Those Christmas traditions

The presents have been opened and strowed across the room. You are exhausted because your kids got you up before the sun came up due to excitement of what Santa brought them. Then you do the same things you do every year. Those are called traditions. Are traditions important?  Yes in my opinion. It gives us all stability. With our world changing all the time, it can be very unsettling to all of us. You don't realize as a parent how important traditions are even to us older people until you can't do them. Our kids grow, get married and they share their Christmas with others. That other family. Yes you did it too when you got married. Then they begin their own. It's not a bad thing. You just have to find how you become included in the new traditions. That's where we are in our stage of life. We were fortunate to still have one child home this year. Guess what she wanted?  The same breakfast that we have had even before she was born for over 30 years. Even though she has slept in this morning, the tradition remains the same. 

So one of our traditions is something called Breakfast pizza. The recipe was given to us by a sweet family in my husband's first church. We had our first child by then but decided the next year to make the pizza. Now it's requested every year. Yes we have other traditions but this one is special even to our son and daughter's in laws.

We spoke with our daughter who lives in the west and she was making her Breakfast Pizza.

Feel free to include your Christmas traditions in the comment section for us all to see.  I always love to read to everyone does.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a blessed New Year. 

Here is my recipe for Breakfast pizza and pics from my new camera lens. It's been a good Christmas thus far. I'm a very blessed wife and Mom.




I line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, spray with Pam and then use Crescent rolls and spread all over the cookie sheet.

Fry a pound of sausage and spread across the dough.

Add potatoes.  I use shredded and in this case used O'Brien with onions and peppers.
 Add cheese of whatever kind.  I usually use Mozarella, Provolone, and/or Cheddar.  Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.

Lastly whip 4-6 eggs with 1/4 c. milk.  Pour over pizza while tilting the pan from side to side to saturate evenly.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes until brown.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
