The traditional dinner Americans inherited from England is the goose. Just ask Ebeneezer Scrooge. We’ve modified that slightly, and are more likely to do turkey. Ask the dad in A Christmas Story.

Then there’s the Feast of the Seven Fishes that we got from Sicily, but is now more common as an Italian-American tradition than it is an Italian one.

I’ve mentioned before that I like to do a standing rib roast. Big ‘ol hunks of beef are welcome at most any gathering.

You can go with the Christmas Ham, or tweak that a bit and go with a sausage-based dish.

Some people, unfortunately, don’t get to choose what they’re having.
