Hi everyone. Noel here. Do you remember just a few short years ago how everyone was kicking and clawing their way through retail store lines just to get the elusive Furby doll. Finding one was like searching for a needle in a haystack. If you did get a Furby that year, you probably got up at some unreal hour to wait in line in the freezing cold. I know that’s what I did. Well guess what? Furby’s back!

Hi everyone. Holiday Henry here. With Christmas fast approaching and today’s release of The Polar Express on DVD, I got to thinking about what an important party Christmas movies play in our Christmas traditions.

Hi everyone, it’s Faith again. While it’s true I don’t like the commercialization of Christmas, I do love Christmas lights. There’s something to be said for driving down a snow-dusted road with lights glistening on all of the houses. It makes the world seem a little bit brighter and it tends to bring people a little more in harmony with each other.

Hi everyone, Henry here. Don’t you just love Disney? I grew up with Disney and I’m making sure that my kids are growing up with Disney too. Bambi, Snow White, I’m not ashamed to admit that I like watching em.

Faith here. We all know that charity begins at home, but how many of us actually do our best to help others during the holiday season. While we are content to sit at home safe, warm and well-fed, how many others out there could use an extra blanket? A pair of mittens? How many honest, hard-working folks really need our charity to make the holiday season special?

Hi everyone. Henry here. I’m really into Christmas traditions and I’m hoping that we hear from a few of you out there that are into Christmas traditions too.
My family has some odd and some not-so-odd Christmas traditions that we follow each and every year. The first thing we do is bobbing for apples on Christmas Eve. I know that’s usually a Halloween tradition, but we do it at Christmastime too.

Hi everyone, it’s Noel. I’ve been thinking about Christmas crafts and I know that everyone is anxious to get started on their holiday projects this year.
Christmas crafts are such an important part of the season. They really help you get into the festivity of this time of year. Not only can you decorate your home with Christmas crafts, you can give them as gifts too. In my book, there’s no better way to get the holiday season started than with a good Christmas craft or two.

Hi everyone, it’s Faith. Let’s talk a little about Christmas gifts for Christians. After all, Christmas gifts for Christians should be a bit different than Christmas gifts that you would buy for your secular friends.
While fruit cakes and boxes of chocolates might be just fine for someone who doesn’t really understand the reason for the season, it’s not appropriate for those of us who truly understand what Christmas is all about.

Hi everyone, it’s Faith. I want to talk to you about Christmas decorations.
I personally think any Christmas decorations you use should tie in with the reason for the season -- not just snowmen, Santa Clause and reindeer.
Our next door neighbors have a huge gingerbread house that they put out on their lawn each and every year whereas our Christmas decorations include a nativity set, a giant cross and about a half a dozen angels. If we’re celebrating Christmas and using Christmas decorations to show our enthusiasm for the season, shouldn’t we do it right?
