Traditional Christmas Lobster Recipes?
I always spend Christmas with my extended family Down South (I'm talking Atlanta, not Kittery) and am thinking with the low price of lobster I should take a bunch of lives ones with me this year as a special treat.
Is there a Maine Christmas Lobster tradition that I should take with me?

My address is:  I'd pay for that shipment in a heartbeat!! Comparing to $24 a pound here, I'm sure shipping would be MUCH cheaper! |

I'm finding some good recipes on the Maine Lobster Promotion Council site but I'd love to know if there are any Maine Christmas Lobster food traditions. |

Tie a string around their tails and tie them to the Christmas tree like ornaments. Remove the bands from the claws and watch people "pick" them.  |

What a GREAT idea!
I personally haven't heard of lobster being served at Christmas. I guess some people might. Perhaps a cup of lobster stew before dinner???? 
Traditionally I would think we eat them more during the summer. |
