Because everyone loves a good story
Thanksgiving at Christmas
Today I want to nominate three popular Christmas movies as Thanksgiving movies instead. They seem to have nothing in common at first glance, but upon further inspection I think you’ll agree that they’re the same story in different settings.
Join me for a quick look at how we can celebrate Thanksgiving at Christmas!
Bedtime Books and Goodnight Moon
What was your favorite bedtime book as a child? What book did you find yourself reading over and over again to your own child? And which book most often received the coveted Last Book Before Bed distinction?
We have several contenders for that spot, but today let’s take a brief look at the magic that is Goodnight Moon.
God Uses Boneheads

See how God uses an Old Testament patriarch despite his flaws, and be encouraged that He can do the same with you and me.
Cooking Up Some Memories
Baking can be very rewarding, especially when you sink your teeth into that first bite of cake. But baking with a toddler as your sous-chef? …Still rewarding, but a bit more stressful.

(And, frankly, even if you answered no, you should still read it to see how better to sympathize with the Type A personalities in your life. Take my word for it–they’ll appreciate it.)
Robin Hood and a New (to Me) Author
I’ve discovered an author, and I’m dying to tell you all about it! Robin Hood, King Arthur, ancient Britain–he writes about so many things I love, and he does it from a Christian perspective! Interested? Read on!
My Fair Lady, Metamorphosis, and McDonalds
What makes people change: cruelty or kindness? George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew disagree. I, however, think Shaw got it right, and the Broadway musical My Fair Lady is an excellent example of this truth. Read on to see if you agree.
