For Christmas dinner, we decided to all go over to Gaby's (even though she was in Mexico at the time) and hang out.
The main course was a capon (otherwise known as a less than intact male chicken) - sounds boring, but it is considered the traditional meat dish for Xmas in Strasbourg. I suppose if you have more people, you need to go with a turkey, but we had already done that a couple of weeks before. I got the bird from the same market guy that we used for the turkey - so it was a very nice one.
Originally we wanted to do a duck, but there was no way to do that with 9 people. It also turned out to be a good thing too, since in order to cook the duck (which I eventually did a couple of days later) would have been a major pain in the butt.
We also had a big salad, corn souffle (from the Hagan's), foie gras (from Joe), green beans (from the market), cheeses, and various desserts - including Jill's Kougelhopf, the Weber's Xmas logs.
Very nice.
