Thanks so much for this. I am Lithuanian on the maternal side. Until just a few years ago, we had only seafood on Christmas Eve. It has always been our big celebration, not on Christmas Day. We do, however, have the exotic seafood! We still do not have turkey, ham or roast but have added lasagna recently.

We also do the wafer thing although not in the order prescribed in the link. It's just kind of a free for all after my father prays.

My favorite line, "Children whining should be ignored!"

Am passing this on to the family!

You're very welcome.
It's only as I get older (and wiser?) that I realize how significant and important traditions are for all of us.
PS. I was born in Lithuania and grew up in the greatest country in the world - the USA
