<p>Not sure, but we might see a movie. Maybe not though as kiddo is due to arrive tomorrow!</p>
<p>Had the Chinese food last night. Our synagogue has a movie event planned, and then I’m off to the airport to pick up D who is arriving for a couple of weeks. :)</p>
<p>We’re going to PF Changs tonight - and driving around the next suburb where they have a tradition to light luminaria throughout the town. With rain and slushy snow predicted, not sure how nice it will be, but we’ll give it a try. We’ll also drive around looking at holiday lights - upscale neighborhoods means elaborate decor.</p>
<p>Having friends over. We’re making lobster and brussel sprouts w/pancetta tonight. Friends are bringing apps & dessert. Playing poker after. </p>
<p>No canned crab? ;)</p>
<p>At some point along the way I decided I could give up pork and shellfish. Dim sum was the true loss. 
I do console myself with sesame balls and egg custard.</p>
<p>Definitely having Chinese tomorrow, just not sure about a movie. S2 gets in tonight and I’m not sure if he’d rather go to the movies or watch sports on TV.</p>
<p>Anyone read this book?<a href=“UCI historian publishes ‘Chop Suey, USA: The Story of Chinese Food in America’ – UCI News”>http://news.uci.edu/press-releases/uci-historian-publishes-chop-suey-usa-the-story-of-chinese-food-in-america/</a> Our local journalist is planning an article on the subject.</p>
<p>We would usually be going the Chinese food route but we are actually going to a professional basketball game with a noon start. How many non-Jews would be leaving their house at 10 a.m. on Christmas morning? We got the tix free from one of DH’s business contacts, 4 rows off the floor with access to the dining club with all the gourmet food you can stuff in your face, LOL. Since the team stinks, we’ll probably spend a lot of time sampling everything we can get our hands on in the food area. :)</p>
<p>We are picking our younger son up at the airport late this afternoon and, yes, stopping for Asian food on the way home. Close enough to Chinese food I guess. </p>
<p>“No canned crab?”</p>
<p>No canned crab. 
</p>
<p>H did ask if we should get some frozen corn on the cob <em>shuddering at the thought</em> </p>
<p>Momof3sons - I’ve spent a few Christmases at the Knicks game when I was in college. What else would 3 Jewish new Yorkers do? But we were in the nosebleed seats.</p>
<p>We are having our traditional Christmas Eve party. Honeybaked ham and turkey, vegetarian lasagne, some veggies…and so we can do the trifectah of non kosher…shrimp in dill sauce.</p>
<p>We went to the annual party at our daughter’s boyfriend’s parents’ house. His mom and family are Christian … and get Chinese. So I got both worlds.</p>
