[quote=Anonymous]It can feel special AND not be hard. What matters most to you, and maybe to your husband and son? My grandmother annually made a special breakfast bread that took 24hrs by the time it had double rested and been baked. She spent a long time Christmas Eve, and then was up early on Christmas to put it in the oven. I was committed to doing the same thing, until I did it one time. It had been fun to do it with her, but I am not a baker and it felt like a chore rather than a fun tradition. I now order the same bread from a local bakery and it's just as good. Things can be special and tradition without being complicated or stressful. I love the idea of Christmas Eve always being heavy apps or Chinese or whatever works for your family. For us on the 24th it's soup, green salad and Christmas cookies for dessert. On Christmas Day we use the nice linens and china, which for my only child makes it feel special even if the food ends up not being super fancy. [/quote]
