Christmas 2014 Menu Ideas

I just realized it's only a few days till Christmas!  Wow, I thought I had more time. I'm going to give lots of healthy options for a Christmas menu ( and some rather indulgent ones), I know a lot of us are last minute shoppers anyway, so the timing isn't too bad, right?  Ok down to business.
