Some families (mine) eat seven types of fish on Christmas Eve, and some families make takeout Chinese a Christmas Day staple, but for the Bush family, it's all about Mexican food on Christmas Eve. In a "Six Minute Marathon with Savannah," [1] Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara, shared that their favorite family tradition [2] has to be their yearly Christmas Eve meal, and honestly, can I come over for dinner? Because that sounds way better than calamari prepared four ways . . .
"Mexican food on Christmas Eve is my very favorite family tradition," Jenna shared with Savannah Guthrie, as a photo of the pair in front of what looks like a homemade enchilada casserole popped up on the video. Barbara nodded in agreement but added that her personal favorite tradition is a bit more widespread of a holiday moment: "Waking up early on Christmas morning."
As someone who likes fish but doesn't love it enough to consume seven-plus different types every Dec. 24, you'd best believe I'll be pitching this Mexican food tradition this year. Quesadillas, here I come.
