Wondering what others have encountered
I have a friend whose family had a tradition of 5 different sorts of potatoes on the table and you had to have some of each, so as I remember, Small boiled potatoes, Mash, Croquettes, Roasties and Chips.
I was also shocked at another friend who puts tomato sauce on his Christmas dinner.

.... I was also shocked at another friend who puts tomato sauce on his Christmas dinner. That's disgraceful - only HP will do for Xmas dinner.

I don't think our dinner is odd, but we still decorate the tree with a mishmash of inherited 1970s tat, angels made out of toilet rolls by the kids 20 years ago, winter sports action man (who is holding a tiny mandolin) and even weirder stuff. Our adult children refuse to hear of any changes being made.

Not weird to them of course, but Christmas dinner at my Polish wife's house (and traditionally in Poland) is on Christmas Eve and should consist of a carp that was very recently swimming happily in whoever happens to have a bathtub until its 'big day'. Other delicacies include a very peculiar layered herring dish, topped with cream and then beetroot, which combined looks somehow for all the world like an old-fashioned trifle. Not my favourite I have to say. You also traditionally don't drink alcohol with that meal, but frankly I find it essential with what else is on the table  |

Pulling a rock in front of my door on the 10th December, moving it on the 10th January. For the last thirty years.
