But this year i am doing something different as i am hosting christmas day i want to cook something different
Last year for Christmas breakfast, we made egg mcmuffins with ham/sausage, cheese and eggs on english muffins. We also toasted with memosas. For dinner, everyone asked that I make a ham dinner with all the trimmings. It turned out great.
I'll have my normal breakfast of oatmeal. We'll eat dinner around 3:00. It will be turkey, ham, potatoes, vegetables and pies for dessert. Supper will be around 7:00 and it will be leftovers from dinner. Seafood is awesome. If thats what you like fix it. Few people will turn down good seafood.
Mince pies, Turkey, Mulled Wine!
Breakfast something very light, try to save the room for the Christmas dinner. For breakfast maybe a bowl of cereal or toast. What I generally make for christmas dinner is either a big ham or a turkey. I usually go with ham cause just getting done eating the turkey for Thanksgiving. While the ham is cooking slowly, I make pies, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, and lemon meraine (mispelled sorry) . I them cut up some cheese, put on platter with crackers and sliced pepperoni which is an appertizer for those waiting for the meal. I also make the stuffing and put into the turkey (forgot to tell you the first thing to do to prepare the turkey). I also cook up 2 vegetables, boil potatoes to be mashed. I also put out a can of cranberry sauce. And the last thing I do (which I know I am forgetting something) is make homemade biscuits to go with the dinner. Make sure you have coffee at the end of the meal as most tend to have coffee or tea after. First time huh? I bet you will do a great job. Good luck and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Cup of coffee and a biscuit for breakfast; Traditional Christmas lunch, Soup, Dinner Roll, Roast Turkey, Stuffing, Roast Potatoes, New Potatoes, Sprouts, Califlower, Carrots, Green Beans, Brocolli and Roast Parsnips followed by Christmas Pudding & Cream for Dinner and a very late tea of a buffet comprising of Ham, Turkey, Cheese, crackers,crisps, crusty bread, sausage rolls, peanuts, coleslaw, salad etc.

I always do a cooked breakfast on Christmas day - eggs, bacon, sausage etc.
Turkey and all the trimmings for lunch
In the evening, I usually do a kind of buffet tea with sandwiches, vol au vents, mince pies, christmas cake etc
We also pig out on chocolates, nuts, figs etc through the day - and LOADS of booze.
Fairly typical, I think.
For breakfast or brunch my mom makes this wonderful Christmas casserole... I think you have to get it ready the night before, and bake it on Christmas morning... it has bread, cheese, and eggs in it...
or, my dad makes a hashbrown omelette, its got hash browns and eggs and onions and maybe green peppers, mixed up and spread it in a skillet... when the bottom cooks flip it over and top with cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles... then slice it like a pie to serve. It is amazing.
For lunch or dinner, a ham baked with pineapple on top, mixed vegetable casserole (cheesy and topped with ritz cracker crumbs), fruit salad, maybe some stuffing, pecan pie or pumpkin pie. Or you could do a turkey with stuffing, green bean casserole, a pie, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and just a lot of side dishes. Get creative with the sides, like my dad does this cornbread and oyster stuffing with pine nuts and cranberries. It's unusual but very good. Or do pumpkin pie bars rather than a regular pumpkin pie.
Good luck! Remember, anything you can prepare ahead of time, put in the fridge or freezer, and then just stick in the oven, is going to save you a lot of work and stress when everyone comes over.
