Traditional Christmas foods and drinks?

Does you and/or your family have any special foods/drinks you serve only on or around Christmas?
My family has had a long tradition of having orange flavored cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. It's the only day of the year we have them.
My ignore list

Bacon-wrapped dates. I had them at a Spanish bar in Washington D.C. (year-round on the menu) and decided I liked them so much, I wanted to make them a Christmas staple. My co-workers also liked them when I brought them in for the potluck two weeks back.
Also peppermint bark....curses that it is sold out.
Also we serve this nasty-ass green jello....kind of milky.
Also, there is beer from the Coronado Brewing Company (located near Downtown San Diego) called the Islander IPA which is so heavily hopped that it tastes like Christmas in your mouth....like if you were drinking a garland or wreath....have that on the 24th usually.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

bought a carp (der Karpfen), not sure how it is prepared and with what, since I have never prepared a carp before.
So I will have to stick to the cookbook.
Last year I cooked some quails.

My mom always makes Chex mix. Good stuff.
