Breakfast is about an hour after we get up (between 6 & 7 the last few years, eldest DD is 5 now so it may be earlier if she is excited) - usually brioche or pain au chocolate.

Cant believe the number of people who have a cooked breakfast. I would struggle to do the present opening and down two big meals in a day!
We usually have croissants for breakfast, lunch at 1.30 and then sandwiches with the cold meat whenever we are hungry, usually around 7pm. Boxing day is cold meat and pickles which is laid out on the dining table for the family to help themselves.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0 -
12 ish we tried to have the cooked breakfast but it was all too much and ended up spoiling the day so if we have anything it is scrambled egg with salmon or just as always cereal, it is time for the kids so we make sure we are in the kitchen on that day as little as possible:D0

We have Christmas dinner in the evening (usually aim to sit down about 7-7.30pm). This is because we always have lots of visitors popping in during the day, so its easier to wait until we know we won't get disturbed...!

We have a fairly substantial breakfast at about 10-11am, though (family tradition is "pork pie", which is actually a sausagemeat pie :rolleyes:). Mr P can't stomach the idea for breakfast, so he tends to have croissants.
We also have buffet type snacks available all day, so if you are hungry there is always something to tide you over (quiche, cold meats, cheeses, bread rolls, sausage rolls, mince pies, etc) - this also goes down well with all the visitors who tend to tuck in as they are passing through!! :rotfl:
