I never have the norm. It's not my favourite food so i'm not gonna spend all day in the kitchen cooking it! I always have something different each year. Like this year i'll probably have gingerbread pancakes with cream for breakfast, chili con carne and hot nachos and chicken enchiladas and salad for lunch and then cheeses and pickles with bread for dinner. You?

  1. We like to have a nice egg and bacon affair after the kids open their presents. Lunch is whatever is handy. And dinner is another Turkey and trimmings spectacular.


  2. breakfast is cocopops - always has been always will be

    lunch is cold meat and salad

    dinner usually changes every year

  3. Breakfast-Panettoni Bread (toasted) w/ marscapone cheese

    Lunch/Dinner: One Big Chow down fest-- Almost like thansgiving all over again

  4. For breakfast we always do something special like pumpkin-banana pancakes with applewood smoked bacon and gingerbread coffee - lunch usually does not happen since we eat dinner pretty early (italian food with a roast or lobster) but we do have lots of appetizers like shrimp cocktail, cheese, crackers and fruit etc...

  5. Skip breakfast, snack on Wildcat & other fingerfood, And then for dinner a nice ham w/ mashed potatoes and other fixings.

  6. Same as it's been for the last 25-30 years. White Castle hamburgers for breakfast and leftovers from Christmas Eve dinner for lunch and dinner.

  7. In the u.k we tend to have Christmas dinner on christmas day so..

    Breakfast-Cream cheese on toast which is shaped like a reindeer.

    Lunch-Christmas dinner.

    Dinner-At my good parents so quiche,crisps,chips,chicken,salad,ect.

  8. The tradition in my family goes a little like this:

    I get to cook. I enjoy it, so does my family.

    Breakfast is something special for the day--waffles, or pancakes or French Toast, with bacon or sausage on the side.

    Lunch is very light--finger foods, appetizers.

    Dinner is early, and is almost always roast turkey with a wild rice, raisin, apple and mushroom stuffing, real mashed potatoes and gravy, peas or broccoli, hot biscuits, with a good white wine to accompany, and dessert, a cake and fresh fruit combination later on....

    ...all in moderation, of course, with gentle seconds or thirds throughout the next couple of days...

  9. Breakfast- Gingerbread Cookies and Eggnog  

    Lunch- Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk

    Dinner- Oreo's and Milk

    Dessert- Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

    Santa Claus would be wanting that

    Every Day

  10. My Grandfather started a tradition that as you have a huge lunch you should have a light breakfast and so for many years for breakfast I had sliced Christmas Ham and halved tomatoes.

    My DH always liked to eat his selection box for breakfast, but I managed to persuade him that this wasn't the healthiest thing to do with young children around and so now he gets a choice from a menu that I make up!

    The choices for this year are Ham and tomatoes, crossiants, egg bready, bullseye fried bread, full breakfast or scrambled egg and toast!

    I like the idea of gingerbread pancakes though so I am off to search for a recipie for them!

    We eat snacks through out the day and eat lunch around 3pm.

    We have a choice of starters, last year I had brie in puff pastry with tomato relish, DH had pate with toast stars and DD had melon balls! The other choices were garlic mushrooms, garlic bread, prawn cocktail and soup.

    We then have the full works Turkey, roast mashed and boiled potatoes, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips, carrotts, peas, mashed swede, gravy, stuffing, sausages in bacon, yorkshire puddings (cos everyone wants them!) and I think there are a lot of other things I have forgotten like bread sauce and sweetcorn!

    For pudding (if we can cope) we can have Christmas pudding, chocolate Cake with cream/ice cream, Fresh fruit platter or Ice Cream!

    Then we have a Cheese platter with crackers and Grapes.

    This takes us up to about 6 or 7pm, which is when we open our presents and we drink hot chocolate!

    Only once in my 28 years have I ever had supper (about 10pm), which was a choice of bubble and squeak or sandwiches made from turkey or the Christmas Ham.

    I don't spend all day in the kitchen however as a lot of the dishes can be made in advance and I cook the turkey on Christmas Eve (as we visit with three sets of in laws on Christmas Day!) and it doesn't take that long to cook the vegetables!

    Oh and I don't put on weight at Christmas as we increase our exercise level over the season to make up for the extra calories!

  11. Well I have christmas another day with my family On Christmas day it just me and my two boys. Well there something new a newborn baby be couple of weeks old I would think. I am expecting a baby day after thanksgiving this year. I fix pancakes for breakfast. lunch peanut butter jelly which my two boys love. Last year I did fix ham mashed potatoes with gravy and dinner rolls deviled eggs. I had with my parents grandma and my two aunts with my kids. This I don't know want I be doing. I have a boyfriend. I don't know want the plan is on that yet.

  12. After presents, we all help out to make a big breakfast: pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausage, fruit, juice, coffee, etc.  We tend to take it easy for lunch and just grab whatever's available.  That might be cold cut sandwiches, chips and salsa, or even just a few cookies.  For dinner we have prime rib, baked potatoes, corn or green beans, macaroni and cheese, salad, multi-layer jello, and wine.

  13. In the morning my mom and dad make keesh and that sort of stuff because all of my grandmas and grandpas and uncles and aunties come to my house for Christmas! I bake ALL of December, i bet you there is a new batch of something every single day! We keep all of  my baking on the table in the kitchen along with the keesh while we are doing present opening, ( and present opening litterally takes us 2 hours! ) When present opening is done we pretty much just go where we want, usually everyone goes in the kitchen and talks while my mom and dad make the dinner. But me my sister and my 2 cousins that come over check out all the cool stuff we got and try everything out! Then, it soon becomes dinner... which i have to say is one of my least favourite times on Christmas day, because of the reason that the day is almost over, as well as the Christmas season. :( and you have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for it to come again!, although when we do sit down for dinner, it is always AMAZINGLY good! We have Turkey with stuffing,mashed potatos with the best gravey ever!, we have yams and sweet potatos, peas and vegetables, buns with butter, and about another 5 things!!! ( we have so much, because of all the people that are over ) and for dessert its Pumpkin pie with whipped cream! =) A perfect way to end the "feast" lol! We have Christmas crakers during dinner too, those are always fun. And then the adults will usually have some coffee and whatnot! So the Christmas for the family that i live in is full of fun!

    Merry Early Christmas!!!
