For Christmas morning think of a totally different breakfast from usual: you can prepare it the evening before, and set the table for Santa Claus and his reindeers. Together with your child make brightly colored place names for your guests. For Santa Claus it's easy, but if, like everyone else, you can't remember the names of the reindeers, they are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen and... Merry Christmas!
