I'm having the first ever holiday season with my MOTHER (yeah I know .. shocking to me as well).
My husband and his mother ... me and my mother (4) will be there. I'm cooking. Neither of our mothers can cook. (Don't tell them). Might have a friend or two extra to help with some of the eating !
So here goes:
Cajun Turkey
Honey baked Ham
Dressing (yes, people -- DRESSING .. cornbread dressing -- SOOO much better than stuffing)
Giblet Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Sweet Potato Casserole
Broccoli Casserole
Green Beans
Cranberry Salad
Rolls
Cherry Cheesecake Pie
Italian Creme Cake
Cream Cheese Brownies
Sweet Tea!I'm sure there will be plenty left if you want to come!
Edited to add: All of this will come directly froms scratch. I'll buy the whole cranberry sauce but that's about it!

ok must add.............. last year i was gonna do the turkey myself.............. and needed to do it all cheap so i thought damn its just me and the wife so i dont need a entire turkey.............. i bought one of those jenny O like turkey things.................... and things pretty much describes it.......
i thought it was gonna be a nice peice of breast in gravy that i could heat up in my oven.......... was a damn glob of s*** with ooze all over it. all i gotta say is if i didnt make the absolute best mashed potatoes in the known universe........ my wife woulda been seriously pissed at me.
