Once upon a time, this little newspaper produced a big Christmas Magazine. It was packed with holiday events, letters to Santa, Sonoma renditions of Christmas carols and plenty more cheer. It also included wintery recipes straight from the kitchens of some of the Valley's most beloved eateries and chefs. So bask in the nostalgia of holidays past by cooking up some of these classic dishes found in the Index-Tribune's 1990 Christmas Magazine.
