giftgiving and elsewhere in Spain the Midnight Mass is celebrated outdoors
with the shepherds, just as it has been done since the Middle Ages.

Break chocolate into small pieces and place in a saucepan with milk. Heat
slowly, stirring with a whisk until just before the boiling point. Dissolve
cornstarch in a few tablespoons water. Add dissolved cornstarch to
chocolate mixture and stir constantly until the liquid thickens. Serve hot
in warmed cups.
