Christmas Eve is at my M-I-L's this year, and I think she said she's doing bbq ribs and trimmings. Easy enough for me to resist..(thanks m-i-l) - at our house on Christmas our tradition is Cajun boil. My son asked if we were doing it this year and stated emphatically that if we didn't he would be terribly disappointed. So...Cajun boil it is. YUM!!! And i'm allowing myself Christmas day to enjoy whatever dessert I decide to make. Haven't decided what it's going to be yet. But looking forward to it anyway.0

We don't usually do anything special on Christmas Eve for dinner. I try to keep it light since most years I'm up wrapping gifts for family or putting gaming tables/bikes together. This year, we're doing Surf and Turf again, since it was a huge hit. The menu for lunch is mostly finger foods (for the kids).
Lunch - Buttermilk Chicken Fingers, Spicy Cocktail Meatballs, Mini Calzones, Waffle Fries, and a Fruit Tray
Christmas Dinner - Grilled New York Strip, Grilled Lobster Tails, Shrimp Scampi, Caesar Salad, and Baked Potatoes
Dessert - Chocolate Cake, a mini Ice Cream Bar, & Jamaican Rum Cake0 -
3 hours of Cardio Dance classes... no rest for my fats. lol
and then... a few sushi...
Now that's one heck of a Christmas menu!!! Good for you!0 -
Turkey, Stuffing, Twice baked potatoes, Green bean casserole and some sort of dessert. It is only my husband, my daughter and myself this year :sad:0

OMG, I'm stealing your menu! I picked up a rib roast earlier today to start dry aging in the fridge, but hadn't figured out the rest of the menu yet. Only I will have to do mashed potatoes for my husband - maybe I'll do both. I'd rather have the scalloped potatoes!0 -
NORMALLY, it's the standard turkey and sides OR ham and sides.
This year, we got a pre-cooked ham from Schwans...which we'll eat cold with the other finger foods we're getting (chips/salsa, crackers, veggie tray, maybe a summer sausage, cheese). We decided to go for SUPER easy this year. And we'll be snacking on it all day...so I shouldn't go over my daily calorie allotment.0 -
I think while the families eating, I'm just going to buy a salad & eat that0
