The most traditional food for the 24th is boring as hell. It's wieners with potato salad. Why? Because you are supposed to go to church in the evening and the gifts are given later that same evening, not in the morning of the next day. That leaves little time to prepare something.
We never had that, nor did my parents. Because that's a shit Christmas dinner.
They both had turkey but they were from large households. Since we're just three people, we have duck instead. It's been that way all my life.
We also don't gift each other anything. I haven't gotten any gifts since I was 16. Neither for Christmas, nor for my birthday. That was my choice.
