    We're doing turkey, as always. I don't know what we're doing for Christmas Eve, since that always changes.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Our tradition is to have pork for Christmas. So we're going to have steaks

    Our usual--fresh Dungeness crabs, steamed clams, mashed potatoes, salad, dessert. Paper plates. That's it!

    It's the 1st family Christmas I've had in too many years to remember, but the tradition here is Mulligan Stew (a family recipe passed down father to son through several generations). Its basically a beef stew with a bunch of veggies in it.

    All the step-sisters, spouses, nephew, nieces & spouses & children will come over here (my dad & s-moms) at noon - we eat then open presents and everyone watches football.

    There will be 22... well, maybe only 21 as my dad has been in the hospital since Tuesday nite and they aren't sounding like they will discharge him for Christmas yet.

    no regrets!

    Update: my sister-in-law & her boyfriend ordered a pre-made turkey dinner. We're going to reheat and eat at the adult care home where my mother-in-law is... hope my mother-in-law remembers who I am.

    Azfiddle: Sounds like a good family turkey dinner to share there at the adult care home with your MIL.

    Some changes since original posting at beginning of thread:
    butternut squash moved to Christmas Day. He also wants to prepare a brunch of dessert crepes which will have blueberries and saskatoon berries.

    Then on Christmas Day dinner we will have savoury crepes.

    I'm sure we'll eat a slice of either bakery bought linzertorte which is a German/Austrian tarte with thin hazelnut crust and raspberry jam-almond filling.

    We've even figured out vaguely for New Year's Eve....a cheese fondue.
