Help with Christmas Menu........

Ok, so this is the first year I'll be hosting Christmas, and I'm having 16 people - My very Italian family and DH's very American family. DH says I'm not allowed to have 7 courses (like my mom used to do), so I need to combine some things to make him think it's less Chat Icon

Here's what I'm thinking:

Appetizers - not formal, in the living room:
Artichoke pie
Antipasto (cold cuts, olives, etc.)
Cheese and crackers


Course 1:
Baked ziti
Meatballs
Sausage
Pork
Braciole

Course 2:
Roast beef (with two sauces)
Potatoes au gratin
Sweet potatoes
Green beans almondine
Sauteed mushrooms
Salad
Crescent Rolls
*maybe a corn casserole?*

Course 3:
Assorted fruits
Assorted roasted nuts

Course 4:
Cookies and candy that my mother and I made
Cakes that my MIL is baking

LOL I'll be sure to get a bunch of disposable take home containers. But you'd be surprised - our families eat.......a lot, lol.
