what do you have for your breakfast on christmas day?

[MoonFaceMamaaaaargh]

And while we're at it what time do you (aim to) have your dinner?

I would never want to drink alcohol at breakfast, I would have a headache by ten thirty.

No, no, no to alcohol at breakfast. Gah.

I couldn't drink at breakfast either, would make me sleepy and I like to pay attention to the day.

A quite normal breakfast of cereal or toast, but nice and leisurely. Might do a proper coffee rather than instant. Then later on, around 10.30, coffee and biscuits with present opening when grandparents arrive. Pre-dinner drinks and nibbles. Dinner, I aim for around 1pm.

Croissants or pain au chocolat, something easy but not cereal or toast like we have every other day.

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs here as well now that there's just three in the house. When all the family were at home there was always croissants, home made pancakes, etc as well. Bucks Fizz of course. Orange juice. And a cup of really good coffee. I think Christmas brekkies is the best part of the day for me.

Dinner (by which time I'm in a rather nice alcoholic haze) - about three-ish.

Selection box!

Too busy cooking to ponce around with smoked salmon.

Hate to be boring, but usually smoked salmon and scrambled eggs And Buck's Fizz.

Having seen how unoriginal that is, might think of something else this year!

anything thats naughty, washed down with a very early sherry! (only once a year)

Chocolate!
Usually whatever Hotel Chocolat is in their stockings, probably because the DDs are up at about 4 and I'm still snuggled up in bed .
DD1 has been cooking a lot this year though, so might be different.

Bacon butties!! We eat dinner at 2pm leaving plenty of time to stuff in the chocolate oranges .

oysters and bloody marys.....really!

I never drink alcohol before our Christmas dinner.

I have awful memories of my alkie SiL, swaying in front of a frying pan, one Christmas morning, waving a half finished can of lager, yelling "Go on you miserable bugger, have a drink, go on".

I did, I had a cuppa.

Well someone had to look out for her baby.

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs usually but might try eggs benedict this year instead - I'm not cooking the turkey though. We will then wander round to my parents for nibbles and champagne around 12-ish then dinner will probably be around 5.

Cereal and a brew.

A day feels wrong if I don't have this whether it is Christmas day or not I need my cereal!

Oh dear, all these people with interesting breakfasts makes me it'll be cereal or toastandjam as usual for me and a large black coffee. (oh for the days when a cigarette would have been my answer). < sigh>

croissants or pain au chocolat or sometimes I make fluffy American pancakes, but the kids always prefer to have their usual cereal .

This year I think it'll be dippy eggs and toast soldiers.

scallops and bacon and bucks fizz.

Usually chocolate.

Dinner is at in-laws, so anytime between 1 and 2:30

Croissants & bucks fizz

Actually my best Christmas breakfast was the year me and dh first moved in together. Just completed purchase, no furniture, first night was Christmas eve I came in from work he had bought a 3ft christmas tree and a star from Woolies. He set up the picnic table and we had fish n chip supper. Slept on our new mattress on the floor, next morning breakfast was toast and butter, orange juice and coffee - no fridge he had kept the cold stuff in a bucket of water outside!

We go to church too so only eat late in the day, usually sixish.

Breakfast, croissants for us, bacon butties for the children, to a mate's straight after church for gins , home for smoked salmon lunch and then acouple of hours on teh couch before hitting the kitchen!

Quality Street for breakfast!
Dinner 2ish
