"Traditional" Xmas Eve meal for us: all things fishy

oysters and fresh frutti di mare, langostinos, lox, rye bread and blinis, and salted butter. We put everything on the table and everyoe picks what he/she likes. The dessert is usually an ice cream, either vanilla if self made, or salty caramel if I find one.

Xmas day: I make a huge thanksgiving turkey with an old Delia Smith recipe (I know, I get the dates all mixed up

, but we love that recipe) with a chestnuts and apple filling, cranberry sauce on the side, and rosmarin potatoes. No dessert as we usually cannot eat, speak, walk for the next week after that

.

The presents are opened on the Xmas Eve, the french way.

Oh, and Xmas time is Johann Sebastian Bach (my personal God) time. I listen to Bach all the time, but at Xmas we all listen together and that is nice .

How is your Xmas going to be ?
