With mostly adult children, we had not had to do a breakfast for some time - each goes to their partners homes etc., but this year is the last in our big home.And now I have people for Chrissy Brekkie, I would appreciate hearing ideas or what you are serving!

if its nice do a bbq of bacon or ham, eggs, saussies (nice home-made style) tomatoes, hashbrowns, mushrooms, pancakes,crayfish with lime butter,prawns,use 'designer' bread instead of the presliced plastic bagged, asparagus on the bbq cooked in the bacon fat for 2-3 mins, nice sauces like holandaise (sp) tomatoe, my favourite is the tuimatoe its beautiful and I'm not a tom sauce fan but buy this for me! Champagne with strawberries, a nice fresh fruit platter too goes well after a full on cooked breakfast especially if your having a late christmas dinner. when there is just the two of us, which is every 2nd year, we always have eggs benedict, we have chooks so the eggs are so yummy, and a glass of champagne with a strawberry in the glass. Enjoy and have a lovely family christmas.

Pancakes with fresh raspberries and whipped cream - simple plain fare, considering what lies ahead over the next few days.

We're having the Kiwi Breakfast ingredients (bacon, egg, tomatoes, avos, hash browns etc) and Im arranging into stacks, with a kebab stick through the lot, just for the sake of a nice presentation! Then we have our big meal about 3-4pm. We only ever do 2 meals on Xmas Day!

I quite like my Xmas b/fast to be something light but delicious. A salad made using lettuce, smoked salmon, boiled eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, chopped dill, fermented carrots or plain carrot sticks with toasted sesame seeds and vinaigrette is my favourite.

Fruit salad and croissants. Easy and not too filling as the rest of the day is full of nibbles and large lunch.

We have either crossiants with ham, camebert and tomatoes or eggs benedict with ham or salmon on muffins or pancakes with bacon, maple syrup and home made fruit salad.All are served with wine spritzer with orange juice.Delectable way to start off christmas morning and keeps us going til about 1 or 2 for lunch as everyone always seems to be late.

one year I told the kids they could have ice cream for breakfast! They chose which flavours they wanted and that was that! It was a real special treat and didn't bother me in the slightest!After they've eaten they're 'stocking' chocs/lollies, they're not really wanting anything 'proper' till lunchtime (like me!), so don't ever want a 'proper' breakfast as such (although we do always have croissants, butter and jam and chocolate croissants too). So this year we're planning our main Christmas meal will be ready to eat at 1pm - very unusual for this household, but hey ho :) We'll see what happens (probably no proper meal till around 3pm - but it's Christmas :))

I was invited out to a posh Christmas breakfast once and our hostess had bowls of extra-good muesli, with fresh raspberries and Greek yoghurt and cream. That was divine. Followed by mixed breads and croissants and an array of fillings. Who could ask for more!

It is a way I preserve my carrots . The process is similar to sauerkraut only I use a whey starter. The finished product has infused flavours of whatever spices or fresh herbs I add to the fermenting liquid but they are still crisp and crunchy, just like fresh. They rate among one of my most favourite salad vegetables. Plus, of course they are very easy to serve - no prep or anything.

Nice and easy this year, croissants with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, camembert and a drizzle of mayo/chutney/dressing (whatever you like) along with bubbles and orange juice and/orcoffee or tea.
