My Step-Mom wants the new Kindle HD!

My step-mother told me she wanted the new Kindle for Christmas! It is more expensive than just a paperwhite, but it definitely has more features. I might like one instead of an iPad. I will do my research and see what my brain tells me.

However, if you want one, Amazon has a special running now where you can pay for it in 4 quarterly payments! Interested in the super-duper Kindle, then click

My Mom's Chocolate Covered Cherries

Every year I try to carry on the tradition of making candy for the Christmas Holidays. This year my attempt turned ugly. I search all over for cherries with stems and had no luck until I hit the local Walmart. The cherries were even organic! How great is that? I followed a recipe similar to one my mother used to make when I was a child. I must have done something wrong, however, because the chocolate that covered these juicy fruit developed bubbles and a white haze. I think it had something to do with "tempering" the chocolate, whatever that means. Oh well, my Christmas Cherries taste good in-spite of their ugliness.

An early Christmas Greeting

Those are my seven little elves giving you all an early Christmas greeting. After the photo was made, I gathered them in the garage to make a really fun craft:  Pompom Decorated Pinecone Christmas Tree (yes, that is a clickable link!)

If you click the link above, you will be taken to an article I wrote on Squidoo.com that will show you how to make these small trees with your own children. I had fun with the children and it was a really good way to get in the Christmas Spirit. 

My Christmas Devotion Begins Today!

December 1st begins a daily online Christmas devotional sponsored by members of Living Faith Community UMC in Hoover, AL.  You can find it here on Blogger at this address: LFC Christmas Devotional.

The study is following a book by Thomas Kinkade, titled Christ, the Light of the World. If you would like to read about the book, I wrote an introductory article on Squidoo. Click A Christmas Devotional. You can order the book from that site as well. I am donating the proceeds to LFC, by the way.

Come on, get in the holiday spirit. I dare you.
