Bread and Christmas

Oh Christmas breads. I love thee. Stollen. Panettone. Babka. Marzipan filling. Without you Christmas would be much less tasty. Other things I love about Christmas: vin fiert (Romanian for "hot wine" - or "Mulled Wine" as we would call it in America). Wood fires. Random community holiday events. Random church holiday events. Santa. The excitement of seeing Christmas through the eyes of my three-year old and five-year old boys. But European-style Christmas breads. For me personally you can't really enjoy the holidays unless you have a couple wonderful Christmas breads.
