Depending on the traditions you were brought up in, you probably have a variety of things you usually eat around Christmastime. This can vary from the vegetables and meat served at dinner, to a particular brand of chocolate to be eaten on Christmas Eve. Food is a big part of Christmas, and most of us develop habits even when traditions do not exist.
Yet there is a flaw in this ideal. While it is always good to have some traditions, traditions that are based around food can be a little more tricky. We cannot all like Christmas pudding, mince pies, candy canes and other seasonal niceties - yet many of us insist on eating these items anyway. Eating something just because it's Christmas, and that's what you do at Christmas, is extremely bizarre - but we do it anyway!
Christmas is a time to be enjoyed, and that means we should enjoy the food we eat as well. If you have always hated Christmas, fruit pudding, maybe this year it's time to say to hell with tradition and have a dessert prepared that you do enjoy. No, it may not be Christmas dessert as you remember, but tell yourself you are starting an entirely new type of Christmas tradition. There is no reason to buy and consume foods you do not enjoy.
If your family protest, merely state that you have a distaste for certain Christmas foods and you would prefer not to eat them. Mostly, the issue will pass without further comment, and will not be raised again. You will thus be saved an uncomfortable culinary experience, and you may even have a few jealous, less rebellious family members eying your delicious dessert!
