What do you bring to the Christmas dinner?

The dish I get asked for every year (to be honest I'm tired of making it) is a chocolate eclair dessert.
No cooking required! But major prep time needed since it needs to sit overnight.
Ingredients: 1 box of graham crackers, 1 tub of choc fudge frosting, 1 sm box of french vanilla pudding, 2 cups of milk and 1 regular tub of cool whip.
Use a 9 x 13 baking dish
Start by making the filling. Mix together the milk, pudding and cool whip.
Put 1 layer of graham crackers on the bottom of baking dish. Then put 1/2 of your filling on it. Another layer of crackers, the rest of the filling and a final layer of crackers.
Now I like to heat the frosting a little in the microwave so that it spreads really easily. Put the frosting on top of your creation, cover with foil and put in fridge. Must sit overnight! That's it! You're done!
Awesome dessert, no cooking and people will fall in love with you! Enjoy.
So what's your signature dish?

I know it's a cop out, especially for a chef but a nice bottle of wine. A nice middle aged Chateaux Potensac. The holiday season is very stressful for restaurants so cooking anything real elaborate or time consuming just adds to that stress. If your friends chastise you about bringing a $65 bottle of wine to christmas dinner, seek new friends.
Oh and not to knock your "eclair" dessert which sounds scrumptuous, but a real eclair isn't that hard to make. Pate choux is the easiest laminated dough to master and recipes for it abound.

Eh, if I had a chef for a friend and his ass brought a bottle of wine every year while my ass was cooking up some complex meal I would be mad probably. Everyone works hard my friend, I work well over the standard 40 hours a week every week.

I would forgive him as long as it was a good bottle of wine. Liquor covers alot of sins as well.

i hear yah though
if the ONE PERSON who doesn't bring any cooked food is the PROFESSIONAL CHEF.....that's a lil fucked. Even if he does bring the nicest bottle of wine.
Paying for wine does not equate to the results of years and years of craft and training cullinary arts.

why would you get mad? Why wouldn't you ask for help, or drink some of his wine, and flirt with his wife? I'm thinking bout making a london broil this year, besides making the usually glazed ham and what not. Seeing as I'm the only real 'chef' in the family, I guess everyone assumes I be handling the shit this year.

I bring Cheesy artichoke dip. It's got artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar Cheese, some mayo, a little garlic and salt to taste. Bake until golden and bubbly, serve with crackers. Yummy stuff.
