Though that might mean "Boxing Day" of course!

We had a large bowl of M&Ms and choc Father Christmases along with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and champagne on our breakfast table 😋. Seem to have eaten constantly since then in between swims. Nearly bedtime TG 🇦🇺

1 muffin, 3 cadburys roses and a healthy satsuma!

I've got some catching up to do! I had a slice of tiger bread and butter and a cup of tea.
On the plus side, I have nothing to do. We are going to friends for our Christmas Dinner.

Merry Xmas everyone, if you are on your own like me, I hope you get to enjoy your day, and if it’s bedlam in your house surrounded by your families I hope you all enjoy yourselves. I am going to open the Prosecco!

Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on seedy sourdough…

Followed by a couple of Quality Street and M & S chocolate orange biscuits 🤶

Croissants and brioche with thick spread butter snd marmalade, fresh raspberries and yogurt washed down with coffee.

It’s the only time of year we indulge in this breakfast.

Oh and Christmas Eve breakfast is always, waffles back bacon and maple syrup.

Calendargirl Wed 25-Dec-24 11:08:56

Oh, I am sooo boring.

My usual porridge, toast, orange juice, coffee.

No smoked salmon on the toast, no champers in the orange juice, no Baileys in the coffee.

But I did throw a few grapes in the porridge.

You mix stuffing for the turkey at the same time you’re stirring your porridge …

Thank you. He is so much stronger and doesn’t get wiped out by showering etc. I think he is doing well, as it is 1 month since leaving hospital, and they talked about weeks/months of recovery.

This is first day out! Our son is hosting dinner for the entire family. I’m driving so can’t drink😮😮. Could do with a restorative😊

When you get home 🍷*whitewave*!
Have a lovely day.

I'm sorry to hear your husband has been unwell WW but I'm glad he's improving. Enjoy your days everyone. I am waiting for my turkey to get to room temperature, it's life in the fast lane here

You switch the oven on to heat up in readiness for the turkey and somebody else switches it off because they think you’ve accidentally left it on after warming up bagels for breakfast.
