We are doing family meals both days.

We always have our big formal meal on Christmas Eve. We are always so tired on Christmas Day we like an easier meal, usually ham, some sort of salad and either a potato casserole or other similar veggie that we can put in the oven and heat up.

Christmas Day, with my oldest friend and her extended family.

Christmas Eve is special, though, too, we make a high-maintenance lasagna. The kids were super helpful this year, which was a nice change.

Eve is a fancy meal
Brunch on Xmas morning
Casual dinner on Xmas day

Same Christmas Day is *exhausting* to me. Christmas Day is for quiche (made in advance) and for us leftovers from Christmas Eve dinner!!!

So like a regular Sunday except some Christmas music thrown in?

Not PP but we don't do a big meal either day. It's still an exciting day of friends and family. The meal doesn't make our holiday.

Christmas Eve for us- fancy cocktails, fancy dinnner, lots of excitement and anticipation. Christmas Day is also nice (and planned out- this year it’s a ham and sides, with a torte for dessert) but more casual, kids still in PJs etx

We do somewhat laborious meals but nothing over the top because I don't want to be cooking endlessly either day. So typically:

Christmas Eve - tamales, enchiladas, Mexican food

Christmas Day Brunch - eggnog French toast, chocolate crepes, biscuits and gravy with eggs

Christmas Day dinner - Homemade bread bowls and broccoli cheddar soup with salad

Oh and desserts in addition - so tres leches cake for the first night, Christmas cookies for xmas and gingerbread that night

Both. Different family gatherings.
