We usually eat at my mum's and it's fairly standard British Christmas stuff - turkey, usually gammon as well, stuffing, glazed veg, sprouts, mashed potato, gravy (not for me) and various seasonal condiments. She normally does a Christmas pudding too which almost always remains uneaten because everyone is too stuffed to have any..

Roast veg - potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes; free range chicken (for those that eat it); chicken style veggie thing (quorn) for the rest; stuffing; sprouts and gravy- naturellement Christmas pudding of course, and a chocolate sponge pudding for those weirdos that don't like Christmas pud. Talking of which - blimey, is that the time? Best get the sprouts on!

For Ninjamas (celebrated with my children the Saturday before Christmas - they are usually not with me the Christmas week) we traditionally have a turkey roll, roast potatoes (with mint sauce), rice, gravy, sprouts (lately also broccoli), and the traditional veggie casseroles the Finns make; suede, carrot and potato.
At Christmas; Findus TV dinners.

Last year we were in Fuerteventura for Christmas and had traditional Christmas dinner at a restaurant. This year the whole family are eating out at an Italian Restaurant but I will still have traditional turkey etc. Don't what anybody else is having.

I'll start thinking of Christmas when it's the season of Advent, which starts a week tomorrow.

Reminds me, I will need to get calendars. My kids are growing up, but some things they insist are tradition. *sigh*
Also, have to bake Ninjabread men soon.

Why ninjamas? Are ninjas significant in your family or was it just a random choice?

I'm not sure, it just happened. Probably has roots in the alternate explanation for presents: that while people are not watching, the Ninjas break in and reverse-burglarise us, and they know what people want and whether they have been nice because they are stealthy and spy-like. Also, it sneaks up before Christmas, almost unnoticed. A whole mythos has developed around that over the years.

Ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, pies, cookies, stuffing, potatoes and turkey gravey, green ran casserole, cheesy broccoli and rice, pastas, and I'm sure I'm missing something.

People eat a lot at Christmas. But I cannot eat double as much as usually do, just b/c it is Christmas.
Traditional Christmas food: Ham, sausages, potato of course, red cabbage salad, kale, pickled herring, stockfish, rice porridge with cream and jam. Some eat even more, like meatballs and Janssons frestelse (Jansson's temptation).
