Holiday Foods Rated from Worst to Best

I love Christmas foods, but sometimes they are just gross.

Holiday Foods Rated from Worst to Best

Every year, I eat with my family on Christmas Eve. For the most part, all the food my relatives bring is really good, but there's always that one weird thing someone brings that doesn't get touched. Here's a list of the best and worst foods during the holiday season.

1. Green Jello Casserole

I think this is just a family dish, so you probably have never heard of it. If you have, then I'm sorry. To enlighten anyone who doesn't know what this interesting food is, it's green Jello with walnuts, marshmallows, celery (it gets weirder), and mayonnaise. Yes, it's Jello with mayonnaise in it. For some reason my grandmother, mother, and aunt all love this disgusting green glop, but nobody else ever eats it.

2. Fruit Cake

I, like most people, have never actually had fruit cake, but I have heard it's disgusting.

3. Pistachio Pie

I have no idea what this is, but my roommate says that she despises it. She says it's basically just pie with cream cheese, Cool Whip, and graham cracker crust. I think I am going to take her word on this and just run the other direction if I ever see this.

Turkey

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but I will tolerate it. If there's cranberry sauce available, it's a little more tolerable, but still not my first choice.

Crescent Rolls

Now we are getting into the good stuff. Crescent rolls never stay around long at my family get-togethers, or anywhere for that matter. I think they are a staple for any big family meals.

Sweet Potato Casserole

This is something I look forward to every holiday season. I love making this with my mom and enjoying it afterward. For the record, the kind with the pecans and brown sugar on top is the best. The kind with marshmallows is a hard 3 on this list.

Pineapple Cheese Casserole

Sounds weird, but trust me on this one. Pineapples, Ritz crackers, cheese, and a ton of butter. It's delicious. It's like crack, actually. Once you get one serving, you don't stop until it's all gone.

Ham

Ham is so much better than turkey. This only applies to hot ham, though. Cold ham is just sinister. My favorite kind it the Honey Baked ham with the crunchy glaze all over it. Oh my gosh I'm so excited for it this year.

Everyone has their opinions, but just know mine are right, especially this list. Also, take my advice on the green jello stuff; it's disgusting.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
