People work on Christmas? Everything is closed here on Christmas including public transportation. Everything opens up again on Boxing Day which is still a public holiday.We'd always go out the night of Christmas Eve, wake up open presents then everyone goes to work
Update: Help me make an American Christmas dinner for the first time.

Parents worked at a hospital and tech company, I was 16 working fast food on Christmas, lots of old people congregate at these places on holidays in small towns.
Miserable energy good Gawd

Mainly nyc, pnw, family moved a lot for work.
Do you have a recipe for these? Can I make them from scratch?
This is the problem with having a conversation with you. You don't read in context and you always have to make up things in order to promote an argument or discussion that no one is having except you.
I didn't say "She is a robot". I said "Women aren't robots and they deserve to be check in on." Which implies that I was showing concern which you didn't do. Instead you insulted her, the exact opposite of what I did. Soooo, of course, you, who is quick to insult, would think it was "wrong" to do anything but do what you do.
Please learn how to read in context.
I'm sure you do think I'm broken. Of course you do, because I don't center you or any man nor do care about what you feel or think...about anything...especially me.
And I haven't had terrible experiences with men. I've had the typical experiences with men...actually I've had better experiences than the majority of women because I've never been physically abused, molested nor raped.
What you hate is that I don't live in the delusional la la land that most women do. I see you and humanity for what it is. A society that tells women that their value lies in the approval of men and that endless self sacrifice is somehow honorable.
I don't agree with that POV. I don't walk that path nor will you see it reflected in my speech. That should be pretty obvious at this point.
They should have a bite. Not mushy. But collards are bit more hardy than turnip greens, and your making all turnip instead of a mix, so the texture might be different.
I hate mushy greens of any kind.
Make sure you have some faygo to sip on
This is what my wife normally cooks for Christmas dinner:
Turkey or Hen- Depends on if visitors are coming
Collards cooked with Oxtails or Turkey Necks (Leftovers frozen for New Year's Day greens & black-eyed peas meal)
Baked Mac & Cheese using 3 different cheeses (Smoked Gouda, Sharp Cheddar, the third changes on her whim)
Potato Salad -Because I love her version
Ambrosia - I make this
Sweet Cornbread - Again, because this is what I like.
Some vegan meat or baked fish- My wife does not eat the meat from red-blooded animals
After the above, we may have different sorts of desserts depending on what we decided we want for that year. Since we always have sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving, we normally do not have that for Christmas. Sometimes she swaps out the Collards for Kale.

A few people have voted making a potato salad, I feel like that’s sticky territory. I’ll end up making a Jamaican potato salad as I believe we will need a refreshing salad anyway.
Your version of potato salad can end up being his version. My wife does it different from what I am use to, even though I've experienced different versions from the West to the East of the US. So her version became mine. That may happen for you two, too.
It is a completely different dish than the American one. I’ll learn to make it eventually.
