I see a size 44 suit going to a size 46 in just one day!

[patriots_1228 51]

Turkey!!!! Die ham people!

[Joesocwork 4]

After my son's obsession with geese and reading about how foie de gras is made, I'm kind of rethinking the turkey thing.

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

I hate Turkey, it's always so dry. Ham is the way to go

Andrew sneaks into the room and steals all the food while everyone is bickering.

Ham?!? Since when has Ham (or Pork here probably, ham is something served cold in packets here) been the traditional thing to eat at Christmas? Turkey is the way to go. It isn't dry if you cook it right (with a lemon up it's backside), and you have a decent gravy with it. 

Doesn't really matter what you eat really, as long as you and your family all sit down together.

Only one? We have both! Heck, where I come from, we have many main dishes on the table!

Ham has been a traditional main course in America for a while.  Goose used to be popular back in the 1800s if you had some money to burn.

Turkey? Ham?

Pork tenderloin is where it's at.

[OffTopic 3]

I eat ham.  Turkey is for thanksgiving.  Anybody ever tried duck?

[Zelgadis 638]

Well, if I have to choose, it would have to be ham.  Turkey has no flavor at all, no matter how much you fiddle with it.

But...  It is a tradition in my family to have roast prime rib on Christmas day.  Now that's yummy! 

ISF

My family used to make Thanksgiving 2.0 for Christmas, but we've changed to roast prime rib and mushroom ragu with baked potatoes because its SOOO tasty and I only get to see my family twice a year so we make it very special and they know I like that meal. We have ham for New Years Eve though.

[patriots_1228 51]

I should start eating buffalo wings on christmas. That would be a great tradition.

[Jazzmaster 716]

Since we ate Turkey less than a month ago, I reckon' we wanted some ham.

Mmm...duck! I wanted duck for Christmas Eve dinner, but my mom choose to make dry turkey

[GingerBlokey 30]

Nut Roast for me, one with garlic and mushrooms in it.

Vegetarianism ftw!

Dry turkey is the cook, not the meat. The first thing you do is throw out the pop-up timer and use a meat thermometer. Cooking the bird upside-down for the first hour makes it super juicy. 

I am the turkey king this time of year. Ham is a good choice too, but the bird rules the roost.

[belfastuniguy 18]

We had both and on Boxing Day (December 26th) we have Roast Beef.

I love Turkey, it is not dry as others have mentioned, if you have dry turkey then the person who cooked it made a mess of it......

Well my dinner was just delicious....

[MrCinatit 30]

We're a non-traditional type of family...and none of us likes turkey.

Last year, it was Cornish hen.

This year, mom made a nice, big pot of Rigate pasta, drowned in tomato sauce. We ate at noon and I am still digesting it.

So... is the ham a lie or the turkey?

Whatever it is, I'm pro-turkey.

[Easy Bakes 253]

Turkey for me. just love the trimings that go with it.

Although an nice honey glazed ham fresh out the oven, i wouldnt kick that off the table.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Turkey is way better than ham... or any pig product for that matter.

[beebs 129]

Turkey. Ham at Christmas is just odd.

[Meg 368]

Properly cooked, turkey shouldn't be dry.

Usually, we have both.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Turkey at Christmas, ham at New Year's
