Christmas Eve centers around church services. Dinner is often Cornish game hens. They don't take very long to roast and are something special. I only make them for Christmas Eve.
Christmas day dinner is often prime rib at my sister's house. Everyone bakes special cookies and goodies to share. Spritz and snowball cookies, toffee bars, krum kaka, sandbakelse, lefse, water pail candy ( brown sugar fudge) and lots of chocolate and nuts. (Norwegian and German heritage).
My mother, sisters and I exchanged quilt blocks for Christmas for many years. (I have blocks for 3 quilts). Hand made gifts are always part of Christmas.
