Christmas With the Duggars Part 2
Yesterday, we wrote about the Duggars' traditions leading up to Christmas. Today, let's take a look at how they spend Christmas Day.
Jim Bob and Michelle host an average of 30-45 immediate and extended family members for Christmas dinner, which is served buffet-style at their 7,000 square-foot home in Northwest Arkansas.
Can you guess what the Duggars' favorite holiday dish is? It's not the mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, or even the assortment of homemade pies. It's the rolls; the Duggars' melt-in-your-mouth, Homemade Yeast Rolls.

After dinner, the family gathers around the Christmas tree (decorated this year by Jessa and Jinger) for an evening of carols, board games, hot apple cider, and plenty of wrapping paper!
How does a super-sized family handle Christmas presents? The Duggars usually organize their gift exchange by pulling names out of a hat.
"You can feel the love in the room," says cousin Amy in a recent Examiner interview. There’s no family drama. It’s amazing."
Enjoy this video of the Duggars singing "Silent Night," back when they were "18 Kids and Counting."
