    It’s my first ever Christmas alone. Still making an 8 lb ham and a nice spread of food for dinner. Will be making sandwiches and bean soup with the leftover ham. Otherwise just wallowing in self pity and doom swiping on dating sites in hopes that I won’t be alone next year.

    A quiet evening with my wife. We’re making a Sichuan-style hot pot.

    I’m going to spend Christmas Eve (the day that we celebrate Christmas in Sweden) with my family and cousins. I’d guess that’ll be fine, however I don’t know everyone that well so I’m not too excited for it

    For me personally, I’m gonna stay up for Christmas Eve and watch NORAD Tracks Santa.

    Always is a great pass time to watch Santa’s journey across the world, and is also a great tool to know his location and to know when he will arrive in your location/area. It’s one of the best things of the Christmas season for sure!

    Going to a nursing home to visit my grandmother today, then preparing some of the dinner for tomorrow. Tomorrow doing the whole Santa gifts routine, preparing the dinner and moving furniture around to prepare for guests. Have dinner, have some fun with the guests, then relax the rest of the day and watch TV.

    I will cook some Cornish game hens, asparagus with garlic, mashed potatoes with garlic, maybe bread rolls. Dessert will be eggnog and chocolate peppermint cookies.

    My wife and I pick a country each year and plan our Christmas Eve dinner to make of food from that country. This year we picked The Gambia so it is going to be domoda (peanut stew) and thiakry (millet couscous pudding).

    Currently we are decorating the tree then when everyone is here we will eat Hochzeitssuppe and Zungenragout (literal translation would be wedding soup and tongue ragout) which are traditional christmas dishes in our family. Then we open the presents (in Germany you open them usually on Christmas Eve). Tomorrow we will eat roast goose with braised red cabbage and potato dumplings.

    So overall just hanging out with family and eating.
