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. I'm Lithuanian on the paternal side. As near as I can tell, my fathers' name was actually Brownislaus Jakoveckus before his father changed the family name after coming to the US to leave his homeland just before WWI.

"Children whining should be ignored" is a great way to deal with a lot of children, even grown children.
