Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays, more because of the traditions than anything else. Christmas Eve in my family has always been a tribute to my Slovak heritage and the good food that has been passed down to share with family and friends. Ryan and I started the majority of our Christmas Eve dinner prep today by going to Los Gatos Meats & Smokehouse, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Safeway and finally Bed Bath & Beyond.
We did some food prep this evening - some of the appetizers, tiramisu and homemade eggnog. I’ve also found that it’s a lot easier to set the formal table the night before so I can concentrate on cooking the next day. Ryan snapped some pictures of the table setup which I’m pretty impressed with.

Happy holidays!
