The Holidays Are Near!! Part two


Hey Everyone!

This is the second part of the Holidays are near special.

Everyone pretty much knows about the first christmas, but just to put into some detail....

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.The Shepherds and the Angels and there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who were lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. And the three wise men came bringing frankincense, gold, and myrrh for the baby Jesus.

So now we celebrate the birth of Jesus every year on December 25th. No one knows for sure when Christ was born, but researchers believe that he was born during the winter because of the pagan holiday, Winter Solstice was celebrated when he was born.

Stuffing! Stuffing! Stuffing!


Hello Everyone!

Today's blog is one of the holiday food favorites at Thanksgiving. Stuffing can be a mix of bread, veggies, cheese, pretty much anything! Heres some more info on STUFFING!: Most of the stuffings described consist of vegetables, herbs and spices, nuts, and spelt (an old cereal), and frequently contain chopped liver, brains, and other organ meat.
In the
Middle Ages, stuffing was known as farce, which means to stuff. The term stuffing first appears in English print in 1538. After about 1880, the term stuffing was replaced by dressing in Victorian English. Foods that are stuffed
Popular recipes include stuffed
chicken legs and stuffed breast of veal, as well as the traditional holiday stuffed goose or turkey. Many types of vegetables are also suitable for stuffing after their seeds or marrow has been removed. Tomatoes, capsicums (sweet or hot peppers), and vegetable marrows (zucchini) may be prepared in this way. Cabbages and similar vegetables can also be stuffed. Then, the interior may be replaced by stuffing, or small amounts of stuffing may be inserted between the individual leaves.

The Holidays Are Near!!


Hello!

Today's blog is about Thanksgiving. This is the First segment on a Two part blog.

We all know about the history of the first Thanksgiving. But let me refresh ya'lls minds.

In 1621 the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is now known as the first Thanksgiving. While cooking methods and table manners have changed as the holiday has evolved, the meal is still eaten today with the same spirit of celebration and happiness. The food that was brought had so much variety to it. The Indians brought five dressed deer and more than a dozen fat wild turkeys. They helped with the preparations, teaching the Pilgrim women how to make hoecakes and a tasty pudding out of cornmeal and maple syrup. In fact, they also showed them how to make one of their Indian favorites: white, fluffy popcorn! The Pilgrims, in turn, provided many vegetables from their gardens: carrots, onions, turnips, parsnips, cucumbers, radishes, beets, and cabbages. Also, using some of their precious flour with some of the summer fruits which the Indians had dried, the Pilgrims introduced them to blueberry, apple, and cherry pie. Along with sweet wine made from wild grapes, it was, indeed, a joyous occasion for all concerned.
The Pilgrims and Indians happily competed in shooting contests, foot races, and wrestling. Things went so well that this first Thanksgiving was extended for three days.

The only stand out thing that has changed is that we only celebrate for a day!
