if you need a little
encouragement in the
gift-giving department.

Be encouraged!
It's not all about the amount
spent or on the trappings of the Season.

It really is all about
the LORD Jesus Christ.

Let's prepare our hearts for HIM!

Many Blessings,

I just made the decision the other day to make cinnamon buns as a gift for friends and neighbours this Christmas. I'm going to arrange them into a wreath shape to bake and tie on some festive ribbon. The recipe I have been using is the best I have tried thus far and I have memorized it. It's from the allrecipes website and is called 'clone of a cinnabon'. You make the dough in a bread machine, I use the pizza dough cycle so it takes just 45 minutes and only needs one rising. I adapt the same recipe for savoury scrolls which is what we had for lunch today - so easy!
Baking will be a whole lot easier this Christmas as I found a brand new food mixer at a garage sale last week for just $10. One of my best finds ever. It will be a while before I can afford a KitchenAid as they are so expensive here but this one will do me nicely for now. I read up the reviews on the one I found and one lady had owned hers for 15 years so I have plenty of time to save for the Kitchen Aid!
Hope all your Christmas preparations are going well. Blessings!
Ann

The apple tart and the cinnamon buns look so promising that I will have to try them! <3

Oh sure, tempt me with all these food items right before lunch! I haven't done much Christmas baking yet, but here are some to try. Thanks!

I enjoyed reading about your family show-and-tell too. It helps each child feel special.

These look absolutely delicious. I remember some of these recipe posts.

You are so right about what Christmas is truly about. We decided to give all our parents and some friends gifts to needy families through Gospel for Asia and Voice of the Martyrs. It is the perfect gift for the people who already have everything they need. Christmas shopping was a cinch! Blessings, Jackie
