Christmas is celebrated all over the world. No matter where you are, everyone knows what Christmas is. Everyone even has their own version of Santa Claus, and every child loves this special holiday. Because of the presents of course, but one of my favorite reasons I love this holiday is because its another excuse to pig out at the dinner table.
Christmas is mainly a Christian holiday, but every religion has adapted their own flare to the holiday. Christmas Dinner isn’t as big as Thanksgiving dinner, but it’s still usually a huge cookout for families across the globe. The main dish usually is a ham for christmas with mashed potatoes, fruit salad and pretty much all the same food as thanksgiving. The females are typically the ones we are making the dinner, or that’s usually how it goes in my family, while the kids are playing with their toys they got from that morning. While the men in the family are either drinking beer conversing, and some may even be helping in the kitchen. Christmas dinner is actually originated in Britain. (Davidson, Washington Post)
