Every Christmas Eve, my family (the four kids and parents) meet up with some old neighbors for dinner at Ruth's Chris. It's the one night each year where we're really spoiled, and one of my favorite restaurants, because we go to one right next to Reagan National Airport in DC, and you can watch planes take off, which is more fun than you'd imagine!
Two years ago, one of our ex-neighbors became very sick on Christmas Eve, and asked to cancel. Our family didn't want to change tradition and go without them, so we cancelled the reservation. At around 7 o'clock, we were all sitting around the house in our nice clothes, wondering what to do, when my brother (who was VERY drunk from a Redskins game he had attended earlier in the day) stood up and declared that he wanted tortillas.
So we went to Don Pablos, of course, all dressed up, at 8pm on Christmas Eve, and ate lots of delicious Mexican food and drank beer, and it was a fantastic, bizarre, Christmas Eve. I have a picture of my little sister wearing a sombrero with Christmas lights on it :).
