Wow there's a lot of good suggestions here. Thanks for the ideas!
So far I'm thinking the frozen stuffed butterball and the usual fixins, or cornish game hen, deer sausage and some sides, or going the raclette route. Although that would require a raclette (however we've wanted to get one for a while now). I love the ribs idea, but I hate the mess of eating them. The seafood fest is great too, but it'd probably kill my father-in-law.

Yeah, but we're going to my folks for Christmas day, and with my work schedule that was the only time between now and Christmas we would have done it. Also, the original plan was to go to the in laws. She did run it by be before telling them to come over here instead.

We've done both a turducken and a deep-fried turkey in different years. The turducken was fantastic (and the leftovers make topnotch sammiches) but they are becoming more main stream and less awesome. If you go for the turd, make sure you get one from a good butcher that will prepare it fresh; don't go for the frozen one in a box at Safeway.
Hugh: (angry) Well, let see! Scalloped potatoes still on my plate! Green beans still on my plate! Honey baked ham still on my plate! So I´d say no! I´m still eating.
A nice Elk roast is always a great idea.Combined with garlic prawns,asparagus,rutabegas and either mashed potatoes or scalloped. It will be a belt un doing good time.
