Our Christmas Smorgäsbord
One of the joys of gathering with family and friends at Christmas time is the traditional
foods we prepare each year. We Andersons join with representatives of the Hughes, Haselhorst and Stagner Families, and this
is our traditional menu, going back to the olden days. The Glögg is now non-alchoholic, and some of the sugar is replaced
with Splenda, and there's a definate decrease in fat. Below are some of the recipes we
use, but most dishes in this menu are widely available in cookbooks and on the Internet. Your and our versions will always
be unique because don't we always add our own personal 'dash of this' and a 'smidgen of that'? Some of these dishes we never eat at any other time of year to keep them
special. Everyone has their particular favorites, and there's a lot of joy consumed along with the food. May your family have a wonderful
Christmas feast this year! The following was our
