Every year our Christmas dinner has one flaw. We have no gripes about eating the same menu annually - ham with cherry sauce, green bean casserole, twice-baked potatoes, and freshly baked rolls. It's the Jell-O salad that gets us.
Our mom makes a strange concoction of dark cherry Jell-O with Coca-Cola and bits of cream cheese, which is not as bad as it sounds, but she serves us a slab on top of a piece of iceberg lettuce. The lettuce is our mom's way of dressing up a barren salad plate, but the lettuce taste is transferred to the Jell-O. We end up eating lettuce-flavored Jell-O, and trust us we've protested.
As we gather around the Christmas dinner table with family and friends - feeling fortunate to even have food, family and friends - no doubt we'll have Jell-O on lettuce again. We'll eat it, with a smile

Must be a mom thing. My mom always serves her Jell-O salad (lemon/lime with shredded cabbage and carrots) on top of iceberg lettuce with a dollop of mayo to make it extra special!
