We usually had a live tree with ornaments students have given me over the years. Christmas Eve dinner was oyster stew, though it took a long time for our daughters and cousins to like it. Christmas day dinner was roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding, recipes from my British heritage.

Harriet -
Because we will be without family at our table this year, we have chosen to forego some heritage traditions (all time consuming) Toutiere (French-Canadian meat pie), Potica (Slovenian rolled sweet bread) and the giant pot of Polish in kraut. The giant Saturday-before-Christmas allergy-friendly cookie bake was of course cancelled. Tomorrow I will mini-bake - one easy cookie & 2 quick breads. Some will freeze for a remote New Years' celebration with friends.

@harriethodgson1 I am thinking about you today, Harriet. I hope this is a day of peace and joyful remembrance of times past.
