Lisa, you gave me a great idea and I'll do the stuffing in a different pan. Also the turkey will not take as long to roast that way. Yahoo! Thanks!
I'm of Norwegian heritage, so Christmas usually involves some Norwegian foods.
Usually Christmas Eve was a busy night in our house when I was growing up, as we went to church TWICE (after supper and midnight candle service, which was really pretty with all the candles and music) and then came home and opened presents. So, my mom would make meatballs and lefse (a potato soft roll up bread that is yummy). You roll the meatballs in the lefse and eat them like enchiladas, sort of.
Christmas Day, we had turkey with stuffing, sweet potatoes, more lefse (we eat it throughout the season), cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and some green vegetables. It was a ton of food, and I think having the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes is too much, so I don't do that. Than we have pumpkin pie for dessert. Then we used to lay on the living room floor and moan and laugh!
Your other dishes sound great! And Jennifer, the pizzas sound yummy.
Andrew's family opened presents Christmas morning, so that's what we now do. I always thought doing everything on Christmas Eve was too much to fit into a few hours.
