Italian Christmas Eve Dinner

Well, its Christmas time once again.  I feel like this time comes quicker and quicker each year.  This is one of my favorite times of year.  Celebrating Jesus birthday!!  Yes we are having a happy birthday Jesus cake this year. 
We have so many awesome family traditions around this time of year.  I'd love to hear some of your family traditions, so leave a comment with your traditions in it.
Tonight, we have our Christmas Eve dinner at my Aunt Carol's house.  I think this is the 67th year or something close to that.  We have the traditional Italian 7 fish dinner.  Each year its a bit different, but we always have stuffed calamari....so delicious!!!!  I wait all year for it.  We usually also have shrimp scampi, salmon, tilapia, and enough other fish to get us to 7 different fish.  I really don't know how my Aunt Carol does it.  There are usually about 25 of us at the dinner so its a pretty big dinner.  We of course also have antipasta, pasta, and appetizers.  The pasta is either in a crab or clam sauce.  I LOVE the crab sauce. 
Poor Jim hates all seafood so he ends up eating antipasta, some pasta, and jello.  But he loves the tradition. 
I'll write more about what we do on Christmas later because that needs its own post as well. 

Hope you all have a merry Christmas!!!!!
