Aunt Louise's Christmas Loafs
(NOTE: My great aunt makes this bread every Christmas and gives loaves to everyone in the family, including all married nieces, nephews, friends, brothers, sisters, you name it! She had 13 brothers and sisters, so you can imagine the excitement that goes on in her kitchen! Everyone LOVES this bread! She is getting on in her years now, and I would love to be able to continue her tradition when she feels it is time for her to stop, but we all hope she continues doing this for a LONG time!)
