To ensure that you can partake in the gift opening, and not be stuck in the kitchen, we have many overnight options like my favorite breakfast casserole. Just you can prep the dish the night before and then simply stick it in the oven on Christmas morning. Then relax and enjoy the morning with your family.
It is also super helpful to set the table the night before. Then you can spend more time making sure you can enjoy the morning with your family.
But I think my favorite tip is to use festive paper plates and napkins. Trust me, the last thing you want to do is wash a pile of dirty dishes after breakfast. There’s nothing wrong with use paper products. Embrace it!
Serve your breakfast or brunch buffet style for a quick and efficient way to enjoy it. People can pile their plates with what they want and then go back for more whenever they would like. This way, you aren’t stuck plating meals for everyone and instead can enjoy eating at the same time.
