The Giveaway that allows you to give to those in need!!
Let me explain a little bit. World Vision Catalog has a catalog that you can browse through full of gifts that promote growth and sustainability in Third World Countries. You can purchase items through thier catalog to send to those in need. Some of the things you will find are real life need based items such as: Sheep, Chickens, Clean Water, Medicines, Clothing. There are more than I can list in this post and the best way you can see for yourself what I am referring to is to go to the catalog yourself, by clicking
here.
In addition to the items listed above, they have another section that offers you the ability to purchase items that are hand crafted by individuals in Third World Countries and the funds are used to provide materials to those in need in Third World Countries. It enables you to help others in need, and purchase a beautiful hand crafted item for somebody on your list this year. It is a win-win situation! I can’t think of a better way to purchase Christmas presents than using this website.

I have been making this Casserole for the past 15 years or so and serving it on Christmas morning. I love the recipe because by the time Christmas morning comes, I am exhausted. Most of the time I have been up half the night wrapping presents, or when the kids were little, I was putting some type of toy together. The last thing I wanted to do on Christmas morning , after cleaning up the chaos of Christmas all over my living room ,was to go in the kitchen and cook a big breakfast. However, being the mom, I had to feed everybody!!
Today was one of my favorite Christmas traditions that I do with the granddaughters. We all bundled up in warm clothes, because of course our high today was only 32 degrees! Then we piled in the car and headed out to go visit Santa and Mrs. Claus!!
