So special! It’s nice to know there’s more like them out there. 😊

[@charleneeisnerschulten7534]

I was a child in the late seventies and early eighties. My childhood Christmas gifts were the same as what you described as being given in the 1940s.

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

Sometimes I wish Christmas was like it was back then. Thanks for watching!

[@joanlistol5412]

Thank you for your Christmas show. I really enjoyed it.

[@cheayunju]

My dishes available here down in South Texas are about 4 gens deep. But not the prettiest. Thus we got new place mats and overall settings for 2021. All up to date

[@cathyburns750]

Wonderful video however I was so disappointed that you didn't carve and taste the goose!Everything else was great! Merry Christmas!

[@Dj-ws9rj]

My Grandma would cook a goose @ christmas, it is delicious perfect for Christmas!! Potatoes cooked in goose fat are the best so good 🥰 that dressing looks delicious I will definitely try that dressing...

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

It was a first for us having a goose for Christmas but definitely not the last. We loved it! Thanks for watching!

The women back then gathered in kitchen helping each other cook

[@monicahamm3353]

ugh. the reason people back when did not put their tree up or decorate for Christmas until Christmas Eve was because people back knew and understood that the 12 days of Christmas STARTS 12/25 and goes through the Epiphany on 1/6....... the time before Christmas was ADVENT, a time of fasting and abstinence in preparation for Christmas........ Our modern, commercialized, materialistic post-Christian world has deleted Advent and now celebrates a Holiday Season from Thanksgiving through Christmas Day..... and throws out that old, dead tired tree and packs up the Holiday decor on 12/26, so that Christmas is now celebrated as the last day of the Holiday Season, rather than the first day of the Twelve days of Christmas. Sad.

Agreed! People don't celebrate Christmas the way they used to, it's completely lost its true meaning.

I've never tried goose, always afraid to try it. Being you called it a "bad boy" I'm going to try!! Love your "real" expressions... he's even a sucker!! Enjoyed! It looked delicious! My mom, who's 94, loved the dishes, too.

[@Laura55sere]

I bought a goose for Christmas dinner only once, thought it’d make a nice change. Boy was I wrong, nicely cooked went to carve it and hit ‘bone’ , the look on my face as my daughter came in the kitchen, what’s wrong she said, there’s no breast meat I said , thought for a moment I had it upside down. It had to feed eight people, so my advice to you would be don’t buy goose if you want leftovers they’ll be none! Don’t take my word for it Delia Smith says that as well.

[@trulyyours5918]

My grandmothers were born in the 1800s. I wonder what Christmas was like then. Your dinner looks delicious.

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

I wonder that too! Thank you for watching!

[@adrianfong2969]

I think you’re more of a home cook than a chef. Your techniques and language is more aligned to my mother or grandmother cooking in the kitchen. You can’t even chop safely.

Strange, when we celebrate something we kill animals. And then we say, in this case, Happy Christmas.

Love roast goose it's one of the only meats that still has good flavour as they don't mess with it and goose fat potatoes 👏 so good.

[@arnaudb3784]

In France , for the Christmas Dinner , we usually eat smashed potatoes with Knackis Hertas sausages.

Oh that sounds delicious! I love learning about what people all over the world make for Christmas dinner. Thank you for sharing!
