I'm from Baltimore and I wanted to share with you one of our traditions. The song "Crabs for Christmas" by David Deboy is over 20 years old. But we sing it every year around our house. In Maryland we love Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs and we love this song around the Holidays!

They are at the top of my list with steamed shrimp. I could live on steamed crabs alone.

I love crabs, but can't say (living in land locked Indiana) that I associate crabs with Christmas. Gotta love local tradition!!

No! Yuck

Sorry, crabs aren't a favorite at our house. Maybe my husband's allergies are partly to blame for that.
