So what do you guys (and gals) do each year on Christmas Eve? Here's our normal plan:
* Buy the shrimp, make the cocktail sauce, sliced lemon wedges, keep them ice cold in fridge
* Wife makes liver sausage dip, party pizzas (cocktail rye with pimento, mayo, etc.)
* Bacon wrapped water chestnuts with sweet sauce
* Extra sharp cheddar, pepperoni, crackers
* Russian rye with spinach dip in the middle
* IPA assortment, Manhattans, red wine
* Thinking of making chicken liver pate' again this year. One of my favorites.
Go to Mass at 5pm
The only presents opened on Christmas Eve are from my folks.
Get home, and start snacking (the five of us), usually some other family members stop by for snacks and drinks.
(Big Meal is saved for Christmas Day....I just stopped at the grocer store and bought a nice looking prime rib roast. Never made one before but I think this is the year).
