Christmas Morning Menu
🕑 Added 2023-12-21 21:42:39 +0000 UTCY’all. I can’t stop thinking about what to make on Christmas morning. I have a whole ass cookbook to write and all I’m doing is hyper fixating on one breakfast that I will have four days from now.
Obviously, there will be delicious Mimosas because I am a childless adult. Maybe I’ll whip up a mason jar of Vegan Baileys Grace (IYKYK). But how about the rest?
Granted, I will be making a Christmasy dinner. I’m thinking going with the usual suspects. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, maybe mac & cheese, roasted carrots. Either a roast or ham for Chip. So I don’t wanna go crazy in the kitchen especially since my dishwasher has not been replaced. Hi Landlord! If you are patron, HURRY THE FUCK UP.
(JK. I told him he could wait for the after Christmas sales because I am a sweetheart who is priced out of this neighborhood so I don’t want him to raise the rent)
But breakfast has me stumped! Do I make it easier on myself and just make a can of Pillsberry cinnamon rolls with maybe some scrambled eggs? I keep loving the idea of getting some impossible sausage and attacking it with a ton more herbs, then grabbing some puff pastry and making a British style sausage roll.
Or maybe all keep it more country and grab some pre-shredded hashbrowns to just do one of those stick it all in a dish, breakfast casseroles.
Thinking back to childhood, I don’t really remember what we even ate on Christmas in general. Breakfast or otherwise. My mom texted me the other day and said these days she just orders Chinese food. Which is hilarious and very evident that she spent many Christmases in Brooklyn. But surely she cooked when we were younger? Maybe the excitement of seeing moon shoes under the tree or my coveted items from Delia‘s just made me black out and not remember the rest of the day. Or maybe I just filled up so much on my stocking, which were always filled with surprisingly European goodies. Hazelnut cream wafers. Marzipan. Those chocolate oranges you get to whack and they break into segments…..
You might be wondering, Mamrie, why are you just drinking coffee till you have the shakes? You are obviously hungry based on how much you are writing about food right now… So just go eat. That dear friends, is a good point.
But mainly, I came on here to ask you… What are your Christmas morning food traditions if you celebrate and have them? Do you just grab a protein bar to get that extra energy to open gifts? Do you painstakingly make the same glazed orange and cranberry scones every Christmas morning? Do you rock paper scissors to see who has to go to McDonald’s and grab everyone McMuffins? ?
Yall I’m salivating….. tell me everything.

Clam Diggers w/ extra celery stalks. BOOM! Problem solved.
For Christmas Eve, we just do appetizer dinner and then drink too much wine and play apples to apples. Christmas morning, my mom always makes some kind of big omelet for the family, plus bacon, sausage, bread. We do Christmas dinner that night which is also my dads birthday, usually a roast, Brussels, Mac and cheese, rolls, maybe some other things.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Chip. Stay sweet and take care 🧡
As a Jersey Girl, we get bagels with cream cheese and sometimes we do cinnamon rolls. Fyi the trader joes cinnamon rolls are vegan by happy accident(:
