How interesting! I grew up in Texas, USA. Growing up my mom, dad and siblings would get together with my Dad’s parents, my aunt and uncle, their children and have a meal on Christmas Eve. My grandparents hosted. We would have shrimp cocktail, ham, turkey, bread, some vegetable side dishes and homemade cranberry sauce. For dessert - homemade pralines, fudge, divinity and fruit cake . Also there was always homemade eggnog that my parents brought. Then we would go to the 11 pm Christmas Eve service celebrating Jesus birth and open Christmas presents the next morning!
