Dave, you might want to try mimosas instead of straight champagne.

I like having waffles with strawberries for Christmas. Use real maple
syrup. We might fry a little ham with it. I have this nice
Portuguese porcelein coffee cup to make drinking the every day brew
more special.

I agree that it should be whatever you really like to eat.

I think a neat idea would be a fancy frittata, sp?, they're a one pot
dish, a little rustic, you can add what you have, basically, and
they're a treat (unless you eat frittatas a lot...).

Something that seems difficult but can be fairly easy are savory
crepes. Throw all the stuff in a blender, make them in a non-stick
skillet, put in swiss cheese, ham, a little parmesan, top with sour
cream. And you can make sweet ones too for kids -- with chocolate
and/or fruit. Even just jam.
