This holiday bread is easy to make, although the braiding takes a bit of practice. I serve it for evening coffees, then use the rest toasted for breakfast. I also give it as gifts—it's delicious with cheese—and it always goes over big at Christmas bake sales. My husband's a dairy farmer. I work as a bank teller and stenographer. At home, I enjoy cooking and crafts.

At my daughters for Christmas and forgot to bring my usual Christmas-Braid receipe. Found this one and it's so easy to make with excellent results. Surprised that it makes three loaves which is great to take to friends.
