The new fashion is to have a gourmet or stone spit-roater session with the family.
I LOVE having gourmet sessions with the family! We did this for Christmas a couple of times, but lately our Christmas dinners have been more buffet-type stuff just put together for a "meal."
I also like brussels sprouts, but no one else in my family likes them at all--so I don't get them at any time of year. We never had them for Christmas or anything.
