Thank you so much for doing baking traditions. One of my favorite things every year is to explore my cultural heritage and make at least one new "treat" to share with the family that our ancestors may have had growing up. We don't have many old family recipes handed down, but finding a regional, traditional favorite is the next best thing...and watching the next generation's reaction to the first taste! I can hardly wait to see what it next... Hi there, I too come from a very small family with no really strong cultural ties, so I've gathered traditions from many friends and their families, and made them my own. I love playing dreidel, making potstickers, hanging the Christmas Pickle and the Christmas spider as part of our season. It's a small world, after all. ~ MaryJane
