Interesting, this is pretty much my family's traditional menu in (northern) Germany.
We make goose breasts (or a whole roast goose for a big dinner with extended family), potato dumplings, red cabbage with apples and cinnamon, chestnuts and baked apples. Dessert usually is walnut icecream with warm vanilla sauce.
I am not. However, my husband lived for several years in Germany (Erlangen, but traveled to northeastern Germany a lot) and brought many customs back with him. We celebrate a lot holidays with our German friends, and have fun blending the two country's customs.

I live in Michigan, but I'll be in Hamburg by January 4th! I had lots of Filipino food with one family and potatoes, etc with my other family. There was ham, but I don't eat ham. I just don't have a lust for eating it anymore... I'm not sure why.
