Each year we have a themed food Christmas. This year it is Italian. We will be having Vegetable Lasagna & Beef Lasanga and Sweet & Hot Italian Sausages. And for dessert we will be having Italian cookies and Canoli's.

I just love how when I give romantic advice to friends, it really works.
If I were to take my own advice, I might be shot. Really, it's not fair.
My christmas dinner will consist of extra olives in my martinis.
Mmm, that sounds delicious Broadway.
My family is from southern Italy so on Christmas Eve we do the seven fishes. Huge family, a bunch of different kinds of pasta and seafood. It's always fantastic, but not as great as Easter with the frittata and Easter bread. I love being Italian.
on Christmas Day we always do ham. Dunno why. I never understood doing turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

All this talk of fine foods is making me hungry.
I remember lasts years Christmas. It was a Norwegian Christmas. The food consisted of a lot of Fish and different types of cheeses. I love fish so it was a delight. Some of the fish was quite strong as I remember.
Jaily, don't forge the brie.

I believe we will be having Brushetta as an appetizer.

I love Bruschetta!
I was supposed to be the cocktail mixer and random guy in tuxedo at a party this weekend, but it got cancelled. My friends never keep plans well.
I just can't do the brie thing. I don't know what it is about brie that just is not appealing to me.
I'm going to kick a little yappy dog across the room in about two seconds.
So excited about seeing Charlie Wilson's War tonight. Even if it is with my ex.
Geek, it's pretty rich. I can see why some people wouldn't like it.
Plus it's fattening as ****, so it's probably good if you don't like it.
Haha
More for me!

This year I will be able to consume the wine that is at my parents party. I will be 21. :) My parents are strict Catholics and would just die if they know that I really have my first taste of wine or alcohol at 16.

Haha! We're all Catholics over here. Crazy ones too.
Iheart, is that ex the geek?
Broadway Legend Joined: 12/31/69
We're catholic, and I'm pretty sure my parents just wouldn't care.
Although they have nothing to worry about. I don't even like the smell of alcohol. I don't want to ingest it. Foul stuff.
I think most Catholics are crazy.
Geek, Charlie Wilson's War looks so interesting. I'd love to see it (after I see Sweeney, which I have yet to see still!).
Any my parents seem to care less about alcohol. Occasionally, I'll be allowed to have some, but not normally.

turkey is traditional in the UK but we usually have beef because it seems daft that no one in my family really enjoys turkey lol. We put up with it for years... i always want duck but never win
Hey linniepie :)
*raises hand* Born Catholic here, though i'm disinclined to associate myself with it anymore. My family is insanely strict, but they're all alcoholics, which I find pretty ironic.
Yep, linnie, my ex is the geek that started it all. He even bought me a T-shirt for our first Valentine's Day together that said "I <3 My Geek". It's on thinkgeek.com, I believe.
We're doing a ham and a roast.
I had enough turkey for Thanksgiving.
It's my lunchtime!
Bye, girls!

I don't think I've ever had duck...a friend of mine is bringing some over later this week. I'll be thinking of you, Goggles!

Catholics-If only my parents knew how many Masses I missed this past year. I would be saying thousands of Hail Marys for that if it was up to my parents.

My dad is actually disappointed in me that I don't drink. That's a reason as to why I don't!
We're not good Christians here!
