The weather has been so mild here, it hardly feels like the end of the year! Despite the unseasonable weather, we are still going to have a fair amount of soup this week– I just love soups 🙂 It’s a tradition to have butterball & noodle soup on Christmas Eve for my husband’s family. It is a kind of chicken soup. Butterballs are like a dumpling, made with breadcrumbs, cream, and allspice. They all sprinkle allspice on the soup before eating, too. Do you have any special Christmas traditions that involve food?
