Nobody wants lumpy mashed potatoes.

I am thinking salmon and prawn parcels to start
I will have a spicy beetroot and avocado salad or maybe garlic mushrooms and roasted peppers.
Usual Turkey dinner (i will have this without the Turkey)
Eton mess or sherry trifle for dessert.
Maybe going to chuck in a weird pineapple with cracked pepper course while I am at it.
Our traditional Christmas meal is a bone-in prime rib roast. Yorkshire pudding, garlic mashed potatoes, and my wife's special red wine sauce/gravy.
Homemade pecan pie, and fruitcake for dessert.
A German apple pancake for breakfast.
Yorkshire pudding is on my menu
Dave, I just confirmed that we're having stuffed mushrooms as a starter. Will keep you posted as I hear more.
My mom's husband (Stepfather) is kinda a dick when it comes to our family potluck Christmas dinner. He always brings his own Tupperware containers and will pack his "to go" package of leftovers before everybody has finished their meals!
In other words, he always wants to make sure the complete meal is available to him even if a family member hasn't had their fair share yet. I have sen him pack the rare prime rib pieces away before everyone has sat down.
My wife is infuriated with this practice and I fear she will snap soon.

He's been like that for many, many years. I prefer just to keep a low profile b/c if I say something all hell will break loose.
I warned my wife to just let him be a dick but I am not sure she can keep quiet much longer, especially if she has a couple glasses of wine.
Take video if she goes off
Do they host Thanksgiving? He probably feels like that's his entitlement for hosting, even though it's still a dick move. But if he neither hosts nor prepares the meal, then you have to put an end to that! (I'd probably tell my mom to confront him if I were you.)
