Starting from Thanksgiving to Christmas and all the way to New Year’s Eve, the latter months of the year are always the busiest. It is during this time that you have to go shopping for presents for family, friends and colleagues at work. It is also when you need to do some shopping for yourself so that you can have something to wear during special occasions. More importantly, it is a time when your presence is needed in the multitude of parties that you are bound to be invited to. Factors to Consider when Choosing Christmas Dishes But what if it is your turn to host instead of merely attend a party? Let’s say that the tradition in your family is for families to take turn as hosts for Christmas dinner. If you are hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the number one task that you need to do first is to select which among the traditional Christmas dishes you would be serving. Whether you’re a good cook or not, you can still manage to host a successful Christmas dinner by knowing which dishes to choose, planning the event accordingly and preparing for your hosting duties in advance. Here are a few tips on how you can make a selection among the many Christmas desserts and main dishes that you will serve. • The number of people who will join the dinner. First, consider the number of people who will be attending the dinner that you are hosting. If the entire family is coming, you might need a huge roast turkey or a big Christmas ham which will serve as the main course. For those who live in southern states, chicken and dumplings are usually served during Christmas dinner. Naturally, there’s also mashed potatoes; a variety of savory and sweet pies; plum pudding; eggnog; fruitcake; Russian tea cakes; Smithfield ham; biscuits; etc. • The diet preferences of each individual. What if you have a sister who’s a vegetarian or a guest who is lactose-intolerant? In order for people to have plenty of food options, make sure that there is something that these individuals can eat based on their dietary preferences. • Traditional Christmas desserts or non-traditional dinner? When hosting dinner during the holidays, you can take the traditional or non-traditional route when choosing which dishes to serve. For non-traditional dinners, you can include dishes from other countries such as Japan, England, Vietnam, Russia or Colombia. For traditional Christmas desserts, make sure that there is Christmas pudding, fruitcake, gingerbread men or chocolate chip cookies, candy canes, mixed nuts boiled custard and other dishes to satisfy your sweet tooth. • Follow old family recipes and add a sense of nostalgia to your Christmas dinner celebrations. Lastly, you can bring out your grandmother’s old family recipes and follow them. This will give your dinner companions something to talk about and munch on over dinner. As you can see, choosing which dishes to prepare when hosting Christmas dinners is all about following your personal preferences – although you need to take into consideration the needs of your guests as well.
