Every Christmas table need a glazed ham. It is very popular in the United States at Thanksgiving celebrations. The lovely glaze makes this ham absolutely delicious. While cooking at various establishments, we used to always have a glazed ham on our christmas menu. You must serve some form of mustard with the glazed ham. Wholegrain mustard is my personal favourite. .In South-Africa we also make roast turkey for Christmas, or sometimes roast lamb or roast chicken.  We also like having trifle as dessert on our Christmas table and the table normally consist of a buffet selection, either from starter to dessert or if not, then at least the main courses.
