Xmas breakfast??

[geoff]

When the kids wake you up at 05 45 you need a large glass of sherry!!

[di]

Chocolate!

[Mcbee]

Toasted stollen - just so the marzipan starts to bubble - coffee, and then fizz with juice...........all by 6am

[Stacey Steve]

Normally it's bacon butties in this household but looking forward, when the kids are gone, I'll look out for some Arbroath kippers.

MMMmmmm with lashings of buttered toast

When I was a kid we always had a grapefruit for xmas brekkie, followed by orange juice. Think my folks were probably on the strong stuff by then.
When my kids were younger I used to insist on chocolates from the selection box for breakfast. One year I remember me and my youngest daughter had so much chocolate we were both feeling ill by about 11 o'clock. My mrs was going mad as obviously so much to do.
Me and the nipper had to overcome our chocolate sickness by sucking barley sugar sweets, which seemed to work.

Champers, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs ....always

Presseies are then opened accompained with sherry...it continues from there...

As its my birthday, I open my birthday pressies first, we thought this would change when I had Stacey but she just accepted it and is the one going on, mum's birthday first! Like everyone doesn't know!! We then open pressies we take it in turns so we can see what everyone else is getting usually have stolen, mince pies about nine then maybe a bacon buttie or cheese and biscuits depends what folks want the Xmas dinner about 3pm that way we not full of choccy but have time to eat after dinner. This year I'm working in the afternoon and evening with a break which will hopefully be long enough for Xmas dinner

It depends on the weather! I don't really do traditional breakfasts anyway, but if the weather is absolutely dire, I get a guilt attack and go take care of the 4-legged ones first, which means either grabbing a banana or just taking coffee with me! Otherwise it would be crumpets, cereal, muffin or pastry. As per usual!

[kate&rob]

we always have a full englishat around 9.30 that keeps us going untill the main thing at 2.30-3.00, we then start with the turkey sandwiches early evening. usually have a sherry or two while cooking so am quite sozzled by serve up time.

[SarzWix]

We have croissants/pain au chocolat before pressie opening, followed by bacon butties afterwards. I don't drink, and find drunk people exceptionally annoying, so any suggestions of champers/sherry etc before Dinner is ready would probably be met with a large slap!

[lynda66]

I don't drink,

joins you in a nice cup of tea

[Rhona]

Either croissant, pain au chocolate, or smoked salmon on very buttery toast! Bucks Fizz in morning - Champagne about midday. "Lunch" at around 4.30 p.m... lovely lovely Christmas!

[kate&rob]

i'll consider myself slapped then! christmas is the only time i do drink so it doesn't take much, plus it helps me sleep well during all the rubbish on tv

[lainey lou]

usually croissant & pain au chocolate with bucks fizz and lots of lovely coffee.Then it'll be out with the sherry!
Remember when I was a kid it was always tucking into the selection boxes for crimbo brekkie!

[crazy_red]

Yep!

Same as Flum's except I always have strawberries, cos I don't like salmon, and I dip them in the Bubbly then in vanilla sugar... yum!
