It's what most everybody else wanted, and since I was hosting and doing the cooking, along with my (also vegan) sister, we made both vegan dishes and non-vegan so that everyone present could eat what they most enjoy for Christmas dinner.

And nobody lectured anybody else on what is or is not the right or wrong thing to eat. And everybody left the table happy and well stuffed.
