Christmas eating is not just about the main meal itself. There are lots of different excuses for gorging on all manner of foods in all manner of occasions. One of our favourite things about eating during the festive period is having more time to fuss over delicious and not so health-conscious breakfasts.
Neither of us is usually a big morning eater. This has a lot more to do with always being in such a hurry than lack of appetite. Time off during Christmas gives us plenty of time to treat ourselves.
