[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this for Christmas Eve morning or Christmas morning? I’ve never heard of anyone doing a big brunch the morning of the 24th.

NP.

So you think no one anywhere has brunch on Christmas Eve because you don’t? Really?[/quote]

No, I don’t think that. I am curious to hear if a lot of people do this, because I honestly don’t know anyone who does. I’m always interested in learning about other people’s holiday traditions that are different from my own or my extended family’s.

I admit Christmas Eve is usually a whirl of last minute getting ready activities at my house, so I wouldn’t have time to attend a brunch on that day, let alone prepare one. But I am loving all the great ideas here because we do have a big brunch on Christmas morning and frequently on the 26th also, so I’m picking out some new recipes from this thread to try this year.

his is OP. I like the idea of the 26th and may try that last year. I like it a lot! Yes, it's as hectic as heck. I am busy working and renovating another part of the house. I will still need to wrap some gifts and all. I sleep well Xmas night!

So, you get up and have a big brunch the day before Christmas? When do you open presents, and when does Santa visit (if you do the Santa thing)?

I have guests in Christmas eve.  No one is working.  They come at around noon and we hang out by the fire listening to Xmas music and sipping wine and mimosas-- for as long as they want.  I have a 15 yo so Santa is done.  Our small family opens gifts together Xmas morning. It's quiet.  Other friends are coming for Christmas lunch.  After last year, I want to have people I enjoy around.
