THE STOLLEN

 

The Stollen is a type of German Christmas cake which is a kind of sweet bread, enriched with a various dried fruits and nuts and covered with icing sugar.

German Families and bakeries alike treasured the own secret recipes for the Stollen, and all claimed to have a secret ingredient, details of which would be handed down through the generations.

The shape of the Stollen is like a loaf of bread and is supposed to symbolize the baby Jesus Christ wrapped in swaddling clothes.

I AM BLESSED WITH FRIENDS AT CHRISTMAS

 

I am blessed with Friends

Some of them are fruity

Some are soaked in alcohol

Some of them are nutty

Some are sweet

Some add spice

Some add zest

Some smell nice

But when mixed together

And yuletide is upon us

They become without doubt

The fruit cake of Christmas
