My parents used to have a light soup supper, and then we'd stay up and
go to the candlelight Christmas Eve service around 11pm, ending around
12:30am. Then, it would be home for a "snack" which was a platter full
of the treats my mother had made - Finnish Christmas tarts, date bars,
and the like, along with punch, served in the fancy crystal punch bowl.
There was always strong Finnish coffee as well.

Now, it's just a soup supper, and then off to sing for the money to buy
that supper.
