We’re having our Christmas tomorrow, since my kids go to their dad’s for Christmas this year.

Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner is a roast beef, with potatoes, onions and carrots, and yummy horseradish sour cream sauce.

For tomorrow, we serve a finger food buffet for Christmas dinner, so I’m out playing with the kids instead of in the kitchen. We’ll have smoked salmon (with cream cheese, capers, chopped boiled egg, and chopped red onion and triscuits to put it all on), cheeses (gouda, dill havarti, and a cheddar), crackers, shrimp and crab (with cocktail sauce and lemons), and I’ll make some tortilla rollups (we call them pinwheels) with the leftover roast beef from tonight, basil, and cream cheese.

For breakfast, we usually either have Eggs Benedict or a blueberry cream cheese strata (note to self: post recipes for these), but this year, I bought bakery cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing, just to keep things simple. My mom and my grown daughter will be sad about the lack of Eggs Benedict, but my kids are excited.
