Christmas (Eve) dinner

[Hot Lunch]

We have a prime rib on Christmas day.

So do we. I love it.

Our Christmas Eve dinners have varied. My Mother-in-law really likes to have everyone over to her house. Decorating and entertaining is her thing, and I think she feels cheated if she doesn't get to host. Two years ago we tried to have a dinner at our home on Christmas Eve, and we could tell she wasn't happy about it.

Our rock-solid tradition has been Christmas morning breakfast at my parents, provided we were living in the same state or visiting for the holiday. Every year is exactly the same there:

Sticky buns
sausage (local Hi-Grade sausage req'd)
fried eggs
fresh-squeezed OJ
homemade grape juice

This year my parents are on a mission in South Africa so we will be cooking our own breakfast - all of the above included, except the grape juice.
