Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I love the traditions, the colors, the magic, the lights, the snow, the presents, the trees, and the Nativity. Of course, one of my favorite parts is the food! Uuugh, Christmas food is my weakness! There’s cookies, and fudge, ham, mashed potatoes, pies, rolls… the list is endless! To help you get ready to make the most delicious food of the year, I’ve made up this little list of 21 Perfect Christmas Side Dishes. Watch out. You might be drooling by the end of this list!
