Re: Christmas Dinner
we start out with a salad of fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, tomatos and bazil.
Then we have a baked ravioli with sauce, meatballs and sausage and of course italian bread. 
we eat so much the day before that we try and keep it light the next day.

Re: Christmas Dinner
This year we are having turkey dinner. We had thanksgiving with my IL's this year so we missed out on turkey dinner (they don't do a traditional thanksgiving dinner)
Last year we had filet mignon and a fresh ham.

Re: Christmas Dinner
I was "volunteered" to do Christmas Day this year. My mom is going to bring the antipasto and my cousin will be bringing the deserts. I will start with Spiniach Raviolis with a paresean sauce (from Costco) since certain relatives doing like red sauce Then we'll have a rib roast, roast beef of filet mignon (havent decided yet) with asparagus and smashed red potatos.

This sounds great! Have you used this recipe in the past or something you are trying? I am making a roast pork and might try this if it's good.
