With my budget growing ever tighter, I can't be my usual Santa-ish self this year, which means whatever Christmasy thing I do has to remain local. To that end, I plan to bake a big, nasty-rich chocolate cake, frost it up with rich frosting, and give slices of it to the people in my building—guards, grocery-shop staff, and Paris Baguette staff. I need to buy a lot of party-sized plates and plastic utensils to make this work.
As for my own Christmas celebration... I'll be making myself a keto version of chicken pot pie. The carrots in the pie won't be very keto, but everything else will be, including the crust (using a "Victoria's" recipe instead of my own abomination). No peas, of course: too carby. Broccoli instead. And no potatoes, of course. I did look for cauliflower to replace the potatoes, but I couldn't find any at my local grocery. Not a problem; I'll do without.
