How to make brunch for new year's day
Set a late time for the brunch.
Don't start any earlier than 11:00am and keep the brunch running for several hours to allow people the chance to turn up when it's convenient. Consider having an open house for friends and family to drop by any time during a long, drawn out brunch.

Select from the following.
[1]. Time every day to have a brunch on sunday. Set a red (or green) theme for your brunch.
[2]. You may also consider eating as a time you'll work with your new night balance. For example, you might go out for lunch on thursdays or also bring in the wood chips.
[3]. If you're having the event, set a time about two and a half hours earlier than the time you scheduled. Allow people to turn up to eat, even if they were not invited.
[4]. Let every guest arriving know that this is a very casual, very comfortable affair. It's not about dressing up, just about catching up and sharing goodwill for the forthcoming year.
