Merry Christmas Eve!

20 Comments
I don't have any recipes to share this year because I decided (after 20 years of cooking Christmas Eve dinner) to give myself a present and have tonight catered - nothing extravagant, just good food from a small local restaurant.  I even went to Fulton's and purchased high quality disposable plates.  I'm feeling a bit guilty, but extremely relaxed and am actually looking forward to being part of the celebration this year. I want to wish all our contributors and commenters a wonderful holiday and thank them for making DL a great place to hang out! So... what are everyone's plans?  And if your cooking, feel free to share your amazing recipes!
