That's tough. I'll have to go with Christmas.

It is Thanksgiving and it isn't really close.
Christmas has too much other stuff going on. Thanksgiving is day devoted solely to the joys of the table.

Can I get a recipe for this from you or whomever it is you entrust to make it well? I used the John Besh one last year and it was pretty shitty.
and Thanksgiving > Christmas

Oyster dressing is not very good. It just isnt.
But, in its place I often make an oyster and artichoke gratin. You saute down some onion and garlic in butter, deglaze with white wine and some oyster liquor and let reduce. Let cool.
Add artichoke hearts (just the jarred ones are fine) and your oysters. Place in buttered gratin dish. Top with breadcrumbs, more butter, and some parm. Broil until bubbly. Serve it with slices of a baguette that you toast.

Thanksgiving. On Christmas, we generally eat a late breakfast and snack all day before a pretty good meal.
Thanksgiving has the clutch lunch of the year.

My grandmothers oyster dressing was fantastic. No bread, just ground pork, onions, oyster liquor, chicken livers and gizzards.
I make it for myself at the holidays as none of my Yankee family or friends will touch it

As far as a meal, it's Thanksgiving. Big meal with all the trimmings. It's my favorite holiday.
We have a big party sort of open house thing on Christmas Eve with lots of great food, but it's like a heavy cocktail food party. I love it, but it's not a dinner. Christmas morning, we have a big breakfast before the gift opening extravaganza (lots of kids involved in that). Christmas night, we have a very very casual come by and eat some gumbo thing. We put out any leftover party food, as well.

I retract my Christmas answer and switch to Thanksgiving.
Only because I eat at least 2-3 amazing meals on Thanksgiving. And only one really amazing on Christmas.

Thanks! I'll try this this year instead. The whole pulled apart day old french bread in Besh's was just a fricking fail.

After going through a few recipes in that cookbook, I am fairly confident not one of them was actually tested.

It's inside my Dad's head. Gonna have to have him write it down one day.
The Crab & Brie soup is awesome too. Almost positive one of the NS relatives gets that at Dakota's.

Funny I never seen you at the dinning room table for Christmas dinner. Did they stick you at the kiddy table?

I've just never been that impressed with it. It usually has very muddled flavors. I am sure yours is awesome though. I just prefer an oyster gratin during cocktail hour than an oyster dressing at the table.
