The menu isn't finalized yet, but so far:

Crown Pork Roast
Dressing
Apple Salad with Pecans
Some sort of potatoes and probably sweet potatoes as well
Thinking broccoli would be a nice touch
Maybe another veggie in which case I may turn the broccoli into a salad
Some sort of bread
For dessert we will have an ice cream yule log (family tradition)
not sure what else for dessert
a cheese/fruit tray will probably round out the meal

Not sure of the wine yet. I have a bottle of beaujolais nouveau waiting to
be drank along with a Chateau neuf de pape. Whites on hand include a Blanc
de blanc and a Chardonnay. hmmm I am thinking I have a merlot hanging about
as well. Now that my memory is working, I have a 2 liter of home-made red
that was brought to me this past summer. Not adverse to purchasing
something new.

That is as far as my planning has gone thus far!
