Holiday meal traditions

[Sleek-Jet]

Used to be a full on Ham dinner at Grandma's house, eat all day with the main meal late afternoon... Presents in the morning at Mom's house, Christams Eve was at Dad's ...
But since moving down here, it become a bottle of Scotch, chips and dip, along with some brats on the grill about sundown. Gotta love a bachelor holiday...
... I think I'll go to the lake this year.

Christmas Eve is always traditional mexican food, beer, and tequila. Beans, shredded beef tacos, sopa, Albondagas soup, tostadas, chicken and beef tamales, chili verde and cheese enchiladas, and flan for dessert... My mom also makes pumpkin, apple, coconut cream, and lemon marange pies...
Christmas day is always Roast, honey baked ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans w/bacon, sucatash, salad, several types of breads, stuffing, beer, wine, and a little more tequila.. My mom makes more of the same pies as well...
Nice having a family that can cook really well
IT'S LIKE 3 DAYS OF HEAVEN !!!!
I'm sooooo hungry just thinking about it!!!
As far as Santa goes.... Either my brother or I dawn the fat man's suit and play the roll for the kids Christmas eve...lol ... Over the last couple years the neighbors have asked us to do a quick stop from "Santa" after we're done at my house... It's pretty cool, and we usually walk away with more booze
This year we'll be at my sister's house in San Diego since they have a newborn...
GOTTA LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!!
Did I mention that I'l hungry over here!
