I love those food traditions for Christmas as well. We always have the same thing for Christmas Eve, Christmas morning and Christmas dinner as well. I’ll write about it on my blog this week 🙂
lol about the Christmas lunch. I guess you could call Christmas cookies “lunch.”
Merry Christmas!
Hi there!
You know how on the holiday people traditionally have dessert sometime after dinner? Well, we started a new family tradition, when my children were younger, of having dessert for breakfast because so often we were really too full to eat it after dinner. On Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, I serve my pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies, a bowl of whipped cream and a bowl of fruit salad. That way I do not have to worry about breakfast, and everyone can have their dessert and eat it too!
Love, Hope 🙂
I’m here via $5 dinners — I was surprised to see you have Sugar Cereal for breakfast too! We do that every year, and I’ve never met anyone else who does that. 🙂
Congratulations on your pregnancy. How exciting to be expecting during the holidays.
Enjoy your family Christmas.
