Christmas away from home
We had really nice, quiet, relaxing, and meaningful Christmas this year..just four of us.
The boys have been kinda sick for a week, and James played the hammered dulcimer for the Christmas eve service at our church...and we already have decided not to go up James's parents for Christmas (James was on call on 24th)....but we wanted to do something special as a family...so, we packed up everything including food, drove down to our friend's cabin on the Christmas eve:) Our friends generously offered for us to use their cabin..Thank you!!!
What a great way to celebrate Jesus birthday with family....

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 2008
Have a joyful CHRISTmas and a happy new year!
Love,
James, Hyun Joo, Caleb and Ben
O Holy Night
Placide Cappeau
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices!O night divine,
O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!

Handmade Christmas gift
We will be visiting with dear friends of James for the next couple days in Farmville, VA. I thought that I would make something special for this very special family.
I bought the fabric and made two blankets for the little girls (cut and tied the fringes), and homemade granola mix (I was running out of time so James helped me with this)
I'll post more photos when we get back!
Wholly Granola (from Calli's kitchen)
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 ½ cups sliced or slivered almonds
½ cup packed light brown sugar (optional)
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ cup expeller pressed oil
¼ cup honey (increase if no sugar)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups raisins or dried cranberries
(I usually sprinkle in wheat germ and flax seeds, and sometimes add coconut or vary the nuts I use. If I add a lot of other goodies, I increase the oil and honey to 2/3 and 2/3.)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a saucepan, heat the honey and oil until warm. Stir in the vanilla. Pour the liquid mixture over the oats. Stir gently.Spread granola in a jelly roll pan (I prefer the large stoneware bar pan). Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes (or not at all if you use the stone!). Transfer pan to a cooling rack and stir in raisins or cranberries. Allow to cool completely and then store in an air-tight container. Can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes approximately 9 cups. Enjoy!
