Every family, not to mention every community, nationality, and religious denomination that celebrates Christmas does so in their own unique way. Nevertheless, the one defining characteristic of every Christmas celebration is the food involved. Not all Christmas food traditions are as strict and set in stone as the traditional Anglo-Saxon traditional turkey dinner (delicious and food coma-inducing as it may be). Nevertheless, the one constant that anyone anywhere can expect from Christmas is a delicious meal. However, that delicious meal can be hard to come by if you're spending Christmas in a foreign country.
