Chips and Dips, antipasto, sesame glazed meatballs, mini hot ham sandwiches, enchiladas, maybe shrimp cocktail, fruit plate, veggie wreath,rum cake and cheese cake -
We're hosting Christmas Eve and doing Mexican:
homemade tamales
Mexican rice (MIL making)
beans (MIL making)
some kind of green salad or a jicama/orange salad
Avocado/tomato salad
pickled red onions
couple of kinds of homemade salsasI also kinda want to make pozole, but we'll see if there is time.
Not 100% sure about desserts yet.
Start with some themed cocktails of some sort as well.
