Christmas Breakfast Ideas

Peggy, David and I are planning on going to MANDARIN in Niagara Falls, NY for Christmas dinner. About a week ago, she asked me for ideas for what to do on CHristmas day, and when I got an email from Mandarin, I got the idea and presented it to her. She asked David and once he found out that Katherine is busy on Christmas Day, he said YES. I must remember to call Mandarin tomorrow and make reservations. They open at three p.m. on holidays. However, I want to make sure that Becky has someplace to go and/or something to do for Christmas so I am thinking of having a CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST here at my house. I think I have decided on a breakfast casserole and a baked pancake and fresh fruit. I will even make coffee!
