I pretty much love any kind of meal! - Catie O'Leary
On Christmas Eve, we go to my Grandma's house for dinner and have meatloaf, potatoes and an assortment of Scandinavian foods since my Grandma and mom's side of the family is a mix of Norwegian and Swedish. To top it all off, we have Christmas cookies, key lime pie, cake, rice pudding, and a couple Scandinavian desserts such as Krumkake and Julekake. - Emily Neal
