That wonderful Season of Christmas is upon us once again! Doesn't it seem like we just put away the dishes from Thanksgiving? Maybe you're already busy with the preparations...pulling out old family recipes, getting the decorations from the attic, or making that all-important list and checking it twice, so I won't keep you. I just wanted to be among the first to wish you and your family the happiest of Holiday Greetings.
I've included one of my family's favorite recipes for your enjoyment. One is irresistibly delicious; the other brings the delightful scents of the season into your home. I hope they'll become your favorites, too!
Sincerely,
