I just have a few minutes so I thought I’d pop on here and do a quick, no picture blogmas post. Today’s topic is Christmas Menu and that’s convenient as I’m getting ready to go to the store. Rather, my husband is taking me to the store since G took my car to work.
Our Christmas Eve Menu
Since J is playing at the candlelight service and needs to be at church by 4 with the service at 5, our plan is for taco soup in the crockpot. We’ll probably just plan on a late lunch at Subway (exciting, I know) so that we can enjoy church without worrying about everyone being hungry.
I debated getting an ice cream cake to have as dessert. Still on the fence as we have lots of cookie goodness floating around here at the moment.
Christmas Menu
Just got off the phone with my brother a bit ago. Finalized plans are dinner around 4p.m.
So, I’ll probably pick us up some million dollar cinnamon rolls from a local bakery for breakfast. Unless, my brother-in-law and his wife decide to come for breakfast, then it’ll be my husband making biscuits and gravy. Stay tuned.
Lunch will be snacks. Leftover soup.
Dinner at my brother’s house: Spaghetti, meatballs, salad, garlic bread. Cheesecake and pumpkin pie for dessert along with chocolate pie (my contribution by request). We’ll take some cookies. And I’m planning to make an odd *doesn’t really go with spaghetti but we talked about it at Thanksgiving* jello salad my mom used to make. And homemade whipped cream for the pumpkin pie.
Not exactly traditional but I’m looking forward to it.

Hope whatever is on the menu for your Christmas meal, it’s delicious and your holiday is wonderful!
We’re going non-traditional for Christmas dinner too this year. The plan is for tacos, as voted for by the boychildz at Thanksgiving. I need to get to the store one last time though and our current winter storm might prevent that, so our backup plan is spaghetti.
It’s funny, because 2 or 3 years ago we tried doing a more casual meal (sloppy joes that year) and none of us ended up liking Christmas that way. I’m curious how we’ll feel this year.
Merry Christmas!!
I prefer traditional Christmas meals (more leftovers) but I’m not complaining if I don’t have to cook the “big” meal and just bring a pie. Hope the roads were cleared enough for your family to come home!
EVERYTHING goes with spaghetti! 😀 We ended up doing a traditional (for us) prime rib when I ran across an awesome last minute deal and a VERY accommodating butcher who cut me a VERY small prime rib. I’ve already cut up the left overs for our traditional black-eyed pea chili for New Year’s Eve.
The spaghetti was so good. My jello salad thing ended up being more of a dessert item that only my one brother and I ate. My other brother and the rest of the family that was there didn’t like that salad (It was a very divisive jello salad in our family, ha!) but we enjoyed it. Oh, thanks for reminding me that I need to pick up some black-eyed peas for New Year’s. I have a few that I grew in the garden but not enough, I’ll need to supplement.
