These are a Christmas morning tradition. Christmas morning I get up and get the dough started before we open any presents. Every Christmas morning, the kids open their stockings; we eat a yummy breakfast of Cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, bacon, and orange juice; and then we sit gather to open presents from Santa and the family.
