The Crooked Christmas Tree {Book Review}
In this real-life Christmas fable, when a Dad decides to let his kids select the family Christmas tree, he gets an unexpected lesson about God's love. In this thoroughly contemporary holiday story, a father lets his children choose the family Christmas tree. To his surprise, the kids pick one that is crooked. As he tries one thing after another to make the tree look right, he rediscovers the power of God's love. He begins to understand Christmas in a new way, particularly when his family decorates their tree and crown it with a star, never even noticing the crookedness he spent hours in the garage struggling to hide. The tender and laugh-out-loud narrative of real-life relationships propels the reader through the most un-generic Christmas story. This upbeat and comedic treasure refreshes the Christmas message of love and faith.
I enjoyed reading this book. In fact, I read it all in one day. 🙂
It isn't a long read, but just the right length. It has an amazing message, and really helped me to understand how God sees me....how God sees all of his children. A reminder that we are valuable to God. Great book! This would make a great gift.
Easy Christmas Treats!
Yesterday, I wanted to make some Christmas treats that didn’t involve a whole lot of mess making..LOL! Something that my girls could help with and enjoy doing. I decided to make “Christmas Kisses” and “Turtle Pretzels.”
Don’t they look mouth watering? 🙂

This year's wrapping paper selections….
Every year I go with a color scheme or a theme with my wrapping paper, gift bags, etc. Yes, call me crazy, but I like doing it that way. BUT…this year, I let that whole idea go and let the girls choose their favorite wrapping paper. I chose a couple too! 🙂 This is what we picked out!

{Great} Bible Verses for Christmas Cards
Every year, I go through trying to decide on a design for our family Christmas card. {I’ll address that in another post.} 😉
I always like to add a Bible verse in our card, after all, Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus Christ-our Saviour and God’s promises.
Online Shopping-Saving time & money?
As much as I love going into the stores, sometimes it can be really frustrating. The crowds are getting bigger & bigger the closer to Christmas it gets. Online shopping is just necessary at times. I shop online when I can get a great price, and get free (or low) shipping.
This morning I shopped a little online and found what I was looking for on sale for 30% off. It was 30% off a price that was already the lowest I’ve found, with free shipping & no tax. Yay! :o) I get excited over things like that, haha!
