This menu for Christmas dinner is so easy, yet festive and delicious. Serving the ham cold is the first step; the second is to use your crockpot and choose recipes that are made ahead of time so there's no last minute rush. I've created two sauces to serve with the cold ham to dress it up a bit. No one will complain about this menu, and you'll be in a mellow mood since it's so easy! Merry Christmas!

My grandmothers were both such wonderful cooks. And every year at Christmas I turn to their recipes for special dinners, treats, and memories. Try Rosettes from my Grandmother Clara, or Parker House Rolls and Sugar Cookies from my Grandmother Matha and make your holiday season just a little bit more special.
