(Updated to include more recipes for the holiday season)
One of our Christmas morning traditions is to prepare a big brunch. We open presents really late – tortuous for the kids, but it teaches they a little self-control. Another tradition is to have each of the kids choose a Bible verse and read it aloud to everyone. After we take some family pictures, everyone rips into their presents. We’ve been doing this since our kids were young, and even now that they’re much older, my boys and their cousins still squeeze onto the same sofa in our living room and read their Bible versus. It’s so cute. I know this won’t last much longer, so I savor every moment.
Hearty brunches are perfect for entertaining family over the holidays. Everyone gets to sleep in a little more and the host and hostess can get away with making one meal instead of two. With all the holiday indulging, I thought you might appreciate a collection of Healthy Holiday Breakfast and Brunch Recipes.
