It is also super helpful to set the table the night before. Then you can spend more time making sure you can enjoy the morning with your family.

But I think my favorite tip is to use festive paper plates and napkins. Trust me, the last thing you want to do is wash a pile of dirty dishes after breakfast. There’s nothing wrong with use paper products. Embrace it!
