Traditional Christmas Recipes

These are some of my all-time favorite classic Christmas recipes. You know, the ones you find in your great-grandmother’s recipe box. Pages and index cards with recipes hand-written in cursive, tattered, torn and stained from making them so much. These recipes are the foundation of so many Christmas memories!
