Thankyou for solving my family mystery.

I'm making it today, and hope that it will become part of our Christmas tradition. This bread came to me each Easter from our dear neighbor growing up. It brings back memories of her visit to drop it off, and of me sneaking little pieces of it from the kitchen whenever the opportunity presented itself! :) Thank you for sharing this recipe!

(I'm actually making this TODAY myself!) I’m sure you will! that will be a great surprise! :)
