A: It was always just the tradition in our house. Turkey for Thanksgiving, goose for Christmas, Ham for New Year's & Easter. However, according to this site, the "Easter" ham is a Pagan tradition: http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/origin-of-easter-ham-faq.htm "...Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. Ishtar also proclaimed that because a pig killed Tammuz, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday. "
