My grandma also always made Lutefisk. Fucking disgusting lol

Always a harrowing experience because we'd stall eating it for so long it'd get cold.

Looked and tasted like snot at that point.

I think if I was faced with eating it or starving, I'd chose starvation

We always had chili and oyster stew on Christmas Eve growing up. I don't like oyster stew.

Hope you liked Chilli.

Same other than I like oysters, even from a can. You’re the first person I’ve “met” outside of my family with this tradition.

I'm pretty blessed. All of my adult children (5) still come back for Christmas eve and day. We do a prime rib (found a good one for 12.99LB this year) for Christmas Eve and then hang out. Still open presents on christmas day.

It will end soon but till then I'll enjoy every moment...and then be thankful when they all go back to their homes in the end. LOL

My mom tried oyster stew on Christmas Eve. When no one besides her and my dad would eat it, she gave up. She then switched up to clam chowder and that was a big hit.

She used to also put those shitty giblets in gravy and stuffing at Thanksgiving. She and my dad ate it, the rest of us just picked that shit out.

My other grandma when she was living, would always host and make oyster stew (from a can), chilli and then we'd have ham and turkey sandwiches to go with

Growing up, Christmas Eve was a whatever you want to eat for dinner, nothing special. Christmas day was spent opening presents in the AM, then driving to a relatives house (it rotated) to spend the rest of the day listening to my aunties and uncles bitch and moan about how disappointed us kids were that we didn't get EVERYTHING we asked for, followed by my dad and his brothers going outside to "partake" in smoking pine trees to ease the pain of it all.

I sometimes wish I didn't work for the government so I could keep that tradition going...the "trees"
