Well it depends on which night for us.

Tonight for the Christmas dinner at my parent's house it's the traditional ham dinner. The only difference is that instead of mashed potatoes we are making something called yummy potatoes or funeral potatoes. It was my late mother-in-law's recipe and my family loves it.

Christmas Eve at my father-in-law's house we are having breakfast for dinner. While my husband and sister-in-law grew up they always had a red-green themed breakfast every Christmas. Since we don't meet in the morning any more, we now do the same for dinner instead. Basically it means homemade waffles green food coloring added in and strawberries topping, eggs with tomatoes and green peppers, and then bacon and orange juice. Simple yet filling.

Christmas we have everyone at our house for a bit to see the girls' gifts there. I do something different each year. It's always finger foods or simple foods along with desserts. This year I am doing Hawaiian haystacks and a fruit tray along with desserts.
