Nana used to make date nut bread every Christmas. It has been one of our family traditions to eat this every year since as long as we can remember. Now that Nana has passed on our Aunt Janice makes it every year. When our aunt dies somebody else is going to have to make it or our dad will be very disappointed every Christmas.
