Christmas Day should be a day spent with those we love, not spent in the kitchen any longer than necessary.
That means, unless those you love celebrate the day preparing meals and washing dishes all day, you need to put down your whisk and spoon and spend the day reveling in the once-a-year excitement of Christmas around the tree.
Yes, we all want to celebrate the day with feasting that shows those loved ones how much they matter, but that doesn’t mean we have to spend all day tomorrow knocking yourselves out in order to produce it. Relax: You can pull off a luxurious Christmas breakfast, remembering that if you don’t have everything on hand, grocery stores are open today — most till around 7 p.m. — so make your grocery run ASAP.
If you just steal a few minutes out of your busy schedule today, breakfast can be all taken care of, leaving you with little more to do on Christmas morning than turn on the oven before you join the family with coffee and eggnog in front of the tree tomorrow.
And just in case grocery shopping doesn’t fit into your plans today, this yummy casserole is also perfect for a lazy New Year’s Day brunch next week.
