I always cook a traditional Soviet menu for New Year’s. We get some Soviet champagne to go with it, and unleash the childhood memories.

For Thanksgiving, I do the traditional American thing. Brined and roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, etc.

But what to serve for Christmas? What do you, folks, do? Also a turkey? It feels weird to do two turkeys so close to each other. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to distinguish between the Thanksgiving and Christmas family meals? I want it to be still American but different from the Thanksgiving shebang.
