One for the Table: Don't forget about breakfast on Christmas Day
Even though my husband and I celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, we still eat on Christmas Day. For us, Christmas breakfast or brunch always upstages Christmas dinner, because who feels like eating turkey and vegetables after all that seafood? Fruit salad, pancakes and frittatas are much more appealing. Chances are good that even if you don't celebrate Christmas Eve, you'll have a special Christmas Day breakfast or brunch.
