My Wisconsin mother of Yankee descent made oyster stew for Christmas Eve, as
I recall. We kids did not like the oysters, so we just ate the soup and left
the oysters for our parents! My father and his family of Holland Dutch
descent ate herring for good luck on New Year's Eve. The Owen County story
we have includes a lump of coal for a foster child, so Christmas is not
always rosy.

My grandmother's family was from Indiana, she always called herself a
Hoosier
though she lived in Iowa all her life.
Grandma made Oyster Stew on Christmas eve - a milk base and lots of oyster
crackers.
On Christmas day, besides the huge dinner, she always made an Angel food
birthday cake - for the Christ child.
The woven cornucopia basket was the centerpiece at dinner - filled with
fruit
and nuts to accompany the birthday cake.
