Personal Notes:
Note from my mom (Berniece)
We always made these for our Christmas trips to Florida on Christmas morning. My mother-in-law (Mabel Alexander) always looked forward to these trips. We took an ample supple of chicken salad sandwiches, celery and carrots strips for snacks. There usually were no restaurants open on Christmas day.
