I imagine that if you do a couple of these a month, you get these things sorted. Meat and pastry just right. Has to be served with brine pickles and Colman’s mustard.

Christmas eve tortellini in broth.

Christmas Day the porchetta is ordered from the local farm, just got to pick it up.
Lasagne to start (mother in law is making it), tiramisu for dessert.

Mortadella, cheeses, Marsala wine all sorted for later in the day. 

huge Pandora to have with coffee later on.

Was going to ask if you didn't do Festa dei Sette Pesci on Christmas Eve, but apparently it is a North American Italian thing (based on la Vigilia of Southern Italy).

Will never forget cutting pounds and pounds of baccalla on the band saw ( and having to clean the band saw) for the nonnas in the weeks before.  

The rich Ital-Canadian kids I worked with would always have their lobster that night as well.


Our own food is pretty subdued this year. 
My nephew is back from playing hockey at a university in New York state briefly, so we are driving my mom the 5 hours up to Edmonton to see him on Christmas Day.  Driving while stuffed with Alberta holiday roads - not that smart. 


Will have some stuff with them that day and the few days after but it will mostly be finger stuff (a lot of the meat cheese bought from the deli I mention working at above.)

I'm doing tiramisu for Christmas day as well. Light pudding after a heavy meal. Boxing day is always cold cuts and fancy salads. I'll be making a big focaccia to go with that. Boxing day pudding is pineapple and stem ginger crumble. Christmas Eve I'll be busy running around doing errands, so I'll just put out cheese and crackers, charcuterie (hate that word) olives, fruit and pickles. I'll do some dry rub chicken wings, too, because there's some wings in the freezer I want to use up to make space.
