This will be my fifty-ninth Christmas on this planet Earth and the first one that I have ever spent away from home. Well that’s not totally true, but more about that later

This was wonderful to read! I feel much the same way about Christmas that you do. It's one of my bigger regrets that I can't have a "proper" Christmas living on my own--no tree, no decorations . . . Fortunately, I still get to go home and have a few days of it every year. And all of my family likes ham biscuits for Christmas Eve >.>
It's simple, just combine ham and biscuits howsoever you choose. We just have a plate of sliced ham and a bowl of biscuits and then you stick the ham in the biscuits to your liking. Then we put butter and honey on the biscuits for dessert.
My mom always makes ham and biscuits on Christmas Eve, and she brings some to church for the priest and his or her family (it being their busiest time of year). For awhile her church didn't have a regular priest, but the same guy came to fill in on Christmas Eve for a few years in a row, and last year he actually mentioned her biscuits from the pulpit as a reason he liked coming to St. Mark's. Behold, the power of biscuits.
It's a Southern thing. My aunt (the one who lives in Tacoma) told me that she brought ham biscuits to a church picnic once and, quote, "those damn Lutherans wouldn't touch 'em!"
