Christmas Dinner RecipesUPLOAD A RECIPE

To cut down on holiday stress, begin planning your Christmas dinner in November. If you're new to preparing holiday meals, choose recipes with fewer ingredients or simple preparation. Many recipes can be made ahead and frozen -- a big time-saver on the day and your dinner. Also consider whether any of your guests are vegetarian or have food allergies. Finally, set aside some time to clear out your refrigerator to make room for the extra ingredients and make-ahead items you'll be preparing.
