[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot remember what my mom used to serve on Christmas day for dinner each year.  I do remember every Christmas eve we would order a huge chinese takeout order.  We all saved our fortunes and would write the year and our initials on it.  My parents passed away years ago but I still have the little xmas tin filled with all our fortunes that now my family reads and adds to each year.

Anyway, my point is that yes, give yourself a break - not everything needs to be picture perfect.  Phone something in - you can still turn it into a fun tradition.[/quote]

Awww - that Chinese fortune cookie story made me smile! That's sweet.

Christmas Eve is always casual, either Chinese food or takeout, but as someone pointed out it's really special because of the plating and decor. We use the china, light the candles, etc. Christmas morning, my DH makes french toast, I make eggs, and we have a fruit salad. Then Christmas dinner is a large family affair where everyone contributes to the meal.[/quote]
