I bake them from a recipe shared with me by a woman from Nebraska (who lived in another part of the assistant pastor's manse when I was in dental school). The recipe is titled "Gramma's White Bread--Yumm!!" --We also do a spaghetti dinner Christmas Eve--with angel hair pasta--a tradition Jonathan instigated. We set the table especially nice for this meal and then change it afterward to a different "nice" setting for Christmas Day. --We open presents AFTER breakfast and devotions/prayer on Christmas morning. We started this when the boys were very young and never heard a rebellious peep out of them about "waiting"! --The boys and I made presents in my workshop every year--too many stories to tell here :) . Jon is still talking about doing something in there this year! Ooooo–We do homemade cinnamon rolls Christmas morning.
