It’s ornamental!

Holiday traditions.  Every family has at least one.  Growing up, my mom always made French toast on Christmas morning and we weren’t allowed to open presents until after breakfast.  As a kid, the anticipation of waiting until after breakfast to open gifts was brutal, but looking back, I understand why—she just didn’t want us filling...
