5 Favorite Amish Christmas recipes
The Amish typically celebrate holidays in very no-frills fashion. In most Amish  homes you won’t find Christmas trees, giant plastic snowmen, or boughs of holly strung across the mantle. The Amish mostly reject these more secular trappings of the holiday. Generally, the only holiday decorations I’ve seen in Amish homes are, perhaps, some Christmas cards with snow scenes or reindeer taped to the wall or sitting on the mantel. Wrapped gifts are exchanged in some settlements where the tradition has caught on, but other communities don’t practice it. Amish communities vary great from place to place depending on local traditions and the individual bishop.
One way in which the Amish do express their celebration of the season is through food.
With Christmas now bearing now and plenty of holiday cheer to prepare for, it's not too early to take a look at 5 Favorite Amish Christmas Recipes.
