Ho Ho Ho **Gift for you

Merry Christmas Y'all.
Yes I say Merry Christmas!
I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me.
I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before...
I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too.
So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make you and the person you wish it to both smile and feel great!
Now for a tiny little gift for you, to make you smile, I have to rave about and share a new product I found.
                          HOT CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES!
                         OH MY STARS ARE THEY YUMMY!
      THEY HAVE MINI MARSHMALLOWS BAKED RIGHT IN AND A
                    MARSHMALLOW FROSTING IN THE BOX!!!
                              They really taste like hot chocolate too!

I have a box to send to you, along with some cupcake liners.
So if you would like a chance, just leave me a comment, that's it, just a comment by Sunday 12/9.
I will post the "winner" on Monday 12/10.

MERRY
CHRISTMAS!

Oh and if you would like me to mail you a Christmas Card, please email me your address to

I am trying my best to spread some Christmas Cheer this year.
BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS!

    Merry Christmas, Jenny! I have never been able to understand why people cannot just give the greeting they believe in. I would love to hear someone wish me "Happy Hanukkah!" just so I could return the greeting with the respect it deserves. Thank you for keeping Christ in Christmas!

    I am a Merry Christmas girl too! I don't get why people get so offended by that. I would not be offended in the least if someone wished me a Happy Hanukah or Happy Kwanza. Those cupcakes look yummy and I love me some cupcakes!

    Blessings

    I say Merry Christmas too! I could never get anybody to say it back in Vegas. It's better here. In fact all of the McDonalds here have Nativities set up in front. I love it!

    Those cupcakes look delish!

    Although it is probably more politically correct I usually say Merry Christmas too...but sometimes a Happy Holiday sneaks in. (-:

    Thank you for visiting me and leaving a comment on my snowmen, I look forward to seeing a post about yours in January!

    Merry Christmas!

    I found you through Pink Saturday! We British are a heathen lot, but we say Merry Christmas (Mostly. Apparently the Queen says 'Happy Christmas' because 'merry' has the added connotation of being drunk and it's not polite to go around suggesting people are drunk) and dismiss 'Happy Holidays' as an American fad (and a 'holiday' is a vacation, so it just sounds wrong)

    Hot chocolate cupcakes! Genius!

    Hi Jenny, I too say Merry Christmas. That is what the season is all about. I never did understand why they felt people needed to say Happy Holidays. On Leno the other night he said that the mayor of R.I. had named their Christmas tree the holiday tree because he didn't want to offend anyone. 95 percent of the people were furious. I haven't seen this new product. Sounds quite tasty. Happy to be a new follower. And oh, by the way; Merry Christmas!
    Hugs,
    Jann

    Cute cute background! Love it. Enjoyed your post. I was just thinking about saying "Merry Christmas" and appreciate what you have to say about it. For me sometimes it just feels so commercial to say it. Maybe that's why I went w/Joyeux Noel on my FB header? Anyway, I really do appreciate your thoughts and sharing them. Thank you!

    A hearty MERRY CHRIST-MAS to you too! I too am not politically correct which is just fine- I don't thing Jesus was either if I remember correctly!

A RE-Post...

Image
Hey Y'all! How are ya today? The weather is cooler...I am anxiously awaiting the first frost of fall! I think that is my favorite day of the year...well next to a snow day that is! I was fiddling around my blog, looking at the page views and out of nowhere this post had 6 views today, so I thought I would re-post it, I still feel it and believe it as much today as I did last year when I wrote it. As a matter of fact, reading it made me feel better. This post is from last November, I did a month of counting my blessings, this was day 2. Today I am thankful and blessed. I am thankful today that I am saved by grace. I love knowing Jesus as my savior. Image from google I love the knowledge that no matter what He is there for me. My dad told me once that when times are so tough, if you just imagine sitting with Jesus and talking to Him it will get better. I often picture in my minds eye sitting on the beach with Jesus on my right and my dad on my left and my husband behind me

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

A Witchy Swap!

Hey Y'all how are ya today? Waiting for the first frost of fall here! It feels like it will never arrive!  That morning the first frosty morning is my Cream Of Wheat morning, it is a silly little tradition I have,  just for me as Lee hates Cream of Wheat...ha ha ha. I am a seasonal eater too, so hot cereal is not a Summer food for me. Do you eat seasonally too? I was so excited that I  was able to participate in Vivian's   Witchy Hat Swap. It was such fun trying to decide what to do...Do I alter a fabric hat?  Do I send just a tiny hat and lots of goodies? Do I paint or paper a paper mache hat??? Decisions!  In the end I decided to send to Lynn at  Life on the Wienee Ranch  a painted paper mache hat that I embellished the devil out of...teehee. I also included a big ole bunch of goodies, which I neglected to photograph :( oh well, hopefull you will see it on Lynn's blog! Here is how my hat turned out It was such a fun swap! Thanks Viv for hosting it!
