My Plan For Christmas: Draft 2

I don't know why, but I love the act of coming up with my plan for Christmas. My first draft is here. But I've had a chance to narrow and specify the plan a bit. Also, we just took a trip to Montreal. So in this second draft of the plan, there are crepes! And maple syrup!

Things to be prepared the day before:
* Deviled eggs
* Fruit salad and/or fruit plate
* Spicy dressing for potatas bravas
* 20-layer crepe cake, with a little apricot jam in some layers
* A plate of deli meats (prociutto, salami, sopressata)

Things to cook on Christmas morning:
* Figs or dates wrapped in bacon (they can be prepped the day before and baked that morning)
* Potatas bravas
* Gimme Lean vegan breakfast sausage
* Platter of bagels, cream cheese, tofu cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomato, and onion
* Warm, mulled cider
* Coffee, sweetened with maple syrup (something else from Montreal and totally delicious)
