Hi!
For the past few Christmas Eve dinners, I've done the "Sunday Rib Roast' recipe from the Barefoot Contessa's show on the Food Network.
Let's see if this link works:

Good luck (with the dinner---the roast itself is pretty easy thanks to Ina Garten).
I'm not a meat eater but let me tell you, the smell of this turns me on.
Happy Holidays!
