Deviled eggs, stuffed celery. Trifle. The whole dinner. Chocolates. Candy canes.

I've been known to go to a movie on Christmas Day and grab Chinese food afterward but it's not really tradition. Man, that food sounds terrific. I want your life; mine is dull by comparison, lol.Oh y'all! Everything sounds so yummy. Doc Creed - that cake! skimom2 - COOKIES!
I've stocked the house well with plenty of Christmas snacks: summer sausage, cheese, nuts, shrimp, Christmas punch - for the week the kids are out but we're still working. That seems to be my tradition. I wish I'd had time to make Chex Mix, but, meh.
We do an Italian Christmas Eve meal - ravioli (homemade by some tiny elderly Italian women), Italian spinach (my specialty), salad, rolls, tiramisu.
Christmas Day it's Chinese take out in honor of A Christmas Story and a day in bed watching Christmas movies.
I'm still wishing for ramekins and a blow torch for Christmas - I'd like to make creme brulee for everyone.
Creme Brûlée is my absolute favorite dessertOh y'all! Everything sounds so yummy. Doc Creed - that cake! skimom2 - COOKIES!

How do you prepare your shrimp?
Here's how I do the shrimp: frozen ring from Wal-Mart, $7.98. Thaw in fridge. I do kick it up a notch by purchasing extra cocktail sauce. I'm the lazy kind of scullery maid.
Oh gosh! I can so relate. I go to the Chinese food place in my fleece jammie pants and a sweat shirt. I do get bra'd up for the occasion. The Ogre and kids don't get dressed or leave the house.Creme Brûlée is my absolute favorite dessert
We have dinner at the MIL's Christmas Eve, then Christmas at my brother's house on Christmas day. We've donate Christmas dinner at ours for the last few years, but he wanted a chance to have a holiday in his new house, so there you are. The kids are already complaining about having to put on pants that day--lol! They've gotten used to lazing around all day, eating and watching movies. I'm sort of dreading the week between Christmas and New Years--our kids will all be home and will likely eat me out of house and home!
