Brunch at the Jefferson, starving myself until then and doing nothing but digesting for the rest of the day.

I feel so bad for all those employees working on Christmas.

It’s usually the best tips of the year and free food and if you hate your family, even better.

When I was a server I made next to nothing and was forced to spend hours away from my family. Hopefully it's more like you said at most of the restaurants that are open.

i’ve worked most every holiday the last 20+ years, to me, it’s just another day and people always seem to be nicer at least! :)

Always wanted to do that! Any tips for when to put in a reservation? I'd imagine you'd need to get a spot months prior.

It was not easy... Reservations opened on September 25th and I had to spend 20 minutes calling to just not get a busy signal and waited on hold for a half hour to get them. By the time I got to talk to a person she said pretty much all they had left were tables for two.

Sheesh! That does sound like a lot of effort. I appreciate your reply, I'll see if I can get a table for me and the Mrs next year :)

I think the other Sunday brunches in December take a bit longer to fill up, but are typically full within a day of opening. (They take reservations 3 months in advance.)

I'll report back if I survive the gorging without busting my abdominal wall.
