Christmas Dinner Ideas

Christmas is a holiday that is celebrated by Christians around the world on December 25th to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time of joy, celebration, and coming together with family and friends. Many people observe Christmas by participating in religious services, decorating their homes and workplaces with Christmas trees and other decorations, exchanging gifts, and participating in other festive activities.

In many parts of the world, Christmas is also associated with the cultural traditions of the winter season, such as caroling, making gingerbread houses, and enjoying festive meals. The holiday has also become a time for charitable giving and helping those in need.

Overall, Christmas is a special time of year because it brings people together and helps to spread joy and cheer during the winter season. It is a time for people to reflect on the year that has passed and to look forward to the year ahead.




Christmas Dinner Ideas


Here are a few ideas for dishes that you might consider serving at your Christmas dinner:

  1. Roast turkey: A traditional choice for many people, roast turkey is a delicious and festive main course. You can roast it in the oven or on the grill.

  2. Beef tenderloin: For a more elegant and upscale main course, you might consider serving beef tenderloin. It is a flavorful and tender cut of meat that is sure to impress your guests.

  3. Ham: Ham is another popular choice for Christmas dinner. You can either purchase a pre-cooked ham and simply warm it up, or you can make your own by baking a fresh ham in the oven.

  4. Vegetarian main course: If you have vegetarian guests, you might consider preparing a vegetarian main course such as a roast vegetable tart, a veggie lasagna, or a vegan pot pie.

  5. Side dishes: Some classic side dishes to serve with your main course might include roast potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and vegetables such as roast carrots, green beans, or Brussels sprouts.

  6. Dessert: For a sweet finish to your meal, you might consider making a traditional Christmas dessert such as fruitcake, mince pies, or a Christmas pudding. Or, you could opt for something lighter and fresher, like a fruit platter or a sorbet.

Santa Tracker 2011: Now on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and the iPhone



Santa Tracker has been a NORAD tradition since 1955. The tradition started in 1995, the year when a  Colorado Springs newspaper ad invited kids to call Santa on a hotline, only problem was that the number had a mistake, and many kids ended up talking to the Continental Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD's predecessor. It is now a deep rooted tradition in NORAD - a joint US and Canada command center that monitors the northern skies and seas. 


So if you want to track Santa you can still call in or make use of social media and track him on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, iPhoneAndroid Phones, Google Maps for Mobile or the web. NORAD has offered a lot of support and kids can call in or follow their favorite updates from Santa. The good folks over at NORAD say that a lot of funny requests come in and also a lot of heart-wrenching ones. Like 'heal my brother of Cancer'. Seems kids really want and expect help from Santa and are appealing to higher powers.
