I am also making this Christmas soup this year <a href="http://altonbrown.com/christmas-soup-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://altonbrown.com/christmas-soup-recipe/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-eat-for-christmas-eve-dinner#post-1996343 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:45:41 +0000 Jess1483 1996343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family always does spaghetti with homemade sauce--easy and fast, but delicious. We will do the same this year. We thought about changing the tradition for our family, but I couldn't figure out something else I could mostly prepare ahead of time (sauce) that I could finish quickly when we return from church. So spaghetti it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-eat-for-christmas-eve-dinner#post-1996341 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:44:53 +0000 Charm54 1996341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom makes fish chowder, meat pies and homemade pizzas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-eat-for-christmas-eve-dinner#post-1996340 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:44:31 +0000 sapphire 1996340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually make something in the crockpot before we go out and look at some Christmas light displays.
