[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, we usually had people over on Christmas Eve and basically had a bunch of hors d'ouerves for dinner, which was awesome since every other night of the year we had sit down meals. Grown ups would drink cocktails, we would have a fire going in the fire place, Christmas music, board games for the kids, and lots of delicious food to nosh on - baked Brie with crackers and apples, a small smoked turkey, veggies and dip, ready-made bite sized quiches, maybe my mom's seven layer dip if we were lucky. It was awesome, and I think could easily be scaled down to just a relaxing family night.[/quote]

This is what my family always did growing up (and still does).  Veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, chicken French, mini meatballs, stuffed olives, cocktail franks (only thing my cousin will eat), a big fruit arrangement, clams casino, chips, dips, 10+ varieties of cookies, bite sized cheesecakes... SO much food, and lots and lots of whiskey sours.  Activities are Christmas trivia, singing carols, Christmas crackers, etc., and my dad lines the driveway and sidewalk with luminaria made in white paper lunch bags.  It was such an awesome night as a kid; my absolute favorite day of the year (more so than the presents on Christmas morning!).  I'm Jewish now, but still go back to spend Christmas Eve with my family every few years since it's a very special family event to me.  Eating the leftovers in my pjs on Christmas Day is still a lot of fun. :)
