Who's cooking / baking for the holidays?

I took the Christmas cake that I made in October out of its tin today. 14.5 lbs of boozy goodness. I broadened the scope of the picture so wtg can see my ceramic tree.
Yesterday I made a Cherry-Walnut cake that someone on the overnight thread I visit posted last week. I haven't had this cake since I was a child.
A few days ago I made fondant centers for chocolates. I'd better dip them today. Wintergreen, Maple (I know, sickly color, but they'll look better in chocolate), and orange.
This year I made my Tourtière pie filling in October and froze it. Got to remember to take it out of the freezer today.... in fact I'm going to do that now!

Christmas dinner at @bernard 's!! All the goodies look fabulous, in particular the Christmas cake.
We're having our Lithuanian Kūčios (Christmas Eve dinner) tonight. Various types of herring, beet and bean salad, Salad Olivier, šližikai, (poppy seed biscuits with poppy seed milk), and kisielius (cranberry kissel). Tomorow is a bit up in the air.
