Giggle: Potluck Christmas
“Creamy taters and honey burnt ham… A Christmas Miracle!”
That Guy invites some of his fruitcake friends, who have no holiday plans, over for a potluck Christmas dinner. He secretly tells each person to bring mashed potatoes because that is HIS favorite dish. And he plans to have leftover taters for a long time. Meanwhile he burns the ham to a crisp and proceeds to carve it with a saw. “White Christmas” is playing loudly on a loop. And Christmas chaos ensues with the start of a food fight, as Broke Daddy misses TG and plants a “snowball” of mashed potatoes in Dearie’s face.

Gab: Christmas Eve Dinner
Christmas 2024 is “Big Christmas” at The Walsh House, which comes every other year, when all my fruitcakes are home. The other years we have Big Thanksgiving and Little Christmas. The tree is decorated, stockings are hung, and we are exhausted… This year our holiday will begin with Christmas Eve at Galley and Garden. It is such a joy to leave Christmas Eve cooking to Chef Jessica Lindeen and team. This annual dinner is an abbreviated menu of comforting fare. The 2024 menu is in development. For example, last year, they offered drink specials, wine pairings, Christmas cocktails, and magnums. And the menu included a first course apple salad or French onion soup, a second course of turkey and dumplings, short rib pot pie, or pork tenderloin. Dessert options were pecan slab pie, chocolate cobbler, and pumpkin caramel crème bar. Highly recommended! View Event
Goods: Christmas Giving
No one returns gifts of food and wine. Most of our Birmingham Restaurants Members offer gift cards or gift certificates, in denominations from small to large. And your local Piggly Wiggly Wine Departments are your one stop shop for wine gifts. From fun bottles at low price points to vintage Champagnes and 20 Year Ports. Stop by for grocery shopping and Christmas shop while there. The Pig also offers custom gift baskets with or without wine, and fresh flowers for gifting or your holiday centerpiece.
