Christmas Day breakfast - what do you have?

This year my hubby and I have cut back hugely on our present buying for each other in order to clear our debt. Instead we've decided to have a cosy morning in together before we doing the round of visiting. We won't be having Christmas dinner til about 5pm ( at Mum's :D).

Does anyone have any ideas for a special breakfast? What do you all have?

Thanks!

    I have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toasted bagels (lashings of butter) with bucks fizz - good enough, but still sober enough for the business end of the day (cooking lunch ;))
