Is there a holiday food anyone looks forward to every year? Particularly right now for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or New Years?

I love shortbread cookies! Tasty soft ones that are almost cake-like! mmmm.....

oh i always make santa cookies on christmas. it's a family tradition. it's really simple you bake sugar cookies frost the top third with red frosting the bottom third with white frosting use a red hot for the nose two chocolate chips for the eyes coconut for the beard and a marshmellow for the tip of the hat. it's really hands on and it gives you time to talk and have fun with the family.

I like a variety of things, potatoes and ham being my fave. Though baked apples and Christmas Crunch salad (broccoli and cauliflower with special dressing) are also good.

i'm puerto rican and i look forward to the arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas) and pasteles (masa made from yucca or taro root filled with meat or chicken stew wrapped in banana leaves and steamed) that my mom makes. I, on the other hand, have a taste for the international and my family looks forward to my swedish lucia buns, german kugelhopf, and italian panetone. I used to make english plum pudding but got tired of the long process.

That is quite an international flare you have for food. I'm impressed.

I would be interested in recipes for arroz con grandules and pasteles if you could get them from your mom. They sound yummy!

only the truly brave will go through the arduous process of making pasteles. It's alot like making tamales. I'll see if I can con my mom out of the arroz con gandules though.
