Christmas Eve Dinner is very special in our house. We always have dinner by candlelight and use our best china when we are at home. What will you be doing for Christmas Eve this year?
I usually ask DH what he wants. The usual reply is king crab legs or prime rib. This year he's cinsidrring getting a couple of prime aged rib eye steaks.
A couple of years, we had a lack of adequate kitchen facilities (temporary digs while our house was being built, home exchanges with unfamiliar kitchens, hotel rooms.) Those years, we improvised. A teppenaki dinner at a Japanese steakhouse. Take out Chinese. A 'dusty' chicken from a mexican roadside stand with all the fixings, eaten at the beat up wooden table at the road stand with the non English speaking locals. We don't speak spanish, but we all shared our BYOB beer and wine. Frankly, they were our most memorable Christmas Eve dinners,
Christmas Eve dinner is our fanciest meal of the year. White tablecloth and china. Hubby is the chef and lately it's been filets, crab cakes, twice-baked potatoes, and I don't remember what else....
We don't do much on Christmas Eve. Usually a normal dinner and then we drive around to look at everyone's Christmas lights. It's a tradition I did as a kid and we have been doing it with our kids now for the last few years. Christmas Day we stay home and my mother comes over so there's 5 of us. I usually make the traditional ham.
