Christmas Day - the women cooked - Turkey or Ham with all the trimmings.... But - Christmas Eve - the men cooked - often chili and tamales.... Unlike on Christmas Day the food was out for self serve for 4 to 6 hours and we just grabbed it informally with paper plates so the ladies had a break... I remember going to town with my grandfather to buy the tamales from some locals that made them in their own family recipes those old fashioned hand rolled corn husked tamales where you could actually find the meat - then we would stir up a big batch of prime beef cuts into a pot of chili with hand cut bits of a roast and most times a touch of pork and venison too.... Laying out all the pico guacamole lettuce tomatoe and other trimmings so that anyone could grab a bowl whenever they arrived or just got hungry... Seemed there was always a football game going even when we only had three stations - LOL So the food was on the porch or in the den in warmers and the women had the kitchen and dining room to gather and the men had the game in the den or just sat outside on the porch to talk.... Also seemed us kids always had a running football game in the back yard all day with all our cousins we had not seen in a while.... |

Every now and then it was chicken and sausage gumbo..... And when we had Christmas on the farm - a bit of an early deer hunt then home made sausage bread for breakfast... What about ya'll --- what were your traditions ? ? ? |
