So.....What's on your Christmas table? sm

Or your Hanukkah table or however you choose to celebrate the season?  I'm not here to split hairs on what we call it.  I just thought it would be interesting to share some of our favorite foods of the season....maybe a recipe or two.

Texas Pecan Cake (courtesy of my mom) makes a regular appearance on our table.  We don't like fruitcake in our house, but this is the Texas version, chock full of pecans and raisins. 

Peanut Butter Balls, also known as Buckeyes, are another family tradition.  Again, thanks to my mom.  She is 83 years old and still insists on making these two treats.

I usually contribute pralines, sometimes a crab dip, and Martha Washington candy. 

My brother, an old batchelor man at the ripe old age of 48, always brings something, but it is always a surprise.  On year it was a fantastic black bean salsa that he made himself.  He's a great cook....when he gets a notion.

And there are always mixed nuts, chocolate covered cherries, and York Peppermint Patties....Daddy always loved those.  There are all kinds of chips and dips and Sour Cream Fruit Salad that tastes wonderful with the Texas Pecan Cake.

Christmas Dinner is ham with all the trimmin's..potato salad, fruit salad, asparagus, stuffed celery.  And of course, all the goodies left from Christmas Eve night for dessert.

So.....what's on your table?
