We never had turkey for Christmas. That was for Thanksgiving. Beyond that, no way.
Christmas eve was always a MUCH bigger holiday for our family, and it always involved seafood - shrimp scampi or a "seaside stew" that had just about everything in it but the kitchen sink, spaghetti and clam sauce, pickled herring, bakala (salt cod. doubt I spelled it correctly), calamari. Seven kinds of seafood, and LOTS of it!
Christmas day - way back when it was 30+ people at my parent's house - was roast beef, ham, raviolis, and lots of sides. Never turkey.
