Christmas Eve Dinner MMM!!

[Davidius]

My wife and I are about to help my mom prepare food for our Christmas Eve dinner: shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, green bean casserole, sliced ham with brown sugar glaze, mashed potatoes, rolls, and for desert pumpkin pie and cookies n' creme ice cream cake. What are you having (tonight or tomorrow)?










If you don't like Christmas, please just leave the thread alone.

We had duck, white and brown potatos, "sovs" (danish sauce) chips and some kind of jelly, and I have no idea what are dessert is called in english, sorry.

We're having red beans and rice, fudge, some kind of salad, other stuff.

I honestly have no clue what I am having at Grandma's tomorrow. Probably turkey and stuffing.

After the 9 AM church "Christmas" service (not the worlds Christmas but in the reformed tradition) a family invited the wife and I to their house for dinner with about twenty members of their family. I don't know what they are having but we are bringing a Dutch apple pie which hopefully I can eat mostly myself as some there will be children and I should be able to easily push them out of the way. After that I'm looking forward to some Bible (that's kept in a special place under the table) reading and the lifting up of some prayers to our great God not only for His temporal gifts but also gifts eternal. All this takes place if the Lord wills.

Enjoy,
William

My Sicilian mother made Spaghetti and meatballs with some G Bread. Always always ace! After letting food digest followed that up with french silk pie!

Snacks included beer dip (i will include recipe if needed), port wine cheese and crackers and marinated pretzels.

My family will be going to our friends' house, along with another couple from our church tomorrow. I am told we are having a ham dinner.

Any holiday I don't have to cook is fine with me!

We're having one too and I'm bigger than everyone, even the adults. THE PIE IS MINE!!

Not really, I'm a generous soul. I let each one have a sliver!

On Christmas Eve, I make up spiced, steamed shrimp, and this year did cauliflower, squishy rolls, salad, cookies and pralines to round out the meal. Today, we'll have roast beast, smashed taters, more squishy rolls, poached pears, Brussel sprouts, and pies.

We are having a roast, with an assortment of side dishes...This morning, we had a nice brownie with breakfast, just to do something different.

For Christmas Eve we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Azteca, which was open and is about 10 minutes from our house. My older son, who is home from college, loves eating there. Part of it is that we have known the family that runs the restaurant since our children were small babies, and our kids have grown up with the people who own and work at the restaurant. Very nice people. A lot of our time there was spent visiting with the grandmother of the family, Mrs. Sanchez, whose grandkids used to play on soccer and Little League teams with our kids, so we know her also from small kids' sports and have that bond as well. It was a very nice, peaceful time and I wouldn't trade that fellowship for anything.
