Can't say I'm looking forward to it as I've lost my taste for beef in recent years, but it is the tradition. I do still love the plum pudding, however. If I had my way I'd keep the plum pudding and do a roast leg of lamb or pork.

Prime rib
Baked potatoes
Roasted brussel sprouts
Green salad with oranges and grapefruit
Chocolate pots de creme
Pork loin roast
Roasted sweet potato wedges & apples
Asparagus
Spinach salad with pomegranate and goat cheese
Lemon yogurt cheesecake (saw a recipe in NY Times cooking and it looks delicious)
Whichever one we choose, we'll probably have the other on NYE.

Christmas lunch (large party for 25+, severed buffet)- turkey breast, stuffed shells, sausage and peppers, salad, green beans, focaccia bread, mac and cheese, lots of desserts that guests bring and possibly random sides that guests bring but always works out
