Our five children are all now adults, two of them married. None of them live near us. So when they come home for Christmas, I ask, "What do you want to make for Christmas this year?" Because, while we've always made our Christmas sweet rolls, to eat on Christmas morning, we have experimented over the years with a wide variety of other treats, candies, cakes and pies.

Several years ago now, we found a recipe for sausage stars that we all enjoy. We make them some Christmases. And some Christmases we make other things and never get around to making these.

This year, Gregg and I made some for our Christmas Sunday School class party. We walked into the house with these appetizers hot from the oven, and offering them to our friends. What fun!
