Nice thread...there'll be so many different situations/plans...etc...

Growing up in a sterio typical "American Cathlic" family, I'm used to a turkey or a ham dinner during the holidays.

Loads of family gatherings, running back and forth to one anothers family, gift giving, bla, bla, bla...

However, since I've been with my Italian partner, holidays have been a strange trip for me.

There's been no turkey or ham on thanksgiving or XMas...usually we have "'lil chickens" Sambo :chef: (father in-law calls em) and pasta...lot's and lot's of pasta!

Traditions can change...each and every one are so wonderful and unique...but, I miss my ham and turkey :cry:
