Talked with hubby and Brandon about meal plans. Since Brandon and Marti are making the traditional type meal on Christmas Eve, I will go untraditional for Christmas day and make enchiladas. One pan of chicken and one beef.

The last couple of years I’ve been making the Christmas eve dinner… And nobody has died, yet. My brother and his family come over on the eve and the wife's family comes over on Christmas day. One year the wife got very ill and I had to make Christmas eve dinner. Since then she has mandated I make the dinner. One of these years I’ll have to pull that sick trick..
I make Pepper Steak in a slow cooker. Wake up early and get it ready, go to work and when I come home make the rice, bacon wrapped shrimp, salad, and bread. Christmas day is just something easy to throw together, nothing special.
Here is the recipe I use. Comes out rather good. I cut the london broil into long strips, and the peppers and onions are cut long instead of chopped.

You'll drill your eye out, kid......and with you out of the way, I could have power tools!

sounds great
Maybe i make gratinated Chicken breast with potatoe gratin and a spicy Paprika sauce
That sounds fantastic; I will be making this. Thanks for the link. I have recently started making more meals using the crockpot...it's just so simple. I actually enjoy cooking. Like you said, you can come home from work and everything is ready.

Merry Christmas to all of my friends from the Board:
To those who believe in the birth of our Lord,
To those who hope Santa Claus thinks they've been nice,
Their names on a list which he always checks twice.
The joys of the season and Festivus cheer
I wish you good fortune throughout the New Year.
No matter the holiday you celebrate,
Whatever your time zone, I hope that it's great.
That sounds so good!! I usually use grape jelly and mustard as a sauce for the cocktail sausages. I love Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce though. I'm gonna try it your way next time!
For Christmas Eve, I'll make ribeye steaks, loaded baked potatoes, a salad, and rolls. Dessert will be made from scratch red velvet cake with cream cheese icing.
Munchkin is vegetarian, so I'll do a spaghetti squash for her.
Christmas night is snacky foods, and leftover salad stuff.....and more red velvet cake.
Yours sounds like good eats, too. I was telling Cat it was about time I had a nice ribeye.
I think you'll like the BBQ version. I saw people did a tangy meatball version as well. Red velvet cupcakes are perfect for Christmas...yum.
Well yeh it must be interesting things change. With adult children.. not that I whould know
Come on up to the mountain......well have plenty!Yours sounds like good eats, too. I was telling Cat it was about time I had a nice ribeye.

We are having the usual food. I was thinking of making a Yule log but not shure I will have time.
I have been spending to much money for Christmas presents for my self. Opps. Wrapping is not a huge issue for me as I just shove them into a gift bag. I started out with not much for mom but I shure have stuff know.
May you all have a Merry Christmas!!
The Christmas in the 90's when I was a kid was wonderful, I still have so much lovely memories from those times. We went to Christmas church, ate
good food, and Christmas evening's highlight was when Santa Claus came and gave us gifts. I actually believed in Santa Claus until I was 12 years old. Then
the truth came out who it was.
Now as an adult the Christmas goes still with the routine that we ( my family)go to the Christmas Church and eat food after that, and give gifts to each other.
But without the Santa Claus.
and this year will be special when I have Star in my life. It's going to be great to go the stable Dec 24th to feed the horses and go and ride after that. With snow on the ground. Yes this year will be a white Christmas for us.

Oh yes. Tacos are a staple around here.
We will have them tonight, I think!
Last night, unfortunately, I had to stop at a mall for some last minute Christmas items and three tins because the wife added new Christmas cookies to her baking repertoire. Upon entering I dropped some money into the Salvation Army bucket. The bell ringer lady talked my ear off for over 15 minutes. I really need to work on my Bah Humbug look.
