What do you eat on Christmas if you don’t have a traditional dinner?

Once our two hit 18 we skipped cooking at home, hosting or visiting family

We go to a nice restaurant in DC for Christmas dinner.

We're going to likely have ham leftover from honey baked ham so I'll probably make some galettes with buckwheat flour and fill with ham and a really good gruyere. Will find a hard cider to serve with.

different ravioli with different sauce choices from eastern market!

Not sure how big your family is, but we did a low key Christmas Eve dinner of appetizers. Everyone got to choose one or two, so we had jalapeño poppers, cheese ball, pigs in a blanket, etc. Some stuff I made, some stuff I bought.

+1. Fondue and raclette have become our holiday tradition.

There are times I have done the following:

Chinese hotpot at a restaurant
Baked ziti
Italian wedding soup with bread and heavy appetizers like cheese and charcuterie

Tapas could be fun: Spanish tortilla, paella, bacon wrapped dates, roasted peppers, meatballs

Sounds like a lovely tradition
What do you order?
Do you need to book a table in advance?
Do you have any recommendations for a good restaurant?

Is this a joke??? It’s not a lovely tradition. Only non Christians get Chinese food on Christmas it’s actually a meme and a joke. Sheesh.

I’m Christian and love celebrating Christmas. My husband is a non-practicing Jew who also celebrates Christmas. We always order Chinese food on Christmas Day. It’s one of the few restaurants actually open and my husband loves Chinese food.

Wow - I'm surprised at how little people do to differentiate the day.

We pick a country every year and cook something traditional from it for Xmas Eve. If it can be a traditional Xmas dish, even better. We started it when DS was 3 and we moved back from abroad and wanted to cook something we had over there for Xmas. Then the following year we decided to do a different country. This year is New Zealand because DS found a Pavlova recipe that resembles a wreath that he wants to decorate for dessert.
