Okay, here's my plan.. Christmas Eve I cook for me, him, two step kids, youngest daughter, brother and sister in law. My daughter has to work. This is our BIG holiday meal and I'm really sad she will miss it. So I'll cook ham and chicken on Christmas Eve and my brother who's on Atkins will bring something green. I guess I'll have potatos and baked apples or something to go with it, dinner rolls. I'm just not that invested this year for some reason. It should be an easy meal to get through for me.

Christmas day will be prime rib just for me, him, eldest and youngest. No steps or other family. Another easy day. The hardest part will be the drinks. Maybe, actually, I'll Atkins it for these two days. I can probably skip the sweets, and then I can just be real careful to stick to white wine and spirits.

New Years we have me, him, brother and sis in law, and two friends for games etc. Don't have a clue what I'll be cooking then. sigh.. what are others doing? Please inspire me!!
