Chicken Pot Pie is a pretty universal thingy here - as is Chicken and
Dumplings, which, although not ina crust is very
similar to those things that are...
OTOH you could have found those meat pies in English or Irish style pubs
if you really had been craving them , in any
of the major and many of the slightly less populated places.

Mince pie... It's been getting harder and harder to find mince pies
around here but this year I found one that actually included meat - in
this case chuck roast. Found it in an Amish bakery in Indiana. I think
its the first time I've had genuine "mince meat" pie and it was very
good!
One of the things I found strange when I visited the US in 2013 was the
total absence of savoury-type pies.
In Aus & NZ, every bakery in every town will have a selection of meat
pies - basic steak, steal & mushroom. steak & onion, chicken, etc. The
better bakeries will have speciality selections - I've seen goat, camel,
buffalo, smoked salmon, kangaroo & crocodile, for example.
I'm not a big pie eater but I would have killed for an occasional steak
pie for lunch during our travels around the South-west.
Different cultures - different cuisines...

We pretty much match you for that.
I never work between Christmas and New Year (with one exception).
This year my wife chose to take a couple of weeks off to recharge
after a hectic last few months of the year, so we spent the whole
two weeks just lazing around the house doing nothing much except
playing games or watching movies.
We don't have any family out here (my brother lives in Texas, but
apart from that almost all our relatives are back in England), so
Christmas day itself isn't a big thing. We do still cook ourselves
a traditional turkey dinner, and we make lots of other nice items
(mince pies, veal ham and egg pie, Dundee cake, etc.) to snack on
during the off-work break.
On New Year's Eve we did consume a bottle of champagne-in-all-but-
name over the course of the evening, but we didn't bother to stay
up until midnight.
