well, I'm still set for Christmas day food but...

Christmas Eve menu is a mess. I was going to do shrimp scampi, then crab cakes, then chicken marsala... but I really need to do something that's relatively easy and that I can possibly do the night before.

So now I think I am going to do a baked ziti and meatballs in the crock pot. It is so much easier but so NOT fancy.

Any thoughts on how to dress it up or what I can add to make it fancy? I AM going to use my china, I don't care if it's basically spagetti and meatballs, lol. I am going to do a ceasar salad and a nice bread too.

Is that totally rediculous for Christmas Eve dinner? It is dh and me, my mom, sister and her fi and my two kids.
