Father Joseph Mohr had journeyed to Oberndorf , a small town in Austria. It was his new assignment at St. Nicholas Church. He was a quiet, meditative man and a deep thinker. He could better put his thoughts down on paper than to express them orally. Still his sermons, carefully given and simply spoken, always had been quite acceptable by the congregation. As he walked over a recently fallen snow, he prayed his new parish would be a good one and he would serve the people well. He entered the...

Some projects are best to do with adult supervision. You can use them as gifts or decorations. One of my favorite things was to decorate the lid of a jar, fill it with candy and give it as a gift. They were fun and easy to make. I hope you enjoy these other fun ideas. Popsicle Stick Santa Ornament Supplies: popsicle sticks, red, white and black paint, googly eyes, orange and red paper, foam stars, string, glue and cardboard square. 1. place a string for hanging and glue it to top of cardboard pi...

As the holidays approach, we humans are licking our lips in anticipation of the delicacies and huge amounts of comfort food that are headed our way. Our pets are not expecting all the luscious treats this time of year as we are, but once the cooking starts, their noses are on high alert – it’ll drive them crazy! This time of year, veterinarians notice an increase in cases of pancreatitis and other stomach and intestinal upsets due to the fact that dogs get fed food, either accidentally or by...

The Jewish celebration of Chanukah is often associated with the Christian holiday of Christmas, but that association has little to do with the significance of each holiday and more to do with the timing. Each is celebrated at the end of the year when the holiday season has hit full swing. But much like the story of Christmas, the story of Chanukah is a rich one. The celebration of Chanukah has a deep history that can be traced back to a successor of Alexander the Great. Upon conquering Syria,...
The holiday season is upon us and, for many, that means food, friends, family and more food. For those who are on a non-traditional or restricted diet, that can often mean eating at home first or going hungry. The folks over at Healthy Hippie Trading Co. want to reassure you that doesn't have to be the case. Owner, Sarah Rose, has been plant-based for almost 6 years. What that means is she, along with her husband John Nelson (aka John the Plumber), do not eat any foods that have animal products...

Two years ago, 2019, most of us celebrated Christmas (and the many other religious holidays of the season) the way we were used to celebrating holidays: we traveled, we shopped for extra groceries and special gifts, we got together in large and small groups and exchanged presents and prayers; we danced, we ate and drank together, we went to parties and concerts and holiday shows. We attended places of worship and joined other people for various specific holiday traditions and festivities; we...
