    My friends and I are making sushi tonight. It's gonna be awesome. :)

    There may or may not be Sake. And I am bringing along a bottle of muscadine table wine that I picked up in Tennessee on a summer vacation.

    Duck with chestnusts, kale with bacon apple dressing, serviettenknodel (stuffing/bread), stollen, gingerbread cake,and feuerzangenbowle. I've got my entire day pre-logged already; should be able to keep the entire day under 1800 calories.

    To me it's the people I spend time with. Really don't care what food is around.

    Since nothing is open and my ILs will be hogging the kitchen, hubby and I are picking up Pizza Hut tonight for tomorrow's lunch. Me - personal pan pepperoni. Hubby - meat works P'zone. To share - Tuscany meaty marinara pasta with breadsticks. I'm eating a good chunk of the cookies/sweets I've made the last 3 weeks.

    I really wish I could say that. Ugh.

    Christmas Eve I love because we go to friends, this year we're having Hannukah food (kugel, latkes, lox, brisket, roast chicken, salads) and usually random cookies.

    Tomorrow it's going to be ham, more latkes, my hazelnut praline Yule log, and apple pie (could do without that one, but she always makes one).

    I do find Christmas food way more interesting than Thanksgiving food!

    Christmas eve - Mussels with garlic sauce and home made bread. something we love and we only needed a few mussels for tomorrow so we are having the rest tonight

    Christmas day - as normal as possible (because I like it) plus the cake my FIL prepared
    Christmas dinner - carrotsoup (currently preparing the chicken-stock for it from scratch) with mussels with home made nut and seed bread, slow roasted porkbelly (I think BIL and SIL are preparing the main course) and home made Persian ice-cream for dessert and chocolates with coffee. We need to drive home that night and to my brother the next day.

    Boxing day at my brothers' and I have no clue what he has in mind.
    I hope to get a longish walk in on one of the days but not too phased

    Christmas Eve dinner (at home): snow crab legs, shrimp, sea scallops, baked potato, and broccoli (plenty of butter for dipping the crab legs

    Christmas Eve dessert - homemade fudge and Christmas cookies, with egg nog (with Captain Morgan for the grown ups)... Will switch to Maker's after kids go to bed

    Christmas Day - going to in law's house, not sure what MIL is making (probably Italian food, since they are Italian, lol)

    Boxing Day - ham, mashed potatoes and raisin sauce, roasted acorn squash, Brussels sprouts with bacon, green beans, dinner rolls

    For dessert on Boxing Day - French silk pie (I made the crust with lard I rendered from the leaf fat of the hog we had slaughtered last spring, and the filling with kerrygold, the best quality baker's chocolate I could find, and very fresh eggs from a friend who keeps chickens) topped with homemade whipped cream... More whiskey on the rocks after kids go to bed!

    Looking forward to it :)

    I don't celebrate it, but my relatives are going out for dinner and my aunt says she's having her usual, a salad. They're doing Olive Garden.

    I'm so excited for tomorrow.

    Breakfast is cinnamon rolls and bacon.

    Dinner is steak and king crab legs, with probably potatoes or something for the side.

    Candy all day. I also have wing dip prepared that I will cook at some point.

    We might have some wine or something to wash everything down with but for the most part it will just be water. All of my serious Christmas drinking will be done at another party tonight.

    Tonight (Christmas Eve) I am having an enormous top sirloin grilling steak with jumbo garlic prawns, roasted brocolli with cinnamon and pan roasted radish <3

    Tomorrow I will probably eat turkey breast meat and salad because we'll be at my inlaws
