Christopsomo (Greek Christmas bread)

I am hosting a (hopefully) traditional Greek Christmas eve dinner and wanted to make Christopsomos.  Does anyone have a good recipe they would like to share?

Thanks,

Thanks for the pointer.  The lack of some of the "fruitier" elements is not a problem, because I can add those bits in.  I was interested in getting a reliable recipe for the dough itself and this looks good!

I made Reinhart's recipe in the Bread Baker's Apprentice, and I thought it was very good. The only thing I didn't like is that I thought it was a little too sweet with all of the dried fruit, so next time I would reduce the sugar or fruit.
