1. Lutefisk

My Dad's family is all Norwegian and Mom learned how to cook the Lutefisk. When i was growing up i could not eat eat it. Then in my late 30's I joined a Norwegian group and helped with the annual Lutefish dinner, a fund raiser for the group. I tried a bite every year just to see if my taste would change. Nope!

2. regular candy canes

and ribbon candy, if I come across it. nobody around here likes them. Thanksgiving has more ick items (to me) - soggy bread (stuffing) and nasty overly sweet sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows.

4. Mincemeat pie

My mother always made a mincemeat pie. When I get together with my sisters and brother, we always talk about the mincemeat pie, some(like me) loved it, others hated it.

I bought a jar of mincemeat and plan on baking a mincemeat pie to take to the family Christmas dinner on Wednesday.

7. Mom made minemeat pies - probably because my grandmother loved them

Dad's mother, that is. Her sister, my great aunt also loved them but I noticed that she put a LOT of hard sauce on her slice. This was the great aunt who was a teatotaler who never learned that Mom's secret ingredient in her hard sauce was rum.

5. What about fruitcake? Lots of folks hate it, but I love it, esp. the kind with

dried fruit instead of candied fruit. And the pale yellow kind with coconut is wonderful.

8. There's this green stuff

I’m not sure what it’s called, but my mother in-law has been making it for every holiday since the 70s. It involves lime jello, whipped topping, marshmallows, and pineapple.
