Sounds like a wonderful holiday coming up for y'all.

How excellent!

My Polish/Lithuanian/Russian mother and her sisters used to make a nut roll that they learned from their mother. It was unlike anything I've ever had. All I ever got to do was to shell the nuts and then put them through the old blue hand-cranked grinder. Yet, what I remember best is the sight of my beautiful mother and my beautiful aunts swirling around each other in the warm, crowded kitchen, all of them laughing and talking and feeding me small pieces of sweet things.

Thanks for reminding me of this.
