We did finally manage to have our family Christmas, on New Year's Day. It was a fun and relaxing day for us all. Our older daughter was on call at the hospital and was called in for the morning. But she was back home by noon. We hadn't planned on the big meal until supper time so it worked out just fine. Our other daughter's husband had to work in the morning too, but he joined us by noon as well.
Our whole family likes seafood, so we've had a tradition now of a big seafood feast for our Christmas dinner. All the kids ate breaded shrimp along with homemade mac and cheese. I think they all at least tasted the crab, but a couple of them ate a lot of crab too. This year we had King crab, Snow crab, and Dungeness crab - 12 pounds steamed in total. Plus we had bread, some shrimp cocktail, and shrimp spring rolls. I made a cheesecake for dessert, and we had apple and pumpkin pie too. Yum!!!!
I took a LOT of static early in the day . . . because I did not make deviled eggs. I offered to make them there, but they let me off the hook - this time. Hey I did make the wreath shaped spritz cookies, and that is a yearly requirement for Christmas.
