I went for a traditional and loving execution of the classics.
The menu:
A 12.23-pound Kosher turkey (basted with a bit of butter and oven-roasted, otherwise unandorned)
Confit of cranberries and carmelized onions
Garlic mashed potatoes, unpeeled
Asparagus steamed with maple syrup and white wine
Stuffing of homemade bread cubes, carmelized onions, bacon, apples and sage
Gravy of turkey drippings (with a reasonable amount of fat skimmed off) thickened with roux
The wine: DuBoeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2004
The dessert: Classic pumkin pie, crafted by my wife and her Mum.

Delicious. I had a non-traditional, but still tasty, stuffed sole. I'd like to try a baked salmon next year--
