Christmas goose
Festive December bird
A Christmas goose is a roasted goose served as the centerpiece of a Christmas dinner, a tradition especially associated with Britain and northern Europe.
The dish appears prominently in Victorian literature—Scrooge sends one to the Cratchits in *A Christmas Carol*.
Though largely displaced by turkey in modern celebrations, it remains a symbol of old-fashioned holiday feasting: They're having goose this year, like in the old days.
