[QUOTE="GETMETOCA, post: 707042, member: 28996"] First of all, THANKS Papakieth for that pastry recipe, I've been looking for something like that for a while! :thumb: In the early years, we got to open one present each on Christmas Eve and it was always difficult to pick out THE ONE. I can also distinctly remember pleading with my Dad to put out the fire in the fireplace so as not to burn Santa's ass when he came down the chimney. Mom would let my sister and I make a plate of cookies for Santa and we'd set it out. I remember sneaking back out to "peek" at the tree and seeing Mom and Dad eating the cookies and Dad downing the milk, ahhhh the truth comes out. Christmas morning would come and my sister and I would run and jump on Mom and Dad's bed and wake them up at 5 am so we could get going on those packages! Mom would make coffee and hot cross buns and we would have a fruit wreath from the bakery on Main Street too. Dad would start the fireplace back up again so we could burn all the wrapping paper. Later on we'd have our two Grandma's over for a nice Christmas dinner, usually a Leg of Lamb with roasted potatoes and lots of other good stuff that Mom made. Now that we're all older and my sister has a husband and three boys the traditions have changed. The oldest nephew, Nick, was born on Christmas Eve, so now we all celebrate his birthday with a big Crab Cioppino dinner with about 10-15 relatives. For those of you unfamiliar with Crab Cioppino, its a WHOLE LOTTA CRAB cooked in a spicy red broth, you eat it with your hands and a little pick. Everyone wears plastic bibs and we have big paper bags on the floor to throw the shells. Lots of Garlic Bread and Salad and good wine too, but mainly a whole lotta crab. So Nick opens his birthday presents after dinner and if you still have room there's cakes and pies and coffee and maybe some ammaretto. The other two boys get to open one Christmas gift each too and we all laugh and joke and catch up on local news. Christmas morning everyone's over at my Mom and Dad's for the rest of the presents and Christmas Morning Brunch, which I am usually in charge of the menu. This year its Eggs Benedict, Fruit, Smoked Ham, Sausages, Cranberry Scones with Lemon Curd, and juice/coffee. I'm thinking about making those Butter-Bright Pastries too ;) MERRY CHRISTMAS!! [/QUOTE]
