I look forward to reading this story. As soon as I post this comment I am going to check the recipes. Thanks for the opportunity to win an autographed copy of Holiday Buzz and the NYPD travel mug~
My favorite memories of Christmas was going to Midnight Mass with my Mom and siblings (there were 8 of us), then my Mom would finish the food prep and cook some more because on Christmas Day more family would come...mostly for my Mom's cooking, especially her banana pudding~
