Food for Christmas Eve….Jesus dinner ….in Christmas Jammie’s, red tablecloth over ottoman, lights off except candles on ottoman, then nativity with costumes after dinner. Have mark be narrator…did a good job.
Eat:
Naan bread with garlic butter, fish sticks, hummus, sliced cheese, olives, cucumbers, grape juice, mixed nuts, grapes or raisins. Had cookies from neighbor for dessert…just plan on that or hot chocolate for dessert.
Christmas breakfast:
Rolls—try six sisters — did moms and 21 rolls was overflowing not dispersed with gooey stuff. Need layering instructions from six sisters. Only use 16 with 8 rolls first layer and 8 rolls next layer. Need to cover with foil half way through and only cook for 30 min I think.

Did sliced cucumbers for veggie
Made chocolate Bundt cake…not needed…do hot chocolate next time for dessert if anyone wants. It’s a good easy dessert though if need one. Put a bunch of crushed candy canes in it. SPrinkle with powdered sugar and spray with whipped cream when serving. A little overdone though…maybe lessen time a few minutes. I left out choc chips though…could also leave out chips and add peppermint chips. Ooo that would be so good.
