Earlier in the season, Judy, a long-time reader of this blog, asked how we spend Christmas Eve and Christmas. I replied, but why not expand on that reply, and describe a typical, traditional Zeiger Family Homestead Christmas, which we are celebrating right now?

While we visit friends through the Christmas season, which for us stretches from the day after Thanksgiving until Epiphany, January 6th, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are often just the three of us, unless family comes to visit.
We try to finish with town trips by December 23rd if possible (see A Blank Slate). As a rule, we are all home for good by Christmas Eve morning.
On Christmas Eve I make the traditional oyster stew, which Aly and I love. Michelle loves it because it means she can make something special for just her, usually tamales.
