Dear Midge,When I was growing up, the main attraction at Christmas breakfast was homemade cinnamon rolls!I remember going to bed Christmas Eve with the anticipation of opening gifts the next morning. I never thought much about the cinnamon rolls until I grew older. Every year, I would wake up as the smell of cinnamon wafted to the upstairs bedrooms. I would come racing down and straight to the Christmas tree! I remember my parents sitting with a cup of coffee and their warm, gooey cinnamon rolls as they watched all of us kids open our presents in a flurry. We enjoyed our rolls after the presents were all opened, sometimes they were still warm. I started the same tradition before I had children. I would wake up early and surprise my husband with homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. I’ve done this every year and now as my husband and I sit and watch our children open their presents, we are the ones enjoying the warm rolls with our cups of coffee. Ahhh, life is good. I look forward to making them again this year!If you’ve never made cinnamon rolls from scratch, you can follow arecipe such as this one. You might like this recipe, it uses frozenbread dough!I hope your Christmas morning baking goes well! Can you send me the recipe for that coffee cake?Love ya, Molly
