You can really eat whatever you'd like to eat on Christmas, but some people might like to prepare special food for the occasion. What I mean by 'special' is rare or traditional, such as boiling ham and vegetables, making a huge meal, and preparing something very lavish. People may throw feasts, which would have a lot food. I know many people that are preparing turkey for their Christmas dinner.
Whatever you want. Generally someone will ask what everyone in the household would like and make a menu from that. Some people have traditions that they stick to, but there's no one thing. In my family gumbo is a must, for us that's tradition.
