Found on the internet today. . .
This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable — and after hours of hearing her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year. Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, making sure we don’t forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn’t take it anymore and stated, “Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up, and shot.”
From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond, “Don’t worry — we already crucified him.” For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Don’t forget this year to keep the One who is the REASON for the SEASON in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.

Journal in a Jar
I found this wonderfully creative idea today. Here's a brief description and the link:
In the past we’ve made Cookies in a Jar (the ingredients are layered to resemble sand art), Mixes in a Jar, Cakes in a Jar, Fragrance in a Jar, Light in a Jar, Spring in a Jar, Sewing Kit in a Jar and Lemons in a Jar (see CM, July 1998, 1999 and 2000). I was sure we’d exhausted the topic. Then I heard from Janet Ward about something new: Journal in a Jar.
A bit more complex than previous jar gifts, Journal in a Jar requires the traditional jar plus a gift pack. The idea is to give a person everything they need to write the story of his or her life including appropriate and specific questions and prompts like: Why was your name chosen for you? What was happening in the world when you were born? What was your favorite hiding place as a child? What is your favorite hiding place as an adult? What is your personal secret to happiness?
