I don't do any special cooking for Halloween and Thanksgiving is standard-issue turkey & etc.
I do have a lot of Christmas recipes that are special for us. Cookies mostly, and a fruitcake for people who don't like fruitcake. I'm at work and don't have them with me.
I would like it very much if folks posted their treasured recipes here.
I'm almost afraid to post the family favorite for holidays - fruit salad with ginger ale.
Just take your favorite fruits - I usually take frozen peaches, strawberries, blueberries and cherries - slightly thawed, pineapple chunks, and seedless grapes (halved). Pour enough ginger ale to cover. Do this an hour or two before serving so the fruit has a chance to finish thawing. When it's time to serve, add sliced bananas and more ginger ale. You can also use diet Ginger Ale - it doesn't get the funny aftertaste that mixing diet soda with sweet stuff usually does.
