5) Story:I have made these every Christmas Eve for years, since the boys were fairly young. For many years on Christmas Eve, Uncle Michael McCulken came to our house and celebrated Mass. We invited all the Albrights, Rose and Bill and their kids, Bob and Joan Doyle and their kids, and periodically some other friends to join us for Mass and then after, a Christmas Party. Everyone brought something to eat. Each year, there were many "traditional" treats, this is one of them.
