I stand by waffles with ice cream and strawberries (or other fruit)
covered in chocolate syrup with hot cocoa for kids and coffee with
Bailey's Irish Cream for adults. We never sat down to a proper meal. It
was the best day of eating of the year. We couldn't get enough! Mom was
SO COOL!!! It really was the icing on Christmas. We were famous for it!!!

Have the sisters bring their toasters, frozen waffles or cartons of ice
creams.
