[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were in your situation here is what I would do:
Dinner on Christmas eve:  frozen fish sticks and frozen shrimp and frozen tater totsd heated up in the oven.  homemade cole slaw with a head of cabbage that I bought beforehand.
Dinner on Christmas day: stroganoff that I mostly made before we left.  Make stroganoff using prime rib meat or t-bone steak meat before we leave.  Put the sauce in the freezer.  When we get back, pull the sauce out of the freezer and defrost it.  Cook the pasta, stir in sour cream (purchased before trip), add the stroganoff sauce, stir.   
Stroganoff would go well with peas, or brussels sprouts, or green beans.

Lunch on Christmas day:  sandwiches and canned soup.

Hopefully your family will be understanding that the meals need to be pretty simple, what with you all just getting back from a trip and the stores and most restaurants closed.

P.S. -- here is a tip I have learned about milk -- the lactose free milk stays fresh for a lot longer than regular milk.  So you can buy lactose free milk before you go on your trip and you won't need to worry about whether you need to go to the store to buy fresh milk or not when you get back.  It tastes the same as the regular milk. [/quote]

Is this a joke?[/quote]

Hope so. I wouldn't serve my kids frozen fish sticks on the regular, and DH sure wouldn't eat them. [/quote]
