Advent Day 17- A Christmas Freebie

I'm stuck on Rhema Marvanne, folks, because I know her and because I think she is very, very gifted. I know not everyone will agree with me, and if you want to skip her song, go right ahead. You can still have the freebie. But I hope you'll listen to her sing "I'll have a blue Christmas"!

Advent Day 9 - A Christmas Freebie!

Children's choirs are really the only choirs I want to listen to. This one is sung by the Bulgarian National Radio Choir. I believe they are singing in their own language, but that makes it even more beautiful. Close your eyes and breathe deeply... can you feel the notes swell your spirit? I can!  Here's how it works: Just click on the image to gather your gift, and then scroll down to click again on the words "Click Me" to download the image.

Guest Blogger: Things You Should Know About Christmas Gifts

to access this freebie, please just click on the image.

by Sarah Mean


Distinctive Christmas gift ideas are often pretty difficult to dream up. With Christmas just around the corner, things develop into stress rather rapidly, if you lack some general ideas about the types of distinctive Christmas gifts you ought to buy for your friends and family.

With all of the work that goes into deciding  on the Christmas decorations upwards, using both "Merry Christmas" as well as "Happy Holidays" credit cards, calling up associates to arrange Christmas parties and the like, obtaining unique Christmas gifts is often a rushed and frantic affair. And although you need to find the best gift idea for the people you love, when you sense you are rushed and stressed, sometimes finding people unusual Christmas treats just doesn't quite happen quite the way we plan.

But begin using some creativity and you'll find that it's not too late yet to get great Christmas ideas. If you don't buy all your gifts ahead but you maintain your cool, you may possibly be able to create some unique Christmas gifts for many of your friends and relatives even at the last minute.

Perhaps you've got someone you need to buy a gift for who's a humanitarian - someone who volunteers at a few charities or likes to supply donations to help out the homeless or other disadvantaged people. If you do, you can actually consider a variety of of charitable contributions based around one of their favorite charities, - World Vision, Save Our Times, or perhaps some sort of local charity. Countless generous spirits sooo want to receive a traditional gift that will really make a difference in the lives of people less fortunate than you are.

Personalized items may also be given as unique Christmas gifts. And there is the wide variety of gifts that can be personalized, from necklaces, pens, plastic mugs, glassware, even golf ball sets. most of these unique holiday gifts can be adapted for just about any one; however they are particularly ideal for the men in your life.

And then for the woman, unique Christmas item ideas for women will certainly include jewelry of some description, and designer—or original—jewelry will likely be appreciated very much.

Looking to find the best deal on Christmas cards? Then just click on the image (above) and print out some of your very own cards. You can always add a personalized message inside just by printing it on the reverse side of the card. Then when it's folded, voila! Your own unique cards! (And these fit in standard greeting card envelopes, so no extra postage is needed.)

You most likely have some acquaintances who you're feeling you should get of a holiday gift for, but need ideas of what to buy that will be uncommon Christmas gifts they'll particularly appreciate. And perhaps differences that have clearly had plenty of thought put into it might make your acquaintance feel a little uncomfortable, particularly if he or she has not purchased you anything really special, or even worse - anything in any way. So having several novelty gift items for acquaintances can definitely come in handy.

It often is fun to give a novelty gift item containing something to do with the holidays, while still a unique Christmas gift idea. Every year or so I spend some sort of morning with our family, making hand made Christmas ornaments, and another afternoon making Christmas cookies along with goodies which might be whipped up into Christmas gift baskets - large or small, to suit the specific recipient.

What's in a kahoot? Plus digital freebie!

Well, first of all, a kahoot is actually spelled cahoot and it means a partnership or collusion. Usually used in the plural: My kids and I are in cahoots (kahoots).

When I was looking for a name for my new enterprise, all I knew was that I wanted "kids" in the name. So my daughters and I looked everywhere. ("Have you looked in the inkwell?" And Mother said, "Where?" "In the inkwell," said Father. But [it] was not there.")

Once my 18 month old baby put my keys under the carpet in the corner of his room! How I found them, I don't know. My mom put the scissors in the refrigerator. I often wander around looking for my glasses when they are on my face!

Where are some of the crazy places you have looked for or put things? Click on the image to see where Simon's cat puts things.




And have you ever bought a Christmas present early and then hidden it until Christmas, only to forget where you put it? That's me. Every Christmas. In fact, we have names for those kinds of places: Secret Place and Safe Place. I think they're in the vicinity of black holes.

So you don't forget to hand out those beautiful Christmas cards, here's a freebie template for you. Click on the image to download from Media Fire. You know, I'd love to see what you do with it!

Christmas In The Heart CU Freebie and a Free QP!

Since we moved back to the States from the mission field in the former USSR, my husband and I have found all our "family traditions" superseded by our children's new traditions in their own families. At first, it was difficult for me, even though many of the things we did here hadn't been done in most of the seven years we were abroad. So we've had to begin new traditions. We visit the children and grandchildren on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and then we celebrate our own Christmas together on Epiphany, the day when the wise men visited the infant Christ child, on January 7. That puts us in line with the Orthodox church in Russia. Change is good.... or so they tell me. I am nostalgic for our busy, noisy Christmases when our five children were small.

The three kings traveled a great distance to bring gifts to Jesus. This is my Epiphany gift to you. Would you return the favor by leaving a comment? Thank you so much... and merry Christmas!
