Greetings from Carrboro,
There isn’t a consensus around timing. At least our 
limited survey doesn’t offer one. Some families have their big Christmas meal on the 24th and then spend the 25th in pajamas eating cookies and fudge and watching Die Hard. Others choose something easy for Christmas Eve so that any requisite wrapping actually is accomplished pre-5am and then have their big meal mid Christmas Day. It’s sort of what we expected; six of one, half dozen of the other.
But there is a clear consensus around delicious. And festive. And easy.
Especially this year. Because – let’s be real – December 2020 has a we-so-so-SO-deserve-it quality. I was flooded with that feelingwatching frontline workers get vaccinated. God that felt good. I certainly don’t have to tell you that this year has been hard. But I am here to tell you that your Christmas Dinner doesn’t have to be.
