We still celebrate the feast of the seven fishes on Christmas Eve. We usually have muscles, calamari, shrimp, crab cakes, clam chowder, and shrimp scampi with linguini. It isn’t a sit down dinner but more of a bunch of appetizers. We are from Rhode Island so we all grew up loving seafood. My children have carried on the tradition and the grandchildren look forward to it ever year.

“Pilgrims? Christmas?”
Yes & yes.
I’m fairly certain they ate most of the year and despite rumors to the contrary they ate more cod, more often than any other protein.

My grandmother used to make homemade head cheese from a pigs head every Christmas eve. I am glad my family has lost this tradition.

For Christmas day we hike around the local area and then...
Chinese buffet. No fuss. Lots of food.
We’ve been doing that for decades. Up until a few years ago I had never seen the “movie”... and the Peking duck scene.

The Pilgrims were Separatists not Puritans.
They celebrated Christmas.
The Captain of the Mayflower broke out a barrel of beer in honor of the day.
