It looks like Christmas at our house this year is going to be just us,
our son and his girlfriend. That is not enough people for a turkey and
I am going to be lobbying for prime rib.

The tricky one this year may be Christmas Eve. We traditionally have
tourtiere or a beef and mushroom pie and salad, and he always invite my
nephew and his significant other. He discovered this year that he has a
serious diabetes problem and has to be very careful about the starches
he eats. I would be happy to switch to a more Catholic dinner with
seafood but I am not sure how well that would go over with his SO and
her daughter.
