What to Serve on Christmas Day?

Christmas symbolises Hope and Peace which in turn brings Prosperity meaning good food, health, wealth, family and people.

Something that my family focuses on Christmas Day celebrations as a tradition is to plan the day’s recipe.

I thought this Christmas that I will collate the global recipes and their base ingredients into one single post. I want to share this as I want people to prosper and never go without food.
