December 24, 20169 yr My Grandpa on my dad's side was an accountant. He started an accounting firm and had a client back in the 60s who owned the first company in Greater Cincinnati to ever fly seafood fresh from the coast, so Grandpa used to pride himself on Christmas for having shrimp that was only 24 hours from having been caught fresh out of the Gulf. The Christmas menu varies from year to year, and Grandpa has been gone for 17 years now, but we always have shrimp on Christmas.
