This year, like last year, we shall be having a fry up for breakfast on Christmas Day. This will consist of sausages, bacon, fried eggs, mushrooms, baked beans and/or grilled tomatoes and toast. We don't have a fry up very often, well, hardly ever, so we have it for a treat on Christmas Day.
What will you be having for breakfast on 25th December this year? Do you eat out for breakfast?

Since we are totally broke I won't be able to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast to see my family, however, my mom usually makes something we called "fluffy pancakes" I don't know if that's the real name but they are INCREDIBLE.
The best way I can describe them is they are like a soufflé pancake and you have to eat them quickly before they flatten. YUMMM, Regards

What about the black pudding! You forgot the black pudding??? I hardly ever have a full English my friend and Christmas is not an exception, I will be having muesli as always for breakfast on Christmas Day, I am, I guess a creature of habit, I do have a fry up when I go down to Dorset to my retreat with my friends and we have fried bread yum which is crispy and not soggy yuk! Sadly no black pudding there either. I love my black pudding essential part. Besides I eat my breakfast whilst on the computer and it's too greasy to have a full English whilst tapping away LOL!

We usually forgo breakfast on Christmas Day in anticipation of a large (midday) Christmas Dinner. In spite of that, there are usually mince pies and coffee to hand if people feel unbearably faint from hunger. The children will very likely have had sweets (candy) in their stockings, so it's only the adults who may be in need of sustenance.
Dinner is served between 1:00 and 2:00 and usually lasts till 3:30. The children are generally sent to have a quiet time in their rooms while the adults wash up (do the dishes) and then the Tree Presents are opened. Yes, our tradition is cruel to the kids! There may be one present opened (apart from stockings) before Christmas Dinner but present-opening is a strictly monitored affair that happens in the afternoon and is concluded by tea (and Christmas cake).

We don't eat out for breakfast. My kids all come to my house and we fix it here. This year my daughter and daughter-in-law are fixing it while I watch the baby. I told them that Grandpa and Grandma will play with the baby while they fix us breakfast lol. They're bringing the food and fixing. That will be a nice change for me lol.

I, personally wil eat soft fried eggs with ham and a cup of coffee.
However, everyone else will enjoy a breakfast of Ackee and Saltish, with johnny cakes, roasted yellow yam, steamed callaloo and roast breadfruit.
We will attend a midnight service on Christmas Eve and when we reach home we will have hot mince pies! I know you know all about the mince pies, right? Blessings

This year, unlike last year, I will go to my uncle's family on Christmas Day. My aunt will cook lots of delicious food like roast duck, jiaozi (which you call dumpling), and some western food. She is really good at cooking. Everytime, when I left my uncle's family, my stomach suffered a lot. Shame on so many levels!
By the way, I guess I will eat some noodles for breakfast!

Hi there amanda333
I am determined that this Christmas is going to be a controlled one with a bit of restraint. This will only have been our third Christmas so I am still trying to get things just right and I think that if they learn that they have to have their breakfast first before opening their presents they will get used to it. They will have their stocking gifts to play with in the meantime. They always get overlooked as soon as the bigger pressies come along!
Thanks amanda

That sounds like a lovely tradition for christmas day, startin the day off with a lovely breakfast like that! We dont do anything like that, I mean my kids would cry if they thought that they had to sit down to a big breakfast before getting to their presents and there is just no way they would eat it so on christmas day everyone just tends to eat as and when. Around lunchtime I cook a load of party nibbles and then it just gets picked at throughout the day because everyone is just too excited and busy to bother about food.

Hi There!
Hmmm.. I am pretty sure that we will wake up late on the 25th of December because exactly 12AM on december 25th (Christmas Eve), we will celebrate our Christmas. My mom is not yet sure if she will have white or red pasta for Christmas but I am sure that there will be my favorite dessert which is LECHE FLAN. That is soooooOOoooo Yummy! I think we will have fruit salad. We don’t have cake for Christmas but I am thinking of buying one this year! And oh… for main course, chicken roll and Beef casserole will do. Mom will surely do all the cooking again… Oh… and lots of Quezo de bola (Cheese) and 2 big HAMS. That’s one thing we always have… a HAM on Christmas eve… then so on… we stay up late like until 3 in the morning so…. I think we will miss the breakfast once again. Hehehe…
Happy Mylotting and Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Since we had the kids we hadnt had a real Christmas breakfast. The kids were always too excited to eat so either santa leaves pop tarts or granola bars and juice boxes in their stocking or I pick up donuts for us to munch on in the morning. then we have dinner later on.

I am not a breakfast person, and since it is just myself and my husband, I will probably just have a glass of juice. My husband acts like he is starving all of the time, so I will probably fix sausage, eggs and cheese, grits and a muffin for him. He will probably have coffee as well, oh, and don't forget the jelly on his muffin.
Enjoy your breakfast.

We will be at my parent's house overnight on Christmas Eve and so in the morning I imagine that we will be sitting down to a quick breakfast before heading off to my inlaws for Christmas Day. My dad loves to cook in the morning (he's a morning person - eek! - I'm not)and I figure that he will be cooking us up some eggs and bacon!
