So this year my Brothers and Sister are each bringing some Dishes to Dinner.  My older Brother is bringing a Turkey and the Maque Choux.  I am baking a Ham.  My Sister will no doubt show up with the Green Beans and Rolls.  I’m not sure about my younger Brother yet.

I am tackling all of the Desserts this year. I love to bake and my Neice is coming over to help out a few days before Christmas.

My Dessert Menu will include the following:

Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies
No bake Fudge Oatmeal Cookies
Coke Fudge Cake
Pecan Pralines

I’ll also include some Fruit Cocktail Drink.  My Mom was famous for it.  We usually have this for breakfast on Christmas.

Dinner also includes…

Yams with Marshmallows
Brocolli, Cheese and Rice Casserole

Happy Holidays!!
