1. Look again. You have a problem with tense agreement.
2. OK.
3. You have an extra word and you have used the singular where you should have used the plural twice.
 
You also need to correct '...if there is mistakes.'

Correction.

1) We order take out for Christmas dinner and ate the meal at my friend's house.
We ordered take-out Christmas dinner and ate it at my friend's house.

2) We on dine out on special occasion such as birthday and Christmas.
We dine out on special occasions such as birthday and Christmas.
 
We would use "birthdays" as presumably it's not just one person's birthday you celebrate in that way.
