The Day The WOrld Met Donald

The beloved Donald Duck was first introduced to the world December 30th 1934. Donald typically appears in a sailor shirt that allows his tail feathers to peek out. His sailor hat may cover his head but he often gets irritated and blows his stack. As his semi intelligible speech is heard with his mischievous acts that often lead him to demonstrate his temperamental personality. Perhaps it is a good thing that Donald Duck has such good friends.

Donald Duck has appeared in comedic roles in animated cartoons since his first debut in The Wise Little Hen in 1934. That was the start of a long career for Donald who was often pitted against Mickey Mouse. Donald Duck also brought with him his beloved girlfriend Daisy and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Donald Duck has been featured in comics around the world. One artist who created Donald also created characters such as Donald's rich uncle Scrooge McDuck.

Keep Warm with Hot Chocolate #recuoe

Looks like the weather outside will be a bit frightful. My personal favorite thing to do is to sit inside the house ... look out the weather and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. Are you like me ?? If so you may want to try this delicious hot chocolate drink mix.

2 Tbsp Hershey’s cocoa powder unsweetened
1/2 cup white sugar (use 1/4 cup sugar if you like your hot chocolate less sweet)
3 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup milk (to be used separately from other milk)

1. Stir together the cocoa powder and sugar in a medium saucepan.
2. Add 1/4 cup of milk and stir constantly over medium-high heat until mixture begins to boil. Continue stirring constantly until all sugar is dissolved. Do not let it burn.
3. Add the remaining milk to the pan and bring the heat up to the desired temperature.
Top with marshmallows or drink it straight up!

Keeping The Real Meaning of the Season==== The Love of Baby Jesus

Matthew 1:18 - 2:23

Teaching children the true Christmas story is a very important lesson in our family and can be very fun as well. A regular devotion time is a perfect time to share with your child about the first Christmas. Sharing stories, asking questions and holding discussions can help them understand even more. Share with your child the characters who were involved with the Christmas story from Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus to the wisemen and shepherds and of course the angels that announced his birth. Ask them questions about the story and have them to tell you the story using their own words. You may want to include these two verses into your lessons

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be His royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Luke 2:11 The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord-has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David!
