I think Santa is checking his list, trying to find who is naughty or nice. I can’t believe that Christmas is just six days away. Christmas morning is full of energy and excitement, so why worry about breakfast. This Overnight Eggnog Streusel Coffee Cake is perfect for Christmas morning. Prepare it the night before and all you have to do is pop it in the oven that morning while everyone is opening gifts and by they time the gifts are all opened breakfast is ready. Easy! Because let’s face it, I am always really tired on Christmas. My kids are early risers everyday of the year, but come Christmas and it is just about a couple hours after I find myself getting into bed that I have a house full of excited kids.
