Nothing too exciting. We prepared mediocre Thai food. Thai is a good compromise; it's something a little different but most people will try it. (I know too many people who refuse to try Western food and will only eat Indian.) The coconut curries are also exceptionally easy to prepare, which is good for a holiday like Christmas when we have no help around the house. (The maids have the day off. Yes, I have maids. Two of them.)
As I noted, the results were mediocre. For some reason, the chicken curry was not as good as it normally is--still nice, though. We ran out of eggs, so the fried rice was a little dull. And for some reason, I am hopeless with noodles. They always say, "Cooks in X minutes," but after X+5 minutes, mine are never ready, and then when I do whatever needs to be done with them, they don't really turn out all the great, certainly not like anything you'd get in a good or even just decent restaurant. I am great with pasta, but for some reason I can't get Asian noodles to turn out right. That's a pity as I really like them.
No special dessert as my wife has been baking nonstop the past week or so and we've been pigging out on cookies and cakes. She's a great baker.
Christmas is so much more than food, of course, and all in all it was a great day.
