Christmas Brunch

We are opening presents at our daughters home Christmas morning and plan to serve  brunch later in the morning.    

H and I thought this morning  we would practice making one of the things that will on the buffet.......lol....wink...wink.....does anyone really believe that we don't know how to make biscuits and gravy!    Truth be told....we just wanted biscuits and gravy this morning!

I have the table set in the kitchen for a quick bite.....still lots of things to do before Christmas gets here.    Is it really next week!!!!

I bought these dishes at the auction a few weeks ago.....

There is about 20 pieces .....$14.    It is a real mixture of pieces,  but I thought they would work well to layer with my white ironstone.

Now for the scoop on one of the things that will be on our Christmas brunch.    So easy......just pop open some cans of your favorite biscuits,  make the gravy and put it in a crock pot to keep it warm on the buffet table.  We like to crumble bacon or sausage on the top of our biscuits and gravy.      Easy peasy....who wants to be at the stove cooking when you can be watching the grands playing with what Santa brought them.   We will make quiches and monkey bread the day before and just pop them in the oven.    We will graze on goodies in the afternoon and have a wonderful Christmas dinner about 7:00.

Here is a  picture of what in my box of dishes from the auction     I really liked the big soup bowls....wish there had been a few cups,  but the cream ironstone cups work great.  

In the background you can see the stove with ceramic cake and pie lid covers.

Here's a closer look.  
  I found a new one (left photo) at a yard sale a few weeks ago.  There wasn't a bottom,   but it was only $5.     I like it better than the  apple pie lid

I still need to wrap presents....haven't wrapped narry a one yet....lol!   Hopefully I can get that done this afternoon!
