Every year billions of people sit down to have their own version of Christmas dinner. A traditional American dinner includes either ham or turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, a variety of veggies (vegetables), bread, and deserts which include pie, cake, tarts, and more. For my husband and I, Christmas dinner has changed over the time we have known each other and been married.

This year I had the great pleasure to cook Christmas dinner (pictured above) for my amazing friend and second mother, her daughter, and my husband. Since turkey, and even ham on occasion, are difficult to find in Japan, I decided to make herbal chicken with my homemade mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, corn, and bread. Though it wasn't much (compared to a traditional Christmas dinner) it was plenty for the four of us and came out beautifully. I look forward to adapting my Christmas dinner for next years Christmas in Thailand. It will be interesting.

What was your Christmas dinner? Do you have any special traditions in your family that you would like to share with the other readers?

Thank you very much for reading!
