What are you planning on eating? My go-to junk food is take out, and pretty much everywhere is closed or only offering a special Christmas style meal- family sized, of course . I need some inspiration for what I want to get if I'm just going to the store.
I bought frozen lasagne for dh and I. I don’t know if you like Chinese, but many Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas. We will do Chinese on New Year’s Eve or day because I won’t cook.
Not alone but just DH and myself. We thought of stuff we like but don't usually buy or at least not often. Shrimp, chips & dip, salami, cashews.
It is suppose to be rainy 1-2 inches and wind up to 50 mph. Had planned to pick up Chinese food. But are getting Chinese for lunch tomorrow and will snack Christmas Day.
It’s just me and I’m going to cook a small turkey breast and make a green bean casserole. I wasn’t going to do anything but it upset my daughter to think that I wasn’t going to have a special meal. Such a crazy year!
Just reminded myself of my first holiday alone. I joined the army and spent my first holiday in South Korean with no real friends or family. I cooked myself ragu spaghetti in a crock pt and cries through my meal. This was back before computers, and phone calls were expensive. No meal after that was eve so lonely.
Puts things a little in perspective for me. I came from a close family that did every holiday together. About 50 people to just me in a barracks room.
We're picking up a "holiday" meal from a local restaurant. It will be ready to just heat and eat on Christmas Day. DH and I are both getting pretty tired of cooking so we're taking the day off.
I guess it depends on whether you want a traditional type meal and the types of restaurants available in your area....but it seems to me that I’d eat whatever I darn well pleased!
It’s DD and I but my ovens been weird so I adored food from Boston Market. I’ll pick it up tomorrow, supplement it with sides from the grocery store and enjoy dessert. I think it I weren’t in the mood for a traditional meal (they had turkey, ham and prime rib), I might order take out from my favorite restaurant and reheat the next day
It’s just me. I considered ordering something special, but couldn’t find anything that sounded tasty. Maybe I’ll bake a potato and cook some chicken. Or maybe I’ll skip the whole thing. I’m leaning to the latter.
We just hit Costco right before closing - so it wasn't too crowded. We bought the meatloaf/mashed potato premade meal for Christmas Day. On Christmas Eve we're having soup and French bread. We also bought a dessert (wanted their new Yule Log because I'd heard the leftovers would freeze well but they were out so we bought Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake) that we'll eat over several days. Everything was Costco size so we'll be eating for several days and freezing some leftovers.
Thanks for the posts. I had Culver's for lunch today and bought all of the fixings for nachos from the store. Just sounded good . For tomorrow I bought cinnamon rolls for the morning and stuff for chili cheese coneys for later in the day. I had coneys on Thanksgiving too- I'm just not super creative I guess.
