Every holiday season I have noticed that Christmas Dinners have changed over the years and I want to know the reason? Is it because people like to show off different recipes or is it because people want to try different foods for Christmas dinners? Take for example just like people traditionally eat turkey on Thanksgiving the traditional Christmas dinner was always ham and sweet potatoes and the supermarkets would have canned hams always on sale. But if you look at Christmas dinners today I noticed that the new trend for Christmas dinner is seafood like fish fillets fish fingers and shrimp scampi and shrimp party trays and casseroles and the desserts are now cakes and cookies when the traditional Christmas dinner dessert used to be always pies. And now that people are staying home for the holidays these seafood party trays have taken off like rockets and are hugely selling at stores. Do you think Christmas dinners have gotten a new image?

I think Christmas dinners have definitely changed. I remember in the early 1980s, my aunts would always bring casseroles: green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, tuna casserole, macaroni casserole, etc. Most seafood was never a big thing, back then, but it's very popular now.

Still, I enjoy the classics.
