Hi group, In answer to John W. Miller's question about Ampico
Christmas rolls, I have listed below the rolls in my collection.
It seems to me that several years ago someone wrote an article for
the AMICA Bulletin covering these rolls. I can't remember who
or when.

1. While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night, etc.
