My dad's a first generation Greek immigrant, and I've spent the past two Christmases with him and his sisters/mom. He cooks a lot (and well), and Yaiyai did when she was younger. My view of 'holiday snacks' is a little <a href="http://www.goholycross.org/festival97/fest_pastries.html">biased</a>: a vat of koulourakia, several trays of baklava, and these cheese (cream & ricotta)-filled baked and sugar-topped pastries that I can't recall, much less spell, the name of.
I've not eaten this unhealthily in, well, a good 12 months.
