Did you make Christmas dinner?

Hoe many of us made Christmas Dinner this year? I did, and surprisingly it turned out great. This was my first time ever making a turkey. I had called my mother and grandmother and asked them how it was done. I took both of there advice and worked on a plan for my bird. I had made full sized chickens before but never a turkey. I was a little bit worried as we had invited a few people over. So I took out some chicken breasts just in case I couldn't provided a cooked turkey! I was fairly worried at first but later in the day I became more confident. The turkey turned out great and there was no need to cook up the chicken. Everyone loved it! Did you make a turkey this year? Or did you go out for dinner instead? What was your first turkey cooking experience like? What do you serve with your dinner? Is there something special that you make? Do you use cookbooks for big dinners or old fashion family recipes?
