Nope, it is not too early to discuss this. You might need to start saving up your money for this roast:

We try to have a USDA Prime Rib Roast every Christmas. It is our favorite dinner.
You will need to buy a three or four rib roast.
They are expensive, check with the butcher at your supermarket as to how much it will cost.
Ask him/her if you need to order one for the holidays.
Start saving your money to buy one…you will not be sorry you did!

Here is how we cook ours and it is delicious:

Preheat oven to 450. With the tip of a paring knife, make small slits all over the roast and insert garlic slivers. Rub the roast with salt and pepper, place on a rack in a shallow pan (you can stand it up on the rib side if you wish). Roast for 25 minutes.

Reduce oven to 350 and roast the meat for about 1-3/4 hours for medium-rare.
OR you can use an instant-read thermometer: 135 to 140 for medium-rare.

Take the roast out of the oven and let the meat "rest" for 5 or 10 minutes before carving. This helps to keep the juices inside the meat when you cut into it.

Serve with Horseradish Cream found at the supermarket in jars. Or make your own.

The roast is so good that you will not need several side dishes.
Potatoes of some sort goes good with this roast.
I like to have a tossed salad with ours.

A light dessert or pieces of fruit.
