Christmas Day Breakfast

[LuckyAmy1986]

I’m looking for ideas. What’s everyone doing?

Salmon, bbq, pizza and pancakes.

Nigella's Christmas Morning Muffins for DC and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs for DH and I. Champagne & coffee to drink (Bucks Fizz sets my teeth on edge!)

I'm having a mix of pastries, bacon sarnies and bucks fizz. I love Christmas breakfast. I'm sure I will also fit some chocolate in as well.

I'm a hardened drinker but I cannot face alcohol first thing in a morning - plus I always have to drive to do evening stables.

Nothing special here.

Same as usual plus choc/ sweets from stockings for the kids! Weirdly the smell of turkey already cooking puts me off eating much at breakfast!

scrambled eggs, smoked salon, toast and bucks fizz - lovely!

oh some of these are really lovely! I wish we could have a special breakfast and open presents leisurely, but the reality is, we always host the whole extended family at ours for 24th dinner, 25th lunch and dinner, and they also come on the 26th to eat left-overs!

so on the morning of the 25th I will be waking up relatively late after a late night on Christmas's eve and frantically prepping lunch and cleaning up last night's remains and preparing the dining room for Christmas lunch, I have even set a rule for the kids that they open just two presents each before lunch, or I would miss the whole thing!!

wish I could do it differently! Christmas morning is my least favourite part of the whole thing

Our family’s Christmas breakfast is French Toast (or Eggy bread if you prefer) with Bacon And Maple syrup. This has been our tradition ever since we got married and we love it. I buy extra special bacon just because it’s christmas 🤣 And we usually do it with brioche bread. DS is allergic to egg which put a spanner in the works but at the moment Nutella on toast is a big enough treat for him so he is happy.

Good old bacon baguettes

We have toast

It’s only me and the dd’s and they don’t really do breakfast (slice of toast at a push ), might manage a crumpet but not much else.

Chocolate that is all !

Ready made pastries and bucks fizz , crumpets and cereal for the kids.

Pop tarts Father Christmas always put a box in my stocking when I was small and he has continued the tradition for my DC. Smoked salmon band scrambled eggs on Boxing Day.

Another smoked salmon and scrambled eggs here, sometimes with something fizzy.

Bacon sandwiches taken off the overnight cooked turkey, croissants and Bucks fizz!

Usually coffee & chocolate while we open presents. But I've lost 10 stones since Feb. 8lbs to go to target.. Im not even going to buy all the sweets, nuts etc I usually do cos I'll just eat them. I've bought Slimming World Xmas cook books but I think dinner will just be my normal roast with all trimmings. I'd better have something for breakfast though....or I'll start pinching the kids sweets before lunch. ....maybe poached eggs, or scrambled. Only me & 2 kids....bf & his son plus my parents, daughter & grandkids coming for dinnertime.

My FIL has requested a full English, I want flaky Crossiants and bacon, my MIL isn't a big eater and can't think what she wants so early... and my DH wants eggs benedict...

He can do the cooking and I'll make the tea!!!!

Wow, CrazyCatLady, that's an amazing loss, and barely any to go now! You've done so well!

And well done for resisting at Christmas too...you've far more willpower than I have!

Chocolate and mulled wine!

What?? It's Christmas!

But I've lost 10 stones since Feb. 8lbs to go to target

Wow! That's amazing.

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and champagne.

Though I'll probably skip that this year, as we're having Blinis as a starter. So it will probably be pancakes & bacon, fruit, yoghurt, and champagne.
I've always had a big breakfast on Christmas morning, as we don't eat til 3-4ish.

As I'm originally from the East Midlands, a pork pie and piccalilli is also usually available for those who wish to partake!

Bacon sandwiches and orange juice (Buck's Fizz for DH and I) The children always have the satsuma out of their stockings and one chocolate from the stockings as well. We have Christmas dinner at about 2-3pm.

Croissants, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs Buck's Fizz for me & DH. Fruit juice, bagels, scrambled egg & bacon for DC's. Can't wait! X

We usually have some form of focaccia with Prosciutto and poached egg. And Buck's Fizz

Should add that is at about 10 after we've had the usual cuppa opening presents by the tree!
