Christmas is my family's favorite time of year. We have many Christmas traditions that we've developed over the years. One is that each year one of us daughters (mother and sister-in-laws) is responsible for a part of the dinner. My favorite part to make is the Christmas desserts.
Our family is large, there are five sisters, four brothers and both parents still living. We also have a lot of wives, husbands, nieces and nephews mixed in. When we get together there are twenty seven people. Each year one of us cooks for a separate segment. We put the supper segments in a hat. After dinner, after all the dishes are done and we're relaxing we select what our dishes will be for the next year. The menu is broken up into appetizers, before and after supper drinks (for the adults), meat, stuffing/potatoes (starch), vegetables, rolls, desserts. Two population are responsible for meat, two for stuffing/potatoes and two for vegetables. One for appetizers, one for before and after supper drinks and one for desserts. And, now that there are ten of us every year one lucky girl gets a get out of jail free card, which means she doesn't have to cook the next year!
Truffle Sauce
As I said earlier Christmas sweetmeat is my favorite. I start cooking about a week in advance. I know everybody's favorites, and like to add a few new things. I like to make lots of separate types of desserts for the family. One of my favorites is Black bottom Cup Cakes. Other is Greek Almond Cookies. These are super simple. Other favorite is right on a Red Velvet Cake with Butter Cream Icing. It's my Grandmother's method and the family loves it. The Red Velvet Cake is the one thing we're guaranteed to have every year, regardless of who is assigned sweetmeat duty.

FungusAmongUs Truffle Gatherer's Sauce, 3.15-Ounce Jar Overview
When the expert truffle gatherers return home with only a few truffles, they face the scorn of their wives and families. Sometimes they simply say they have not been gathering at all! A delicious sauce of truffles, olives, capers and anchovies would "stretch" the small batch. This sauce has become a traditional favorite over the decades!

I also make a Cinnamon Crumb Cake, a Chocolate Truffle with Raspberry Sauce and a Louisiana Roasted Pecan Pie. All of these things make quite an impressive looking Christmas sweetmeat buffet and everybody is able to find something that they in effect like.
Over the years we girls have shared recipes in the middle of us. We all love cooking, us sisters were all raised to enjoy being in the kitchen. When a new item is introduced to the table there is also a menu card for each sister for that new item. When I added Greek Almond Cookies to the sweetmeat table last year everybody was amazed how easy the method is. I got it from an actual Greek friend, Valerie. The Cinnamon Crumb Cake is also easy to make and goes in effect well with a cup of coffee after dinner.
One year when my sister-in-law picked the Christmas sweetmeat measure of our meal I gave her a lot of guidance on recipes as she in effect isn't comfortable baking. I went to her home two days before Christmas and helped her make the former Red Velvet Cake. She did it in effect well and is now a pro!
Perhaps if you have a large family you can do something like our family does. We all enjoy our Christmas cooking tradition.
