    It was our first time doing this since It was just 3 of us. It was well worth it. I was nervous about the food as I'm used to a very traditional celebration with greens, mac and cheese, ham, turkey and yams to name a few. They had turkey, prime rib, honey glazed salmon (I eat this all the time just not on this day), brussel sprouts, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, choice of salad (we had our favorite which is caesar, and butternut squash soup which was delicious. We also had 3 small desserts to include pumpkin pie (i never eat this but it was delicious), pecan pie and some sort of cake. They were small bites but enough to get full and all delicious. We also had spinach dip for an appetizer along with chilled shrimp. We had a great time. It's going to be hard not to do it again for Christmas or any other holiday.
