The only holiday meal we get or serve ham on is Christmas Day (ILs
make it) and New Year's. On Christmas we also have a turkey, so my mom
can eat. My mom is a quasi Muslim, meaning that she doesn't follow any
of it, or at least most of the time she doesn't, but she still won't eat
pig. This isn't usually a huge deal, but it means I can never make the
turkey breast with prosciutto and cheese rolled in it, can't make side
dishes like brussels sprouts with bacon, and stuff like that. Last
year, she decided (while in poor health and years of not doing so) that
she was going to observe Ramadan, so we had to hold off Thanksgiving
dinner until she could eat, which wasn't too big a deal, but the ILs had
a 2 1/2 hour drive home that night.

Regards,
Ranee
