The Best Christmas Recipe Guide - UPDATED
Feast of the Seven Fishes - Shrimp Scampi
Photo source: Sip and Feast
"In Italy, it’s called La Vigilia di Natale, but here in the US, it’s known as no other than the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This time-honored tradition of preparing a delectable seafood banquet to commemorate Christ’s birth takes place on Christmas Eve and is heralded by Italian-Americans as one of the most important meals of the calendar year." Comment from Sip and Feast
My first choice for the seafood banquet would be shrimp scampi. That is all I would need! And a fresh loaf of Italian bread and some angel hair pasta. It is what I will be making for my Christmas Eve feast.

One of my favorite chocolate candies :)
This is one of those candies that is perfect for gift giving. Make a batch of these and package some up to have as a small gift of appreciation to the hostess of a party or for someone who has come to visit you, etc. It is always a good idea to have plenty of these type of little gifts on hand for all types of situations.
