We're making smelts, squid, aglia olio, shrimp scampi and baked haddock filets. My daughter has to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but my son and his family - 6 or 7 of them - will be joining us for Christmas Eve. It's just the two of us for Christmas dinner so I'm taking the easy way out. I'm making ham, kielbasi, potato salad, cole slaw and BBQ beans - picnic food. After the big clean-up on Christmas Eve the last thing I want to do is make a big meal the next day. I made two kinds of cookies and DH got nut and poppyseed rolls from the church ladies' bake sale so that's dessert.
