Blogmas Day 5 - Favorite Christmas Food

Honestly, I'm not sure if there is any particular food that I look forward to the most when it comes to Christmas.  As a child we used to go to my grandparents' house for Christmas Eve dinner and they would have a turkey among so many other things to eat.  In recent years we've always had ham; whether we make it here at home or we go to the in-laws for Christmas Day dinner.  Then there are the sides of potatoes, veggies, biscuits and whatever else is decided on.  Then there is dessert.  My sister-in-law makes a dump cake, which I haven't tried.  My husband loves it and begs me to try it but excuse me, I just can't get myself to consume anything named DUMP cake ... lol.  I usually make a chocolate cake and a few years ago my son suggested we turn it into a birthday cake for Jesus so I always make a cake that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS. 

I do make a batch of sugar cookies and use my Christmas shaped cookie cutters.  I'll hold off on that recipe until it's time for the Christmas cookie post.  :-)

I can't wait to read what everyone else eats for Christmas.

  1. Oh my, try the dump cake this year. I know horrible name, but if she makes the original recipe like I do you will realize that the name means nothing! I'm a traditionalist and Christmas varies very little (except when we are at other places) and we kinda like it that way.

  2. You would love the dump cake. But I have to laugh at what you said because the first time I mentioned a dump cake to my brother he said "well that really doesn't sound very appealing" hahahahah It's only because you dump everything in. :)
