My wife appealed for a non-turkey feast this year, and of course I am usually easy for her to convince. We did Roast Beast instead, and in fact roast everything: baked potatoes, roasted asparagus, and baked breads and pies. Hard cheese, I guess, which wasn’t roasted.
Easy feasting, though. Turns out a standing rib roast is a great variation if you want a vacation from the usual turkey and dressing.

That looks delicious!
Since Thanksgiving is the only time during the year we do turkey and dressing, we don't vary it. It's also the only time we have that traditional green bean casserole. We mix it up a little with how we prepare the turkey - roasted, smoked, deep-fried. The sides, appetizers, and desserts are varied and fun. It's usually at least 10 people, often more, so the roast would be pricey and the grandchildren expect "the usual".
It's Christmas when we're most likely to have a standing rib roast. Unless we decide to go full Tex-Mex or something else. It's a smaller group. I'm pushing for brisket and baby back ribs this year.
