Christmas Eve Salad

This is traditional for Christmas Eve with the Nickersons. You can make it in a jelly mold if you’re brave or you can just make it in a glass trifle bowl and serve it in the bowl. Either way, you want the green layer to end up on the bottom and the red layer on the top. Mary de Bakker suggests these amounts to make it set.
Red layer: A package of red jello. Add a cup of boiling water as per the instructions on the box. Then add only ½ cup of cold water instead of the full amount suggested on the box. Chill until set. (In the photo, there seem to be raspberries in it, but we don't use them.)
Yellow Layer: A package of yellow jello. Add a cup of boiling water as per the instructions on the box. No cold water. Mix in 4 ounces of cream cheese. Pour over the red layer and chill until set.

Green Layer: A package of green jello. Add a cup of boiling water as per the instructions on the box. No cold water. Mix in ¾ of a can of crushed pineapple, drained. Pour over the yellow layer and chill until set.
