Well, although I didn't get everything done, and we skipped a few dishes (crescent rolls stayed in their tube, and we skipped on the upside down pear gingerbread), we still had a delightful meal and a great time. Note for next year though: get a much smaller ham. 8lbs was way way too much for us. The kitchen was clean, the cheddar bay biscuits were amazing, and it really worked out well having tons of veggie sidedishes that were simple. I wouldn't do the cilantro butter again -- just chopped cilantro would have been much nicer.
After dinner we played PGR3 and just did the whole hanging out thing. Not having a table didn't suck as much as I'd thought it would. As long as things don't have to be cut, people are good to go for the most part because we're all used to eating in front of the tv anyway.
Still more cleaning to do this week, but we might just make it a clean house new year.
