Ingredients: (Makes about 20)1/2 cup water
2 packages active dry yeast, (105-F To 115-F)
2 tbl spoons sugar
1, 3.5 oz. vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, (melted)
2 eggs, (large or jumbo)
1 tsp. salt
7-8 cups flour, (8 cups with jumbo eggs)
1/2 cup butter or margarine, (softened)
2 cups brown sugar
4 tsp.cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Directions:
ROLLS:
In a bowl combine water, yeast and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside.
In large bowl, take pudding mix and prepare according to package directions
Add margarine, eggs and salt. Mix well
Then add yeast mixture. Blend
Gradually add flour; knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl
Cover and let rise until doubled. 
Punch down dough 
and let rise again(This is the first time I made real, serious dough and was so excited it worked!) *tip: I warmed the oven and ten turned off the heat and placed the bowl & dough there to rise. (about 85 degrees)
Then roll out on floured board to 34 x 21" size (I had to use our kitchen table since normal people don't just have huge boards to roll dough on)
Take 1/2 cup soft margarine and spread over surfaceIn bowl, mix 2 cups brown sugar and 4 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over top.
Roll up very tightly. With knife, put a notch every 2". Cut with thread or knife (I used a knife and it worked great)
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 2" apart. 
Take hand and lightly press down on each roll
Cover and let rise until double again
Bake at 350F 15-20 minutes. Remove when they start to turn golden. 
Cream Cheese Frosting:
To make frosting, mix all ingredients until smooth and frost warm rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
Merry Christmas to me!!! These are so worth the effort (but be warned - it is a large effort!)Yummy :)
