Christmas Morning Brunch

Christmas morning is always a really special time for our family. We get breakfast started (usually a strata made the night before) and then unwrap gifts while it cooks. Then it’s coffee and breakfast around the table together. Here are some of my favourite ideas for a Christmas morning brunch, or for a different take on a holiday party, invite some friends together for a holiday brunch!
