What's on the menu for Christmas?
The other half is working both the eve of and the day, so we are gonna wait until Monday to do a turkey ala Thanksgiving number 2 which is our usual Christmas meal, but a lot of my friends/family will do hams, prime rib or some other roasted meat, or something less common. What is your tradition? and/or what you going to have this year?

Wife and I will have a small ham on the day itself. We have started celebrating with our local daughter's family on Boxing Day. That gives all of us a nice quiet Christmas, as well as spreading out the cheer.
We'll be having Chicago Italian beef sammiches for Boxing Day. Salad with and ice cream to follow.

Christmas Eve will be shrimp, summer sausage and cheese to get started followed by homemade beef stew.
Christmas day will include ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, creasent rolls and Jello with pineapples and apples in it.... Pretty much the traditional Christmas meal my family has had for generations....

Ham, duck and all types "dips". Our family is difficult to set a time for dinner so my wife usually just sets all the food offerings out on the counter for a help yourself scenario!

Forgot to mention our traditional Eve meal of linguini with clam sauce. Just now saw the fixings being laid out.
Sauce is made of clams, butter, olive oil, and parsley. Elegant and delicious.

Ribeye with horseradish butter and plenty of prepared horseradish.....green beans and mashed potatoes today. Tomorrow will be another ribeye with the same horseradish butter and horseradish, asparagus, and half a baked potato.
Did I say that I like horseradish with my steak? Medium rare of course.........and I cut them myself at work.

@mohawk600, did you guys cut/offer bone in, Prime Rib Roast? ($7.99/lb. here.)
We were selling quite a few of them over the last week or so. Same around Thanksgiving.
We've also been going through about 5 Ribeye and NY Strip loins per day. Sometimes 7.
Around 300# of grind on Sat/Sun. (Per day)

Yes we did...........and sold a lot of them. Both bone-in and boneless. I don't recall the price per pound.
I cut steaks (NY strips.....petite sirloins....and ribeyes) to make prepared meals.......ready to go in the oven, in single serve aluminum trays. We call them "Meal Simple". I am hoping soon to get the full meat cutter training.
Some of the prime rib roasts we put out were not cheap though...........around $75 - 100 on avg.
We don't really sell whole strip loins.........we would of course if asked.......but not a popular fare here........our customers like them cut into individual NY strips.
Being in Central Texas we sell lots and lots of briskets......
Today when I went in..........we had a lot of the prime rib-roasts left over that re-worked into the grind.
