Cant decide between

bacon, eggs, sausages, leftover ham if we have that christmas eve, black pudding, grilled cherry plum tomatoes

Or scrambled egg and smoked salmon

Or omelettes.

Have heard of people having duck and quail eggs. Do you have them fried, poached or scrambled?

growing up we always had ham, nicely prepared by my dad, everything laid out buffet style. I tend to make a fruit salad with exotic fruit and pancakes. Not sure it is really that Christmassy. We eat lunch quite late.

Blt's and bucksfizz. The proper champagne and fresh orange stuff not the 4.0% stuff from tesco.

headfairy · 05/12/2012 11:12

Not that much to be honest, there's usually far too much excitement from the kids, I might warm up some pain au chocolat but they rarely get eaten. We usually have smoked salmon sandwiches around midday and Christmas lunch at 5pm.

HoHoHokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 05/12/2012 11:13

Smoked Salmon, Croissants and Champagne.

Scrambled eggs and Orange Juice for the dds.

DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender · 05/12/2012 11:15

Selection box and a cup of tea.

nannyof3 · 05/12/2012 11:17

As i always do Christmas eve, Xmas day, and boxing day at mine for about 15 people every year..
Everyone knows, they just help themselves to toast or cereal on Xmas day morning but i do a full fry up for boxing day morning....

GooseyLoosey · 05/12/2012 11:17

I always buy frozen pastries so we have them freshly baked with strawberries and raspberries.

LurkingPrincessLurkio · 05/12/2012 11:22

Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and Buck's Fizz to drink Grin

BendyBobsBrusselsSprouts · 05/12/2012 11:23

What a lovely idea Goosey I might do that

EggNogKnockers · 05/12/2012 11:26

French Toast, bacon and maple syrup with Bucks Fizz.

Followed by copious amounts of Baileys

AwaitingSnow · 05/12/2012 11:32

I like the idea of putting out fresh fruit GooseyLoosey. We have breakfast while we open our presents do dc could pick at the raspberries etc in between mouthfuls of chocolate

Lifeisontheup · 05/12/2012 11:38

Kedgeree and bucks fizz. Cook kedgeree the day before and reheat with cream in the microwave.

DeckTheHallsWithBartimaeus · 05/12/2012 11:39

We always had our usual cereal as a child. Rule was breakfast before any chocolate and everyone must be breakfasted, washed and dressed before opening the tree presents stockings were ripped into first thing

I asked DH if he wanted to do anything special (first Christmas at ours) but he just pulled a face so I think not! We have to eat lunch early anyway because DS gets up at 6am because MIL has a train to catch in the afternoon.

If I could have my choice I'd do pancakes or buy frozen pain au chocolat/raisin etc. and have them.

Katienana · 05/12/2012 12:00

Croissants, champagne, orange juice, tea and massive fruit salad made the day before with apple, banana, orange, grapes, melon pineapple and strawberries. Oh and kiwi. It's lovely and refreshing and a good hangover cure!

SlubbersRingAreYouListening · 05/12/2012 12:27

Porridge. Tea.

Cannot get my head round making and then consuming rich fancy stuff, or booze, when from 11.30am onwards the rest of the day is pretty much dedicated to doing just that.

Ilisten2theradio · 05/12/2012 12:29

I'm salivating reading this and then grouaning in disgust.
As Christmas we have DS in the house who is allergic to eggs, nuts, fish sesame and chocolate.! and DF who is coeliac.
Lunch will be about 1-1.30 so I now defy you all to find me a special breakfast that I can make to cover all eventualities!

(I might try the nigella muffins with egg replacer though).

GwendolineMaryLacedwithBrandy · 05/12/2012 12:31

No idea. I don't remember having breakfast on Christmas Day ever. And I don't remember dd1 having breakfast either! Definitely lots of tea, probably toast but I don't actually remember Xmas Blush

GoldenHandshake · 05/12/2012 12:44

fried eggs, canadian maple bacon, toast, naice sausages from the butchers and hash browns. I don't do Christmas dinner until 5pm ish, I can't bear eating dinner early. So big breakfast at about 9.30am see's us through Grin

SHoHoHodan · 05/12/2012 12:57
Grin

The same as I have every single morning. One slice of toast and a vast mug of tea.

After that though it all goes downhill and it's chocolates/lemon and orange jelly slices/chocolates/nuts/chocolates etc etc.

higgle · 05/12/2012 13:01

Always toasted brioche and fruit salad. It is traditional in the Midlands ( so I understand from a friend who always had this as a child) to have pork pie for Christmas breakfast.

mumof2girls99 · 05/12/2012 13:07

not really a breakie person/family but on xmas morning kids can have whatever they choose normally choch me im happy with my morning coffee :)

Narked · 05/12/2012 13:09

Champagne, melon, potato farls and little sausages (for those that eat them)

drmummmsy · 05/12/2012 13:10

dc is too excited for breakfast, but might have a sweetie or two

i'll have a cuppa and a hangover thank you very much Xmas Wink

jennymac · 05/12/2012 13:12

We have had pancakes/waffles, bacon and maple syrup the past couple of years but reading this now makes me think I might swap for smoked salmon and scrambled eggs this year. (Not sure what the dc will make of this idea though!)
