Okay, I don't have any recipes because I'm not in charge of the Christmas cooking, but I'll tell you about my favourite traditional Christmas foods!

My dad makes all sorts of good things (almost making up for his general uselessness the rest of the year), mostly snacks. "Nuts 'n' Bolts" consists of cheerios, shreddies, various nuts and pretzels roasted with oil and seasonings, and it's really tasty. He also makes seasoned toasted almonds, and candied orange peels. Mmmm. I'm going over there tonight to stuff my face.

My uncle is an expert chocolatier, so Christmas at his house is always good too. Chocolate and shortbread. Mmmmmm.
