My family celebrated Christmas growing up, but being non-Christian we don’t have Christmas traditions like my husband’s family does. My mother-in-law has always prepared a special Christmas breakfast, so my husband wanted to continue with the tradition (not that he cooks, but I wanted to make him happy, so I do!) and have a special breakfast for Christmas. We celebrated Christmas morning just by ourselves. It was simple, calm, and comforting. It was one of those moments I was grateful to have my husband and kids with me, healthy and happy. I didn’t wish for more. Seeing the photos of our table with the food I prepared, I was disappointed as it looks so plain and I had to think over if this was really a blog worthy material or not. I decided to give it a go since I thought it’ll keep a good memory even if it was so ordinary. I hope to improve my breakfast repertoire in the coming years.
The origami snow flakes on the table and a little tree with names on our plates were made by our kids under my husband’s supervision. We had a Christmas dinner the night before and we used them for that, so I recycled them since I thought they were very cute!
Kaho, to me it’s still look nice & simple table set there… you are such a home body… It’s good enough as I didn’t even try to set a table, we were just opening presents in front of the tv without any breakfast.
Thanks, Nin! Our girls opened their presents before their breakfast, too, and I had to cook right after that. It might have helped to prepare breakfast the night before, but I had no energy….
I’m glad you decided to share this happy moment with us readers!
Thanks!! It’s very encouraging to hear this!
we had Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict the super easy way!
Smoke salmon from the supermarket + muffin – again supermarket then toast! + Poach Egg (microwave) + Hollandaise Sauce (from the jar!)
Easy and quick especially after opening the presents everybody is super super hungry and wants food NOW!! ^_^
The smoked salmon eggs benedict sound so nice! That sounds like a perfect Christmas breakfast!!
