Christmas Culinary Ideas

If today is the 17th already (eek), it's certainly time to start thinking about all those Christmas foods, possibly including brunch and Eve as well as the traditional dinner.  Although with temperatures expected to hit 65 today in Boulder, I'd rather be thinking about it at Rockefeller Center, where the snow was falling so prettily on the tree at the start of the Today Show this morning.  In any case, here are a few guides to help you out with your planning:  Christmas Unwrapped from Epicurious, It's Beginning to Taste a Lot Like Christmas from Bon Appetit (that one includes a menu for a Colorado Christmas as well as an article on the all-time worst holiday foods, have to check that one out), and Celebrate the Holidays from Cooking Light.  Pull on the shorts and t-shirts and start planning.
