Glad I read this thread; guess I initially thought it would be boring & all
similar to what I grew up with. And not one poster had my childhood
Christmas Eve fare. We always went to early church, returned home for both
oyster stew and chili, did dishes & then opened gifts. There was also a
table full of sweet goodies Mom had made & decorated with specialties
requested by each child, grandchild & in-law. What a feast & festival! kat
