This looks delicious and easy. I think I will make it. Can you substitute a different bread - my kids won't eat raisin bread.

Last year made sausage balls (made the day before and popped into the oven), scambled eggs, and fruit (DH and I were doing low carb.) Hot chocolate for the kids, diet coke for DH, and mimosas for me.

Mimosas, fruit salad, hash browns, omelettes and some kind of bready thing. We eat between stockings and presents. Like pp, it's one of the very best parts of the day.

Baked french toast, boiled eggs, bacon, fruit, latkes, mimosas -- one of my favorite parts of Christmas!

The best kind of Christmas morning!

Hours later we do either lunch or brunch eggs bacon etc

I also like to prepare some type of French toast casserole that I prep the night before and just pop in the oven in the morning.

My parents will be here, and my mom traditionally makes cinnamon rolls. Then we'll have some type of eggs (probably omelets) and fruit.

Good question. Probably monkey bread or Christmas pancakes (just regular pancakes with red and green sugar sprinkles) with fresh fruit. Hot cocoa for the kids, coffee for the grown-ups. 
In the past we've done breakfast casserole (prepped the night before), french toast, or fresh baked croissants (thanks Trader Joes!).
