Christmastime is special and so are your family members and friends. It is worth the energy and extra thought needed to make the dining experience extra special, too. A traditional Christmas dinner menu can be a London Grille trio featuring lamb, beef filets, and smoked chicken or Beef Wellington. Our family choice, this year, is Veal Oscar made with veal chops topped with fresh crabmeat, steamed asparagus, and homemade Hollandaise sauce. Rosemary potatoes are a seasonal favorite, too. Christmas Eve involves planning because the dining times vary. There may be food served before and after services. Many families like a midnight breakfast in addition to dinner. Homemade pancakes are a tradition with mascarpone cheese and blueberry sauce with lemon zest. Another family favorite is to create a Belgium waffle buffet with raspberry Martinis for the adults. For all the glitz and intensity, it takes to reach the 24th – 25th, it is all worth it and we thank God for our many blessings as we embrace our family togetherness. Have a safe and delightful holiday season! © Kelly McBride Loft
