Christmas Morning Breakfast
Growing up most holidays were spent going back and forth between both sides of my family, Christmas was different. It was the rare holiday that was spent primarily at home, not running back and forth between granparents' homes. The first part of Christmas morning was spent with me getting to see what Santa Claus had brought me and then opening presents between my Mom, my Dad, and me. After we had time together as a family we got started on Christmas morning breakfast. My maternal grandparents, Mimi and Bubba, would come over to celebrate Christmas with us and eat breakfast. It was a festive affair. My Mom and I would carefully set the table with her good china and use her silver serving pieces. The table always looked so pretty and grand, after all we were celebrating the birth of Christ. Even after I moved out we still had Christmas morning breakfast together as a family. As time has gone on we have changed a few things about our tradition. Now my Mom and I go to Waffle House and eat breakfast together before we go back to one of our apartments and open gifts. We even bring a gift to our waitress since she has to work on Christmas day. We also leave a tip of course!
