After traveling for 3 weeks, I'm in denial that Christmas is coming so quickly! It's not that I feel stressed about it (thankfully we got most of our shopping done online while on the road!), but just that it's going too quickly and I want more time to savor it!
For the past several years, my parents and sister have spent the night at our house on Christmas Eve. I love this tradition so much—the matching pajamas, late night laughs, and spending Christmas morning together.
We've tried a variety of menus over the years but have settled on a big breakfast consisting of breakfast casserole (one bacon and one sausage), maple biscuits, and wassail (even though the girls and I are the only ones who drink it!). Later in the day we'll lay out some snacky foods, things like cheese and crackers, a cheeseball, and crab dip, since no one feels like preparing or eating a big meal.
Here are some of my favorite Christmas Day recipes, but I'd love to know what's on your menu as well:
