What a special time of year… A closer look at Christ’s love, memories with family & friends, the joy of giving & sharing, festivities & celebrations, Christmas hymns & manger scenes… What an opportunity to spread the love of Jesus with others! Consider a way that your family might spread Christmas hope and cheer to others this year: maybe a special meal prepared for a sick or needy family, maybe a visit to a nursing home or hospital, maybe spreading God’s word through giving to a Bible printing ministry… In a country full of goods, its easy to focus only...
By Becky Ogden I wasn’t sure what to expect when we went to Holiday Lights at McCormick Railroad Park, except that the parking lot wasn’t very big so I wanted to be there early! Our decision to go was somewhat last minute, as I tried to decide between that and something at Desert Ridge. I have to say, though, that this will be a tradition my family continues every Christmas. It was that fun. We showed up, got a great parking spot, went to buy or train tickets, and having overheard someone say to someone else that they should get...
Yesterday, we wrote about the Duggars’ traditions leading up to Christmas. Today, let’s take a look at how they spend Christmas Day. Jim Bob and Michelle host an average of 30-45 immediate and extended family members for Christmas dinner, which is served buffet-style at their 7,000 square-foot home in Northwest Arkansas. Can you guess what the Duggars’ favorite holiday dish is? It’s not the mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, or even the assortment of homemade pies. It’s the rolls; the Duggars’ melt-in-your-mouth, Homemade Yeast Rolls. (Click here for recipe.) After dinner, the family gathers around the Christmas tree (decorated this year...
By Becky Ogden Last weekend, we went with Boy Scout Troop 461 to the outskirts of Crown King so that the boys could do some mistletoe picking. Outskirts actually makes it sound bigger than it really is. We’re talking well (26 miles!) off the beaten path nearest paved road here. Once we turned off the I-17, I found out why Mapquest says it takes 90 minutes to get there! After the mistletoe picking, apparently the tradition has been to head over to The Mill in Crown King. It is aptly named… Yup, that’s in the dining room! The restaurant has...
