Christmas Eve at Papa's House

Every Christmas Eve since I was a little girl, we go to my father's house for oyster stew. My father cooks like I do (or I guess you could say that I cook like him), so the recipe changes slightly from year to year. But it is always spectacular! We also always have Aunt Debbe's cheese grits and Aunt Stephanie's spiced apples among many other wonderful eats to enjoy!
