I'm coming in late, so I hope I have snipped this correctly....

Because we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in NZ, Christmas is a huge
event. I don't know anyone who makes a feature out of Christmas
breakfast. Those who are pulled between relatives might have a brunch
(combination breakfast and lunch) then a dinner (evening) or a
festive midday meal followed by heading off for another event at
rellies in the evening.

Personally, I have always put on (or attended) a big midday meal.
Reality is it's served about 1-2pm.

I agree it's too much to do both. One year I planned a big Christmas
dinner as it's hot here at Christmas and I wanted to try not eating a
big meal in the middle of the day. It was a flop. The day dragged out
waiting for the main event. I've never tried that again.
