    Christmas Morning Brunch Tips

    1. Plan your menu ahead of time. You can prepare a lot of these recipes in advance (such as all the baked goods), and stored in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Some of these breakfast items can also be made much further in advance and frozen, according to recipe directions.
    2. Prep your ingredients. If you aren't able to make something completely in advance (I hear you, cinnamon rolls just taste different fresh out of the oven) then prepare as much as you can ahead of time, whether that is chopping ingredients, making a dough, or prepping the dish and storing in the refrigerator until ready for the oven. Any little bit that you can prepare in advance will make things go much more smoothly. Being relaxed on Christmas Day and enjoying the time with family is what it is all about.
    3. Set the table the night before. Take out all the festive plates, mugs, flatware, placemats, and napkins and set the table the night before. It's one less thing to worry about on Christmas Day.
