Around Lolly's Sideboard: Waffle House Christmas


We love to enjoy breakfasts at Waffle House!  Did you know that each year that they have special Christmas mugs for sale?  You better grab them around the end of November because they go fast!

When I unpacked my Christmas mugs this year and saw the few sets I've been able to acquire, I decided a Waffle House Christmas sideboard would be perfect.

Did you know that you can order authentic Waffle House merchandise by clicking on this LINK?

I was thrilled to realize that we could have true Waffle House waffles, syrup, grits, hashbrowns, and coffee right here in our kitchen.  We will be doing exactly that on Christmas morning!

Check out the mugs that we have been able to purchase the last few years.





The coffee is in convenient K-cup pods!



I used my white Fiestaware plates to mimic the Waffle House style plates.


And they also serve eggs (prepared your way or as omelets) so I included a bowl of eggs waiting their turn to be whisked into something delicious.


I love grits especially cheese grits!  How do you enjoy yours:  with salt and pepper, or cheese, or topped with butter and sugar?


Oh those hashbrowns!  Scattered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered, capped, and countried (gravy).  How do you order yours?



Yes, I was able to acquire a couple of menus that were about to be discarded due to excessive use.  I had to use them on this sideboard!

Now to the star of the show:  the waffles!


I've never been a fan of pancakes, but I absolutely adore a crispy, lightly browned waffle.  Waffle House waffles are my favorite along with their delicious syrup.


When my mama passed away in 2023, and I was cleaning out her household goods, I came across this Westinghouse waffle iron in the back of a cabinet.


Imagine my surprise and delight to find this note, written in my mama's handwriting, giving me the details.


My mother was born in 1930 and she obviously remembered her family beginning to use this very waffle iron around 1939!

We plugged it in and it began to heat immediately.  



What a treasure!

I made sure to have two of my mom's Santas on this sideboard as well.



I hope you've enjoyed this trip down memory lane with me and check back to see our Waffle House Christmas Breakfast!
