Merry Christmas (((flist)))

[primsong]

I'm so glad to see the holidays seem to be going mostly-pretty-much well for the folks who have popped in to LJ, may you all have a bit of something that warms your heart this day.

We had a sleepy-slow morning, laying out the pretty tablecloths, baking a pecan coffeecake and omelets, eggnog and tea on the side - I like to keep Christmas as simple as I can, who wants to spend a holiday in the kitchen? Everyone seemed to love the stuff in the stockings and under the tree ("This is all from the bins??" was asked unbelievingly more than once - I did all my shopping at the Goodwill distribution center this year - .89 a pound for whatever you can find... good stuff in there if you dig!)

Now it's a nice peaceful interlude where everyone is enjoying something new or nibbling at treats. Bing Crosby is crooning in the background and the Invasion of the Non-Geeky In-Laws won't happen for a couple more hours. Aaaaaaah.

What does your family have for a 'traditional Christmas morning' breakfast/brunch? We used to do waffles, but it seemed too much of a bother this time.

Sounds like a lovely day, Prim - Happy Holidays :)

We have a couple of different 'traditional' breakfasts, depending on what mood we're in. Some years we have smoked salmon, served with scrambled egg and lots of lemon and pepper, usually accompanied by a mimosa, and other years we have croissants or pain au chocolat with freshly ground filter coffee. This year was pain au chocolat and coffee, and it was a lovely start to the day :)

Yummm! That sounds really nice. The asian market near here has a marvelous pain au chocolat with hazelnuts folded in, might be an idea to snag for a nice morning treat.
