Oweeee, my mouth is watering and I have already HAD breakfast! These menu ideas and traditional menus are awesome. ItÃ¯Â¿Â½s so interesting to see what everyone has for their traditional meals at this holiday! Since my family members are scattered all over the place in different locations, we are not having any type of traditional meal, and IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve been in a sour mood because of this separation during the holidays. We will have only our youngest son here with his new wife visiting from Chicago, and she eats only vegetarian, so IÃ¯Â¿Â½m trying to come up with menu ideas that will please her, as well as DH and son, who are big meat eaters. Will probably do some type of local fish, to please son who canÃ¯Â¿Â½t find it in Chicago, and lots of yummy vegetable sides. Suggestions are always welcome! All your menus sound wonderful!

It's just food, food, food all day! For breakfast, we always have an egg and sausage casserole, a jazzed up hashbrown casserole, ham biscuits and garlic cheese grits (with jalapenos -- Yum!) Fruit will be something very simple like cantaloupe wedges or fresh pineapple. I may or may not get around to making muffins or French toast fingers since sweets aren't a high priority with my crew, particularly early in the day. As some leave to go to 'the other' family's house, and others wander in for the first time, we sort of gradually segue into the brunch phase. I'll add their favorite Cajun crab spread with toasted garlic rounds and a dip or two to the buffet. Once the biscuits are gone, we'll bake some rolls for the ham. I make a super-spicy mustard sauce that my children adore and an herb-flavored mayonnaise so everybody can put together mini-sandwiches. There's always some sort of seafood -- usually poached shrimp with cocktail sauce since it's so easy to do ahead -- and a couple of salads (broccoli and pasta are the faves). Oh, and Bloody Marys to help the cook forget how bad her feet are hurting at this point... By the time everybody who had to leave has returned and we've all worked up a little bit of an appetite again, it's usually 7:30 or so. Our dinner menu varies a little, but this year we'll have Boston Clam Chowder as a starter. (Gift from a dear friend who feels sooo sorry for her poor, deprived Southern pal who didn't grow up eating this. lol) Spinach salad with poppy seed dressing. Beef tenderloin, if I can afford it. If many extras are going to turn up, it will be prime rib instead. A green vegetable TBD, and a potato gratin. Dessert will be Italian cheesecake with a strawberry/Grand Marnier topping -- not that anybody will have room for it, but you have to have one, right?

Our traditional Christmas Breakfast began when the kids were smaller. I tried for a few years to make something special for breakfast--something that could be done and finished by the time we needed to head out to the Grandparent's houses for family celebrations. They didn't care--they wanted to open toys, and then they wanted to play with toys, and they'd snacked on the candy in their stockings when they were mousing around before we woke up, so heck, they weren't even hungry. So one year I made some Chex Mix and put it out for breakfast. It was a hit, and now that they're older teenagers, it's still our traditional Christmas breakfast. The recipe is on any box of Chex. I like to add Cheeze-Its. :-) Cj

It's just Jan & I here, so on Christmas morning I stick my head out long enough to look out the window..See the snow and cold, and I tuck my head back under the covers to continue my hybernation. Jan was an only child and her Mother & Dad have both passed away and all my family are over 600 miles from here, so it's just the two of us. Somewhere around lunch time we get up and finish cooking our holiday feast, then we sit back and discuss all the things that we intended to buy for Christmas, but had already purchased throughout the year, because we needed them at the time, not three or four months later....LOL By example, in August our refrigerator died and Jan was in a tizzy because she simply could not figure out how to fit a new one into our budget.... I sat back and thought a bit and I said, "I got an idea, how about we get one time and I will pay the bill out of my money, rather than the household budget, and we will call it a Xmass present." At 9am the next morning we had a new fridge delivered and yesterday I tied a big red bow on the handle." We do go through the pretext of exchanging a few stocking stuffer items, but in truth, as far as big ticket items go, we either have them or don't need them, so whats the point?

Gosh, Joann. Thank you!

I'm doing a brunch for the kids and grands on the 16th to celebrate Christmas before they all scatter to their other families. DD1 (35 years old) graduates college on the 15th and we will drive 2 hours to the ceremony. Out to dinner afterwards, so whatever I serve for brunch has to be made well in advance. This recipe is perfect! Thanks again!!!

That "ultimate Breakfast casserole" at the KTGP is a winner also. I've made it several times, we all love it.

Ultimate Breakfast Casserole

12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 cups cubed bread
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups cheese, grated
8-9 eggs
1 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
additions, to taste
1. Cook and crumble bacon; set aside. Cube bread. Grease a 9x13 pan.
  2. Cube the bread, spread on bottom of pan
  3. Melt butter (or margarine) and pour over the bread cubes in the pan.
  4. Toss with shredded cheese. ( I used a Mexican Fiesta blend)
  5. Whisk eggs, milk, and sour cream.
  6. Pour mixture evenly over bread cubes and cheese.
  7. Sprinkle bacon (or whatever) over the top of the casserole.
  8. Cover with foil. You can cook this right away, or let it sit in the fridge overnight.
  Bake at 325-degrees, covered, for 45 minutes.
  Remove cover and bake another 15 minutes.
\*You can substitute 3/4 pound (or 1 1/2 cups) sausage or ham or ground beef or Whatever you have! You can get away with 1/4 cup butter. Or even margerine. If you must. Add 1 cup chopped sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables, if you like. You can cut this recipe in half, just use a 8 x 8 pan. Easy to make the night before and cook the next day.
