FWIW, it is not uncommon for my family to have just appetizers at any place we dine - we often find these to be more interesting than the entrees (that typically come loaded with carbohydrates).
For instance, at BoG, there is a charcuterie platter that is enormous, and along with a salad (and glass of wine), this makes a fantastic light-meal.....
Sounds like my meal for Christmas Eve (just before the Dessert Party - ssshhh, we're surprising the child).
