I'm trying my hand at a Turducken from Hebert's in Maurice, for Christmas Day. It's my first attempt.

You're basically putting it in the oven.

I think you'll have to take it out at some point.
Good luck.

Christmas Eve: Italian sausage poboys and raising Cane's chicken fingers. I know it's weird but that's what we do.

Christmas Day: Gumbo and ham

Later Christmas Day: Tenderloin shish kabobs

Christmas Eve - early dinner at Jubans, church, seafood gumbo at the house with wine, family and friends.

Christmas day - 9 lb prime standing rib roast, Yorkshire pudding, split pea soup, asparagus and a Ceasar salad as we need some roughage.

Other dishes that will be present include lyonnaise potatos, Mac and cheese, green bean casserole and no telling what else. I can't stop what people bring.

We have an open house for family and friends on Christmas Eve. I don't know the entire menu since multiple people are making things. I know some of the dishes.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
Baked or grilled lamb chops
Muffalattas
Grilled whole tenderloins
Smoked ham
Boiled shrimp
Mini meat pies
Roasted pecans
Something with crawfish that I can't remember
Black bean salsa
PBJ's allegedly for the children which are eaten by the adults, so extra has to be made.
Pesto, goat cheese and sundried tomato palmiers
Better Cheddar
Jalapeno Pimento Cheese with benne wafers
Love Dip
Cheeses
Something with pasta

We have breakfast out for everyone and they make plates as they arrive on Christmas morning before opening gifts. Usually, eggs, grits, bacon, Hebert's chicken jalapeno sausage and some other sausage, biscuits, mayhaw jelly, breakfast casserole, french toast casserole and some sort of potato side, breakfast burritos and whatever else shows up.

On Christmas night, we have chicken and andouille gumbo, salad, some sort of French bread and leftover party food.

Eve: Seafood gumbo, potato salad, and a pile of desserts at my dads house
Day: raw oysters & assorted pies (no clue what else) @ my wife's dads side
Day after: I'm cooking 2 gumbos (chicken & sausage and seafood), potato salad for my wife's moms side (I know she distributed food responsibilities to all the attendees)

Normally would be seafood gumbo Christmas Eve and smoking a whole bunch of stuff Christmas Day.

Cannot travel this week due to the fact that the wife is near full term. Gonna stay home and do it easy this year. Chicken and sausage gumbo Christmas Eve using a homemade stock from some smoked chicken. Breakfast casserole Christmas morning, and having reverse seared ribeyes, butternut squash risotto, asparagus, and salad Christmas Day. Dessert will be homemade pecan pie and ice cream.

Of course lots of beer and wine as well.

I will most miss my aunt's ridiculous seafood gumbo Christmas Eve and shrimp and mirliton on Christmas Day.
