ChrisKsAngel Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 We don't eat breakfast at all on Christmas morning. My little girl is normally up by 7 (at the latest) and she goes straight for the presents. However, I do have doughnuts and coffee for the adults. We always have an early Christmas dinner around 12 or 1 (much in the same fashion of Thanksgiving dinner) and that is our only real meal of the day.

Bunniq Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Christmas morning it is just DH and myself. We usually do everything at the same time lol. We cook breakfast together, and open gifts while cooking. Then after breakfast we get ready to travel to the homes of family and friends to drop off gifts, and end up at my Aunt's home to spend the rest of the day with extended family.

shrenlee Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 First we get some coffee... Then, we open gifts with intermittant donuts and danishes(still opening). When we are almost done opening, I preheatthe oven and I bake a breakfast casserole which usually gets eaten late morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmConMom Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 We open our presents first. When the initial unwrap is finished, I pop the breakfast casserole in the oven while hubby helps the kids get the things out of the packages and get the batteries into things. The kiddies play until breakfast is ready. I love Christmas, all this talk is making me so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misshayley Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Since it's just DH and I, we usually open our gifts early (the day before Christmas Eve) because we have a very busy Christmas and Christmas Eve. So on Christmas day we eat breakfast before we open our gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotinkandy1 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 We have a family tradition that has gone on for years.

heavenlysshine Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 We always open gifts first and then eat a light breakfast before getting ready to head over to my Mom's for the big Christmas Dinner/family gift exchange in the afternoon.

indymom46060 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 No breakfast. We get up, do gifts, get cleaned up and dressed , then we head to my mother's where my sisters and brother meet us. We stop and get coffe somewhere (usuallly a gas station) on the way. Sometimes mom has cinnamon buns or something like that waiting. We get right to it with the gifts. We eat snacky finger foods, usually summer sausage, crackers, crab dip, veggie dip, etc. We have dinner around 1pm or so and that is really the only 'meal' we have all day. Then we move on to visit my husbands side of the family, go backto moms and play board games and eat leftovers until the wee hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxeelady Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 We have always opened the presents right away and then a continental breakfast. Of course we adults have our coffee during the opening ritual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandifour Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 We do presents first. Usually the kids are eating candy out of their stocking then we clean up, get dressed, snack on whatever and head off to the family gathering. Then we are home really late. Sometimes it stinks because we have such a huge family we dont get to enjoy xmas as much as we would like together with just the 4 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christib327 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Since we've had kids we open presents after breakfast. I'd never get them to eat if I let them open their presents first. (they're only 2 and 1/2) Once they get older it will probably be a different story. Chocolate gravy? I have never heard of that!!!! I'm a major chocoholic (sp?) but I really just can't imagine eating that on a biscuit. I can't knock it till I try it though, so maybe I'll make a batch this weekend! I'm sure my boys would think it's wonderful! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebrie Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I make those Sweet Orange rolls out of a can for breakfast right before the kids bet up (if I can catch them). The kids won't slow down to eat, so we adults munch on them until I see the kids winding down, and I start breakfast. The Orange Rolls are a tradition. In fact, one of the "fake toy" packages we bought for the kids YEARS ago happened to have a miniature version of the Orange Rolls as an item. We made it into an ornament.
