What are some Christmas Eve dinner ideas for a family of 3 ?

Not a turkey dinner because that is what my family and I are having for Christmas Day dinner. I live in Regina, Canada, if that matters.What are some Christmas Eve dinner ideas for a family of 3 ?That depends on what you guys like to eat and if you want it to be very elegant or casual. In my family it's become a recent tradition that everybody gets their favorite kind of pizza. We all like different kinds of pizza, and from different places, so this is the one time of year no one ends up angry if we get pizza. It sounds silly, but it's a lot of fun. Of course, that can be expensive depending on what kind of pizza or where it's from.

Before this tradition, we've kept it simple. Everyone is just so busy on Christmas Eve and nervous/excited about the next day that no one cares about making a fancy dinner. If that's the case in your family, think simple. Something you could cook in a crockpot, boxed mac and cheese, frozen dinners, take out, sandwiches, soup. If you have more time, like the pizza thing, let everyone pick the one dish they want and just make it. Who cares if dinner ends up being waffles, french fries, and mashed potatoes? I'm afraid I can't really help you if you want elegant ideas, though. Anyway, good luck, and Merry Christmas!What are some Christmas Eve dinner ideas for a family of 3 ?
If there are only 3 of you, if your looking for a traditional type dinner, with turkey, ham, dressing, veggie sides, and such its easier, MUCH less expensive, and actually pretty tasty to pre-order your food from a deli. All you have to do is pick it up, put it in your own nice dishes, light a few candles and use some nice napkins and it will look and taste like you spent all day cooking!

However....... if you want to go a different direction I would do something the whole family can take part in, and everyone pick two dishes they love and are willing to make, then let them research the best recipes for the dish like on allrecipes.com or another recipe site and let everyone make a couple of their favorites. This will make everyone feel like they have helped, and are a part of it, and to make it even more fun take votes on the best dishes, and reward with gift cards or something fun!What are some Christmas Eve dinner ideas for a family of 3 ?You should make party food like little sandwiches and sausage rolls,dips,chips that kinda thing and drink hot chocolate by the fire with marshmallows and chestnuts then go to your local pub!!!! Something quick and easy to make, you don't want anything too rich because you will have enough of that on Christmas and over Christmas xxxx
