Large extended family dim sum on Christmas Eve at a restaurant with usually 20+ people. My parents treat as it's become a tradition that way do instead of hosting a Xmas dinner. Xmas night dinner with family at one of my aunt's house with a bunch of family and then another dinner usually on boxing day at another aunts place with another set of extended family.
The neat thing with one of these dinners is the dishes are the same every year due to the large number of people but while the dishes are simple, they've become tradition and we all agree we wouldn't want anything else. Dishes are (we're Chinese) - shrimp with scrambled eggs, beef with broccoli, curry beef shank, baked chicken drumsticks, roast turkey with cranberry sauce and gravy, some Chinese vegetarian dish with Chinese mushrooms and vegetables and rice.
