Christmas morning brunch
 
Anyone know of a restaurant that has a good Christmas morning brunch? Does Katie Belle's have one?

Sorry can't help you red, but how 'bout you making brunch!

I was going to but I broke my elbow -- cooking is rather difficult right now.

I for one sure hope not. That day SHOULD be reserved for family and I'm sure those folks working there have family of their own and I bet they would like to spend time with them at home.... Where we should be too.

Ouch, Red. How'd you do that?

PT isn't the only one waiting to hear the answer.

Just an idea, buy a quiche, some fresh cut up fruit and voila!

Quite simply, I tripped, landed on one arm and pushed the radius into the humerus (and, no, I wasn't laughing), broke the radius cap. Would be nice if they could splint it or cast it, but no such luck -- don't use it (HA!) and wear a sling. Stupid thing hurts like the dickens.

I often thought the same thing when I worked all those holidays over the years! (had to be said)
Many people don't have families to be with and just might rather be working, hoping patrons will be a bit more generous on Christmas or glad for the overtime. An elderly couple hosting a houseful might just be better off taking the group to a brunch. People here on Lifestyle visits can't cook in the rentals.
C'mon over to my place, Red. I'll fix ya up a plate of scrambled!

Agreed! I was a nurse and worked many Christmases--even when I had little ones at home.

For most people, it's human nature to want to be with your family on Christmas day but the retail industry is a different animal. IMHO - I found almost all businesses were closed and to find a place to eat will require some calling around.

It sounds like it is very painful. Hope you feel better Red.

sands 12-01-2010 03:08 PM

Red, so sorry to hear about your injury and discomfort. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. Thank goodness for us, you're still able to type in the meantime!
