ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christmas dinner

Alright kiddo, so Christmas dinner is a special meal that families have on Christmas Day. It's a time for everyone to gather around the table and enjoy each other's company while they eat delicious food.

Now, let's talk about the food. Usually, there's a big roast at the center of the table, like a turkey or ham, that's been cooked for hours in the oven. It's really juicy and tender and tastes so good!

There are also lots of side dishes too, like mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing (which is a mix of bread and other yummy ingredients), green beans, and cranberry sauce. And of course, let's not forget the desserts! Some families make pies, like pumpkin or apple, while others might have cakes or cookies.

Everyone has their own favorite dish, and it's fun to share and try new foods too. Christmas dinner is a time for celebration, and nothing brings people together like food!
