BREAKING OF BREAD

DURING NEW YEAR, BEFORE DINNER, THE FAMILIES GATHER TOGETHER
AND EACH MEMBER HAS A PIECE OF "ANGEL BREAD " (UNLEAVENED
BREAD). THEN EACH MEMBER BREAKS A PIECE OFF EACH OF THE
OTHER MEMBERS PIECE OF "ANGEL BREAD" WHILE WISHING THEM THE
BEST OF EVERYTHING FOR THAT SEASON, FOLLOWED BY A KISS
OR A HAND SHAKE. AFTER EVERYONE HAS EXCHANGED, THE PIECES
ARE EATEN.
IF A MEMBER IS OUT OF TOWN THE OUT OF TOWNER SENDS A PIECE
OF "ANGEL BREAD" IN A GREETING CARD TO THE FAMILY FOR
EXCHANGE.
