I usually work Christmas eve, so we usually do appetizers and make them easy but tasty. Like this year i have some goat cheese wrapped in a cinnamon cranberry sauce that we'll put on some baguettes. That's just one thing. I have a few more things I'm thinking of, and then the boys love Trader Joes meatballs in their General Tsao sauce, so I might whip some of those up too. It's just going to be the 5 of us...my oldest is in Texas and can't come, and no other family.
Since Christmas day will be my first day off in a long time (and my boys are older so no one actually gets up for breakfast), I'm just going to have cinnamon rolls (from a can!!) with coffee and OJ.
Our tradition seems to always be appetizers on Christmas eve and then something sweet and easy Christmas morning. No big meal for just 4 of us though...my other son will be with his gf's family on Christmas day.
