Conservatives who support religion (specifically Christianity) in public schools, is this a fair compromise?

In my school district, which my niece is enrolled at, Elementary schools hold holiday/ winter parties where they make snow flakes, snow men, they can make stocking, play with a dreidel, learn about the different holidays of the season, there are Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and winter sugar cookies, they also have chip pretzels and other snacks. It recognizes all of the holidays of the season and the time of year but respects all students. So, what is the problem? Why does it matter if there is no organized Christian prayer, teaching or any other prayer for that matter? The schools still allow Christmas recognition.

Lousy Hanukkah Gifts

Hanukkah: literally “The Festival of Eight Sub Par Gifts” in English. It’s the thought that counts, right? Sure, why not? Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa and Happy Holidays from Better Than The Machine! Ho ho ho! Festively directed and edited by Ballard C.

How is your family spending Thanksgiving and do you have any special traditions?

For us, we are going to my husband’s parents house for Thanksgiving. Us girl are going to cook and the guys are going to split fire wood for a camp fire later on. We also make Thanksgiving cookies (ginger bread cookies cut out in the shape of leaves, acorns and turkeys!) and decorate them.

Im looking for a sugar cookies glaze?

Im looking for a recipe for a glaze that I can dip or pour over my sugar cookies to make a semi hard surface that I then can pipe frosting on for more details. The one I have works well but doesn’t taste very good. Who wants a cookie that’s pretty but has a bad flavor. Open to any ideas, recipes and suggestions. Even a regular frosting recipe that gets hard. I’m getting ready to make Easter cookies on Saturday and need help. Thank you!
