Christmas Eve dinner?...Everything. My sister is a pro. cook, and she went ALL OUT. We had everything from shrimp, to ham, to salmon, to 6 kinds of salad, etc., etc., etc. I'm so full that I can hardly move..

My in-laws always cook any meat to complete submission. So, I had overdone Beef Roast of some kind. The sides were all good, made a brocolli dish that actually turned out OK. One of the sis-in-laws makes a killer mashed potato dish, I'm sure it has artery choking amounts of butter in it. Unfortunately had to leave before desert... my 5 year old was acting up way too much, and I snapped. At least she didn't puke in the car.

SCORE!! I love tamales, and would trade a truckload of cookies for a dozen good ones. Sounds like you have a great relationship with the neighbors.

Last night, we fired up the BBQ and had steak, marinated in my secret mesquite sauce, baked potato, shallot buttered green beans (fresh), and a green salad.

Today, going to the in laws, and she's doing a prime rib (a cheap one, full of fat :barf: ). I'm cooking a black forest ham and taking it out there for my daughters and I to eat, fresh baked rolls and breads from a little bavarian bakery near me, and a few assorted salads.

...What did you all have to eat on this day before Christmas

We weren't very hungry so my wife VERY LIGHTLY seared a tuna steak and we dipped it in soy sauce and wasabe.

We have a 9 pound prime rib roast aging in the refrigerator (5 days) that we will have for Christmas and make French Dip sandwiches with the left over meat and juice.

We got together with a couple of other familes and somebody brought one of those chickens inside a duck inside a turkey ... (I've forgotten what those are called) that are put together down in Louisiana.
