Champagne!

We usually have croissants with bacon/eggs/smoked salmon and people eat what they want.

@Serin but it doesn't taste like McDonald's ones. I've got a burger press but I prefer doing it by hand. Less washing up lol

SmudgeButt · 17/11/2019 12:22

meatballs. (I really have got to try and get my mom's recipe)

Angie6868 · 17/11/2019 12:23

We always have pork pie. I don't know why

ShowOfHands · 17/11/2019 12:24

We take it in turns to choose. Last year we had fruit salad and spiced winter muffins (7yo ds's year to choose). DH will choose this year so I suspect it will be a full English but being veggie, I won't eat it. I am going to have Christmas tree shaped crumpets with poached egg, avocado and chilli flakes.

Trewser · 17/11/2019 12:26

Toasted muffins with crispy parma ham, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Orange juice. No alcohol.

GingerRogers84 · 17/11/2019 12:27

@cookiemonster5 they have them in Morrisons too! 😊

MamaGothel · 17/11/2019 12:33

We have croissants and pain au chocolat (the frozen ones you put in the oven so they're lovely and warm) and fruit

WhatsInAName19 · 17/11/2019 12:36

We have a fairly substantial breakfast because we don’t eat Christmas dinner until mid afternoon. Usually sausage sandwiches or homemade (massive, hot from the oven 😋) cinnamon rolls or pastries with fruit salad.

iklboo · 17/11/2019 12:36

DS - smoked salmon, blinis, caviar (well, roe) & sour cream

DH & I have Eggs Benedict Royale or bacon butties.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 17/11/2019 12:37

Chilli scrambled eggs and smoked salmon with blinis.
There’s only me and DD2 (22) at home now so we exchange gifts Christmas Eve then have a lie in until about 9ish Christmas morning. Breakfast keeps us going until we have a late lunch around 3ish.

8Iris8 · 17/11/2019 12:45

Smoked salmon, croissants, avocado and champagne :)

AdaColeman · 17/11/2019 12:46

Kir Royale or something else fizzy, cake or biscuits, or crumpets. Later on possibly a cheese & ham filled croissant.

SuburbanCrofter · 17/11/2019 12:51

Who's doing all the washing up after these breakfasts??

joystir59 · 17/11/2019 12:56

Not Bucks Fizz!!!!! Yucky sickly overrated drink.

bigchris · 17/11/2019 12:58

*55muddledmidget

Pigs in blanket rolls with ketchup to eat in the car while driving 200 miles at 5am...*

Amen to that ! Bloody nightmare isn't it !

itsgettingweird · 17/11/2019 12:59

Bacon.
Usually cheeses left over from Xmas eve buffet.

Often will cook fresh pastries or crumpets etc to go with it.

Only ds and I.

We go to my Karen's for lunch at 1.30ish so need something to keep us going but that won't fill us up too much!

madcatladyforever · 17/11/2019 13:00

I don't know how people can drink alcohol at breakfast time. I'd be fast asleep all day if I did that.

Pasithea · 17/11/2019 13:03

Scrambled eggs smoked salmon champagne.

Sweetooth92 · 17/11/2019 13:05

Selection box, a chocolate orange & a Lindt reindeer.

Moltenpink · 17/11/2019 13:07

Slices of the Christmas ham, boiled eggs & English mustard.

wildhairdontcare · 17/11/2019 13:09

Bacon sandwiches around 11am then dinner around 5pm.

Butterymuffin · 17/11/2019 13:15

Who's doing all the washing up after these breakfasts??

Dishwasher. It works hard on Christmas Day Smile

We've had bacon and egg sandwiches often but also like smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels. Coffee and Bucks Fizz with.

BlueCornsihPixie · 17/11/2019 13:16

Chocolate croissants and Danish pastry

Or smoked salmon and scrambled egg, plus English muffins

Fresh orange juice and coffee. Then get dressed, then champagne. You've got to at least wait till 11am Grin
