Default Do you have a Christmas Menu?

We will be going to my Daughters house. She will be Brining and roasting a
turkey,(Her Dad, my hubby, always wants Turkey on Christmas) I will be
bringing a Nueski's Old Fashion Ham(we like them because they don't seem as
salty) My Son and his wife will be there along with my Grandkids, My
Daughters husbands family may come by for dessert. She will have the
typical side dishes. She does a lot of baking, so there will be breads and
pies. We will open presents after dinner. We used to go to my Sisters for
Christmas Eve, but got tired dodging drunks on the way home, so we just have
a nice quiet Christmas Eve at home. We just enjoy being with family,
especially the Grandkids. My husband will go above and beyond on my gifts as
he usually does. This year I will surprise him, I bought him a nice flat
screen TV for his bedroom wall...something he is not expecting
