Do you celebrate Hanukkah?

Wrapping gifts and Christmas trees
December’s holiday spirit’s here.
Candy, cookies, a Christmas goose
And lot’s of Christmas cheer.

But others see a different scene
Of candles lit on differing days
A beautiful miracle described
Different celebration, different ways.

And others worship
With a prayer and fast.
As they remember
Sacrifices of the past.

Streams of green and red
Decorate the shopping mall.
But Christians and others know
God truly loves us all.

{Whatever you celebrate, and however you celebrate it–enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa or however you observe this winter holiday, have a good one and many more. Be safe, and encourage someone today.)
You are welcome to keep a copy of it. I wrote it as a gift to my friends, including the ones I have yet to meet.

Does anyone remember holiday cookies with a fun name sold at department stores?

I can’t remember if it was Woolworth’s or Montgomery Ward, or even maybe another store, but there were these really good sugar-like cookies with a fun name that were sold at the mall near my house during the holidays when I was a kid. Just trying to remember what they were!

Thanksgiving Cookies to Make in a Kindergarten Class?

I want to make a fun Thanksgiving cookie/dessert in my class, but I don’t have access to a microwave, crockpot, etc. I’ve seen turkey cookies made out of Oreos, marshmallows, and chocolate, but you need to heat up the chocolate, which I can’t do. Do you have any suggestions?
The problem is I don’t have access to anything like a microwave, toaster oven, etc. It’s just not possible for me to get one.
