50 Christmas Morning Breakfast and Brunch Recipes

By Diana, Contributing Writer

Christmas is my favorite day the year.  I'm a stickler for tradition on Christmas Day.

Each year, my boys and I wake up in the darkness of the early morning.  I put on a pot of coffee while the boys take turns jumping on dad, screaming that it's time to wake up.  As a family we sit in a circle, hand-in-hand, in the living room while Dad leads us in prayer. We thank God for the gift of his Son and for every blessing that he's given us in the year.

Before the boys can open any gifts, they know that mama needs to be holding a piping hot cup of coffee to sip on.

One by one, the boys take turns opening their presents.  Joy and happiness illuminates our home.  Well, that and a few scoldings as there's always bound to be something the boys argue about. ;)

Soon after opening gifts, as a family, we eat a hearty breakfast.  It's my absolute favorite part of the day. There's nothing that makes me happier than feeding my family a hearty breakfast in a house that's bursting with love.

I usually make a chorizo, egg, and potato casserole that tastes heavenly with a side of bacon, and a fresh squeezed orange juice.

Hands down, breakfast on Christmas morning is my favorite meal of the year.

To spread the joy and love, I decided to post a round up of 50, real food, breakfast/brunch ideas from around the web.
