[quote=Anonymous]Growing up in California we had fondue by the fire on Christmas Eve and then had Christmas Day dinner with extended family.  There were some items that were always on the dinner menu (tamales -- because my dad's family is from New Mexico) as well as other things that were just experiments -- or whims really -- like the year my uncle roasted a whole pig in the backyard.  My husband's family in Michigan had a dinner with ham and all the fixings on Christmas Day, ending with a rich chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert -- because it was also my FIL's birthday.  Today we live far from extended family, so we've created our own holiday traditions.  On Christmas Eve we go out for Mexican food and on Christmas Day we have a big brunch while still wearing our pj's.  For dinner we used to do DH's family menu, but as our kids got older, they wanted to switch things up a bit, so in some years we've gone out to the movies in the afternoon and had takeout (usually Thai).  This year we're making lasagna.  The one thing we do every year on Christmas Day is have chocolate cake and ice cream.  Works for us! [/quote]
