My mom would always make a turkey or a ham, with all the sides pretty much the same as the sides on Thanksgiving. Traditional stuff.

I'd always make a veggie lasagna or stuffed shells (vegetarian) for myself and anyone else that wanted it.

We have the same thing! But also before the lasagna on Christmas we have the antipasta. Thats my favorite part of the holidays

Also on Christmas eve with the fish my dad makes pizza from scratch. It has become a tradition in our family. It has gotten better as the years have gone by

ita - Christmas Eve is definitely all fish (7 fishes) and Christmas day is definitely as you said stuffed shells, lasagna or baked ziti and a meat.
My DH is Jewish and now loves the Italian traditions.
