It’s Christmas stockings and Christmas breakfast. In our family, my mom makes everyone a Christmas stocking. Whether you’re born into our family or you marry in, you get a handmade Christmas stocking complete with felt, sequins, and your name sewed across the top . My stocking was hand-lettered by my dad in 1971. (Note the color difference in the whites between my Christmas stocking and the Husband’s!)
That same stocking follows every family member Christmas after Christmas regardless of where the holidays are celebrated. As life changes, this one thing always remains the same. Our stockings show up days before Christmas and are suddenly filled with goodies by Christmas morning. Whether young or old, the stockings will bulge with Christmas happiness.
As a child, these stockings were the only things preventing total mayhem on Christmas morning. You see, we had a rule. We couldn’t open any presents until after breakfast. And breakfast always took an eternity to make. Well, almost an hour anyway, but to a kid waiting to see what was wrapped in those brightly colored boxes, breakfast took forever.
For me, this is being Home for the Holidays.
My family’s version of Christmas Breakfast Casserole contains several things that I no longer eat. First and foremost, gluten-filled white bread. It also has butter and sausage. I have never really enjoyed sausage, and I’m currently not eating meat, but I do love most things spicy and hot. I’ve transformed our family’s Christmas Breakfast Casserole to be gluten-free, vegetarian, and just a tad healthier. (Yes, just a tad. It’s still laden with delicious cheese.) Instead of sausage, I’ve tried to keep the flavor of our spicy breakfast with red and green peppers.
I hope you enjoy it, and keep reading for today’s giveaways!! Thanks, Mom, for making our Christmas mornings so special. See you soon, stocking in hand.
And will you be making this? No pressure, but it won’t be Christmas without it.

Home for the holidays means going wherever my family is or having my family come to where I am and have the wonderful sounds of everyone talking at once and arguing for who has control of the kitchen.
I love being home for the holidays especially since the weather where I live has been warm for us-Chicago. I always wait for another email from you for the next dish I will make and now I never tell anyone who doesn’t need to know that the dish is gluten free.(My daughter has celiac disease). And guess what everyone loves it and eats it. Keep those recipes coming. By the way I just read about the Cavemen cookies in a new magazine I started subscribing to-Clean Eating. I can’t wait to try them.
Home for the Holidays means not having to travel lots of miles to see extended family and being able to relax at home with my little family.
Home for the holidays is a good smell throughout the house of some yummy meals cooking in the oven,

Being a military family, we are very rarely home for the holidays. We are also from clear across the country from one another so we have to choose a coast if we do go home. It used to make me sad, but now we really focus on making memorable holidays for our children in our home. Very often we spend part of Christmas with our neighbors who are also away from their families.
That breakfast casserole looks awesome!! Going to try this one. Home for the Holidays means being with family and enjoying great traditions for me.
Home for the holidays means spending time with loved ones. Its not about presents in our family but more so everyone getting together, eating tons of delicious food and spending some quality time catching up and slowing down a bit. I’m really looking forward to it this year.

Home for the holidays means inviting our best friends ( who are Jewish) over for a tree trimming party (we have a mixed household) as well as spending as much time together with friends and family.

“Home for the Holidays” means being together wherever that may be.
Home for the holidays means exactly that. We never travel. There’s nothing like waking up in your own bed christmas morning!
Home for the holidays to me is really about having my loved ones around me. The cooking is fun, but just having people here is the best.
For me, it means travelling home to our families to spend the holidays with them, since we live in different states.
It’s my first GFree Christmas, but I already tried out a new version of my traditional egg strata that I also prepare the night before and stick in the oven first thing on Christmas morning. Surprised how great it turned out!

Oh! Home for the holidays is just the most coziest, lovingest, bestest time of the year!!! =D My mom was disabled in a car accident at a young age, so visiting everyone & baking for all our friends stopped. Now, I’m a young mom battling RA & the situation is similar. BUT, we have the best holidays! We may stay @ home, but all of that time is spent w/the family cuddling, playing games, making crafts, singing (yes SINGING! Former musician here – family jams rock!), & most importantly watching EVERY STOP MOTION CHRISTMAS CLASSIC that comes on! (Think Rudolph!) My daughter swears she has the coolest, funnest mom. That makes my heart grow 2 sizes considering… That’s what home for the holidays is for us!

Home for the Holidays has special meaning this year. Our immediate and extended families have had a very difficult year, and it’s so good just to be together to laugh, to cry and to support one another. My sister-in-law helped to decorate our home for Christmas, and so many people have showed us kindness this year and blessed our family.

Your breakfast casserole looks awesome, but WHERE does your mom get those stocking kits? We have the same tradition in our family. My mom makes stockings and we need a couple of new ones, but now we can’t find those awesome kits. Any suggestion? Sorry to talk stockings on a food blog, but I LOVE those stockings. =)
Thanks!

Home for the Holidays means being with family, no matter what day or where. We’ve even had “Christmas” the day after Thanksgiving, when my husband’s work schedule didn’t accommodate us going home in December.
Home for the Holidays means celebrating Christ birth with family, and lots of good food of course.
This will be the first Christmas I will be making things gluten and dairy free… should be interesting! Any one have an egg nog recipe?
For me, home for the holidays are waking up Christmas morning, kids opening the presents in their stockings and waiting very impatiently for mom and dad to get up and have breakfast (the rest of the presents had to wait until everyone was up, breakfasted and seated in the living room).
Home for the Holidays means being together with family and loved ones. Whether it is sitting at home eating Christmas goodies, watching a good holiday movie, or just spending quality time together.
Home for the holidays means being with family wherever it may be, eating delicious food, and most important lots of laughs!

“Home for the Holidays” to me means, spending the holidays with close friends and family that you might not get to spend much time with during our hectic lives/schedules.
Home for the Holidays means,,,, mornings & evenings with the family clumped around the fireplace, either christmas music playing or a christmas movie on TV (We watch one each night in December) eggnog or cocoa,
Having Santa’s Cookie Factory where all the kids and their friends decorate cookies for the big man,,,, older kids home from college, and christmas eve, we have a picnic under the tree and play I-spy with the ornaments. Each year, the kids have gotten an ornament that has a reminder of somethng that happened that year. When we play I-spy all the stories of the past are told in a kind of family oral history.

So pretty. I grew up with the same tradition. I could open my stocking and then we ate breakfast before presents. Of course my mother was probably still wrapping into the wee hours!

Stockings hold a lot of meaning in my family, too. I made Sophie’s stocking on her very first Christmas.
Honestly, stockings and the goodies in them are one of my very favorite parts of Christmas morning! They always have been

Do you think this would work with GF cornbread? I always have that around, but rarely GF bread. Also I wonder if it would work in the crockpot. I LOVE crockpot recipes.
Wow, your family’s Christmas tradition closely resembles mine! My mom made our stockings (though they are not as ornate as yours!). And had a rule that stockings can be opened before family breakfast, but the gifts under the tree had to wait until after breakfast. And we all now make the breakfast casserole the night before – so that it just needs to go into the oven while we are all opening the stockings. I look forward to trying your recipe. thanks!

“Home for the Holidays” means being with family. We had a similar routine with stockings first while the breakfast casserole cooked……until one year my mother got a new oven, and my husband who was delegated to put the casserole in the oven managed to close the “self-clean” lever on the oven, and as we were opening stockings, we didn’t realize his error until we started to smell the casserole being burned “clean”. No one has asked for casserole since then.

Home for the Holidays means my brother and his wife coming in from out of town. Spending time with them, my family and parents, and my 94 year-old grandma (we now celebrate with 4 generations) is what I look forward to the most!
Thanks for the awesome recipe
I am “Home for the Holidays” for the first time in 12 years (after out-of-state jobs), so it is all about catching up with loved ones!
Home for the holidays means spending time with our families, even if it means driving all over the place to do it!
