Who would have thought hot chicken pie would become a treasured family Christmas tradition! But it has been for our family since the late 1800s. My great-grandmother wanted to give her family a special Christmas morning surprise after they returned from the chilly pre-dawn chores necessary to keep their small New Hampshire farm functioning. She prepared a heartier-than-usual breakfast for this special holiday and it became an annual tradition that not even two world wars or one Great Depression could interrupt.
