Though you cannot go wrong with either one my preference is ham. Turkey is the traditional dish for Thanksgiving and ham is the traditional dish for Christmas.

Turkey. Ham is reserved for New Year's and Easter.

Can never go wrong with a Christmas ham. I don't think I've had a single Christmas without one.

Turkey, of course. Ham, in my opinion, is way too salty.

Most people are divided on this issue, like my family for example. That is why we always have both.

Turkey. Even though we have it for thanksgiving, it provides those awesome sandwiches for the bowl games

I prefer ham, after having turkey for Thanksgiving. But this year I'm going completely away from both. I'm having seafood this year, crab cakes. Merry Christmas everyone!

definitely Turkey. I had a mishap with fetal pig dissection in high school and ham was forever ruined.

Vincent Want some bacon? | Jules No man, I don't eat pork. | Vincent Are you Jewish? | Jules Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all. | Vincent Why not? | Jules Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. | Vincent Yeah, but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good. | Jules Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf--ker. Pigs sleep and root in s--t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eatin' nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces. | Vincent How about a dog? Dog eats its own feces. | Jules I don't eat dog either. | Vincent Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? | Jules I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. A dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. | Vincent Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true? | Jules Well, we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherf**king pig. I mean, he'd have to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on green Acres, you know what I'm saying? |Vincent: [laughing] That's good.

with that being said. my family usually goes with both.

Ham but only because it's closer to bacon. lol

Seriously though - I'm not a big fan of turkey. :)

Given the two choices, I'll pick ham, simply because there's still turkey in our freezer from Thanksgiving.

Hmmm?? Well, since I'm just waking up from my nap after eating my Thanksgiving turkey, I think I'll give the ham a try.

I honestly do not think it matters what you serve, since the holiday is not about food. I believe that your family and friends would be happy with whatever you chose, just as long as you are together for the holiday, and everyone is healthy and happy. You could go with a nice pork roast even. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Ham, because one usually has turkey for Thanksgiving. That is the traditional meal. So why would you want the same meal for the next holiday. I would suggest having goose or duck if you want a bird or lamb. All three of those have some tie in with the Christmas season.

Why choose? Stuff your turkey with ham cubes before cooking!

I'm vegetarian, so I'm going for roast veges. :) ..but, having been a meat-eater for most of my life still, I'd say Ham. It's just so much yummier, isn't it? That salty cured taste. hard to beat. Turkey is a bit of a crap-shoot depending on how well it's cooked (and it's a big bird, so hard to cook well), and which cut you eventually end up getting.

Everyone just had Turkey last month on Thanksgiving. Ham? We eat it all the time.

Remember as a kid, there were certain foods you only ate once a year, on holidays, and it made them that much more special. Why not start doing this again. Why not have goose on Christmas? It tastes sort of like duck, but with a little bit of a beefy taste.
