Christmas eve is not what it used to be now that my grandparents are gone but we used to eat only fish. then we would go to the midnight mass and when we came back there was a roast pig waiting for us. yummmy!!
Christmas day we normally have stuffed veal roast or Prime rib.

on christmas day we make the rounds to friends and family--but we also make the stop at my moms as well

Re: what do you eat on Christmas eve/Christmas day?
Christmas eve is at my sis's house, and we have pernil, rice & black beans, tostones, empanadas, mashed potatoes, red cabbage and some type of vegetables. Crazy mix of Cuban/German Christmas Day is not the same since my mom died, we have all gone our separate ways ( ). This year we have been invited to close friends, so she and I will cook and bake.

I go to my ILs for Christmas Eve because they do the whole fish thing. I don't eat fish, so my MIL makes me chicken cutlets...lol.
Christmas day is usually ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, and some vegetable.

Christmas Eve we make every fish imaginable...calamari, lobsters, fish salad, shrimp cocktail, breaded shrimp, baccala etc. and yummy homemade pizza!
Christmas Day is either a lasagna or tortellini with soup and either chicken or filet mignon with lots of yummy sides
Just thinking of all this food is making me hungry!

Re: what do you eat on Christmas eve/Christmas day?
On Christmas eve, my Dad usually cooks a bunch of little appetizers. I LOVE that. DH's family does the big Italian seafood dinner so we'll be going over there for seafood (which I don't eat) & then to my parent's house for the rest of the night.
On Christmas Day, my family usually does a big Italian meal with manicotti, chicken parm, etc.

Re: what do you eat on Christmas eve/Christmas day?
Christmas Eve- We do the traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner with DH's family. Dinner usually is about 6 courses starting with the appetizer which usually is mostly fish. Then, we have pasta dish with a fish sauce. Then, we have fish salad, then my personal favorite LOBSTER!!!!, after that we have more fish. Traditionally there are 7 fishes, but DH's aunt makes about 13.
Christmas Day- Usually pasta followed by ham, turkey, or roast with potatoes, broccoli, and biscuits.

Re: what do you eat on Christmas eve/Christmas day?
I hate christmas eve dinner (bad fish allergy, so I always end up eating mashed potatoes and some overcooked veggie )
before the polish christmas eve, mom and I would eat duck (our version of a mini-goose), followed by mulled wine and christmas cookies
