Topchfa it's a great meal and tradition. Growing up in the 1950s and early 1960s my grandparents would have 20 plus people at their tenant house in the Italian section of Providence, Rhode Island for "LaVigilia." Others in my family and myself have kept this tradition alive.
Brought back a good memory I don’t know many who celebrate that way , not even any mid night masses anymore
