We will be doing recipes from traditional holiday dishes. 

Tamales from Mexico. Many families in Mexico, particularly in the northern part of Mexico and southern American states make tamales only at Christmas Eve. This is a link to a great article on making tamales: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/05/how-to-make-mexican-tamales-corn-masa.html.
Please respond to the link to get credit for tamale project. 
Pierogi from Poland. Pierogi are half circular dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed (singularly or in various combinations) with mashed potatoes, cheese, cabbage, sauerkraut, meat, mushrooms, spinach, or other ingredients. Poles traditionally serve two types of pierogi for Christmas Eve. Pierogi made from mushrooms and cabbage (or sauerkraut) are served during the Christmas Eve dinner (according to the Polish tradition - food must be meatless that day).
