Both Mrs. CBB and I get up early before everyone else to start making our planned Christmas Breakfast.
Christmas morning food and drinks wake the crew up as does a couple of pounds of bacon.
The lights on the Christmas tree is what motivates us to start preparing Christmas Breakfast.
You just get that feeling, well we do but I don’t know about anyone else but it feels good.
It’s a day where everything is closed in town and we are free from the stress of work, so we cook.
Plus it’s also the same day we cook a massive Christmas dinner which we are doing for the first time.
We all wear our jogging pants and ugly Christmas sweaters to give the food bloat some room.
Eating is love and for our family Christmas is a big deal because it brings our family together.
Sharing stories, eating, drinking fancy drinks and catching up on life is such a good feeling.
Christmas Breakfast Memories
When we used to drive to my in-laws over the past 12 years there was always a Christmas breakfast, lots of coffee, chocolate and liqueurs.
Those memories will last a life-time since we no longer can do that any longer so we’re hosting at our house this year.
Our bubble is small with only our immediate family but we still want to create the same memories we are used to.
Typically we are up before anyone else so we can start Christmas breakfast.
The pot of coffee will be put on and we will enjoy a nice Christmas breakfast before we open the gifts under the tree.
As we get older we realize Christmas is for the kids and the food is for the adults.
It’s more fun watching the kids faces light up when they open gifts.
After we are done our Christmas breakfast is when we gather around the tree for the procession of gift unwrapping.
What to do on Christmas morning
Adult Christmas Gifts
As adults we all decided that Christmas gifts were for the kids and we would spend $50 on the adults.
One family member mentioned that the children will ask why mommy and daddy didn’t get any presents.
We thought $50 was fair enough so we went that route this year especially since it will the first time without my wife’s mom and dad.
It gets heartbreaking for Mrs. CBB because she misses the big party every year at her parents house.
Trying to create new memories takes time but eventually she will get to a point where we need to move on.
What do you eat on Christmas morning?
On Christmas morning we celebrate the birth of Christ, eat, drink, and eat, oh and unwrap gifts
We get up early to make sure everything is ready to go
Christmas Breakfast will start cooking
When everyone is up we turn on Christmas Movies
Eat Christmas Breakfast which is typically sausages, bacon, eggs, toast and a Christmas casserole plus cakes and cookies. Ha
Open Christmas gifts after we eat and cleanup the kitchen.
Pass around the shots of Disaronno which is an amaretto tasting liqueur with an almond taste
Slice the rum infused Christmas Cake and set the Christmas cookies on our red clothed table.
Go for a walk to get some fresh air after we clean up the Christmas frenzy.
Come back and start cooking our Christmas Dinner.
Smile, laugh, eat and reminisce the entire day.
Later in the evening I will be roasting chestnuts on the barbeque.
Then we retire to our bedrooms to get ready for Boxing Day Sales.

Christmas Chaffle Waffles
The meaning behind the name Chaffle is a spin on three ingredients, eggs with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

HOME AND BLOG UPDATE
HOME UPDATE AND BLOG UPDATE
Bring on the snow! I’m just kidding but I’m almost ready.
Home Update:
I’m almost on holidays which is when I will be getting the carpet cleaner to give our carpet a fresh look.
The carpet is 25 years old and I have the wood to put down but just haven’t had the time.
Once that is done we will start decorating inside for Christmas and put our Christmas tree up.
In the meantime I’ve been baking with Mrs. CBB for Christmas as we will have her family here.
Other than that I am looking forward to some time off from work to start getting more done around the house.
Blog Update
Sara has been doing some behind the scenes work that you probably won’t see yourself.
I’m just waiting on a new page to be created so I can downsize my Free Budget Binder printable page.
One page will be all the free printables for your budget binder and the other will be resources, coupons, coupon codes and discounts.
Also, you may notice there are Ads on the blog just like most bloggers who blog to earn money to keep running the blog.
I’ve had to hire Sara and pay for plenty of plugins to keep the blog updated as I have no idea what I’m doing.
I’m sorry if they bother you but if I don’t I won’t be able to keep the blog running any longer as it’s getting pricey.
The bigger it gets the more money you have to fork out the cash.
Anyways, we’re working on making the blog the best experience.
Thanks for supporting me all these years.
