My family clebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve. We realized a few years ago that none of us really like Turkey all that much, so we started to have everyone bring something that they know everyone will enjoy. My mom usually brings salmon, my sister salads, (Caesar and a Pasta salad), my other sister a lasagna, my brother usually brings appetizers, olives, smoked oysters etc; my wife gets some wonderful breads, cheeses & fruits and some baking potatos, I pick up a few Curry & Roti's from our favourite Roti place in Toronto, often we have a Sushi platter. We try to have our favourite things as it is a very special day.
