With
Christmas a little more than two weeks away, it is time to set the Christmas
Eve Party Menu and the Christmas dinner menu.
The beauty of
a Christmas Eve party is that church starts at 11 o'clock pm and the guests are
sushed out of the house at 10:30. I love the fun special feeling that we have,
the anticipation of Christmas, the beauty of the evening and the birth of our
Savior. Friends stop by to bring and receive gifts. Carols are sung and
everyone is dressed to the nines!!! Babies are kissed, kids are excited and we
have the best time.

Most people
repeat the Thanksgiving menu for Christmas but here, we love a formal Christmas
dinner with an English twist. Everyone can stay in their PJ's on Christmas but
with Christmas falling on Sunday, we will have to decide if they want to
attend. I am in favor but will defer to the majority.
Christmas Dinner
Standing Beef
Rib Roast
Yorkshire
Pudding
Scalloped Potatoes
Sautéed Green
Beans
Green Salad
with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Cheesecake
Blackberry
Cobbler

I know this sounds like a difficult
menu but with a little prep work, the dinner comes together relatively easy. The best part of this dinner is there is enough food for anyone we might meet that needs a family to spend the holiday with.... and we always love extra guests. What are you making for dinner?
We are having our family Christmas on Christmas Eve this year so our family can have time with their other families on Christmas Day...we are doing Chili and soups for our get together...simple so we can spend more time with the babies...less time with the food...
