This has been tradition in our family for many years.Matter of fact our daughter enjoyed Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day. I have always made up party platters of finger rolls, cheese trays, and meat platter with different types of rolls. Plus chips and dip and crackers with cheese. I make up a fruit style punch along with sodas this way when family and friends pop in they just help themselves. Our daughter always begged me to do this every year. It's so much fun when you have all your family around, but, now there on their own and spread all over the United States from Maine to Ari zonia
