What are your Christmas Traditions?

Another one I forgot.

I've been making these at Christmastime since I was in grade school. Still do it, I just made a batch yesterday
=======================================================

Fruit Coconut Balls

1 (14 ounce) can Eagle brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 (7 ounce) packages flaked coconut (5 1/3 cups)
1 (6 ounce) package fruit flavored gelatin, any flavor ( I get 3 flavors, lemon, lime & cherry)
1 cup ground blanched almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
Food coloring (optional)

In large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut, 1/3 cup gelatin ( I use lemon), almonds, extract and enough food coloring to tint the mixture desired shade.

(Before I add the food coloring, I separate into 3 bowls, then add red, green and yellow coloring to each bowl, add some lemon juice to yellow bowl, lime juice to green)

Chill 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

Shape into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in gelatin to coat.

(3 more bowls with lemon, lime and cherry Jell-O) (Roll colored bowls in matching Jell-O flavor)

Chill. Enjoy.

These balls are always a big hit. Even a lot of people who hate coconut seem to like them.
