[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love ideas too! We have a lot going on smack in the middle of dinnertime - I'm hoping to take kids to the children's church service at 5:30, while my husband drives an hour to pick up a visiting relative at 7. There's no way we'll be able to have a sit down dinner together, I need to figure out something we can keep hot or reheat quickly for the adults around 8, but is still nice enough to seem festive or special for our visitor.

Lasagna was one I thought of, but I don't know if it counts as a nice holiday meal to most people?[/quote]

NP. We save our “nice holiday meal” for Christmas Day, in the evening. Christmas Eve is about getting to and from church, which is usually a 6 p.m. service or so. So you eat chili beforehand and have Christmas cookies after. There’s also setting up for Santa to deal with. I save our holiday meal for the day we have to fully relax, stay home and take our time.[/quote]

PP you're responding to - I would do this if we were hosting both, but it looks like we'll all be going to a sibling's for Christmas dinner. The relative staying with us is visiting our place for the first time and making a short trip, so I'd like to make it nice for them, but am not sure of their favorites (spouse and I both asked and were told "whatever you have will be fine").

*we will do a big Christmas breakfast though. [/quote]

This is OP- what do you do for Christmas breakfast?[/quote]

Nothing too fancy (or healthy!). Huge batch of buttery scrambled eggs, bacon and maybe sausage, bagels with lox, sweet rolls, fruit salad or grapefruit and oranges. Considering adding another more adult dish this year but it is a lot of food already. [/quote]
