00:01 In trying to decide how I want to decorate
00:04 this year's holiday table, I was thinking you know, 00:08 we've been saying Jesus is the reason for the season. 00:12 So I wanted to decorate with things Jesus made 00:15 and think of nature. 00:18 So it may look complicated to you, 00:21 but it is very simple 00:22 and in fact, you know, next year 00:25 I may just start with a blank table 00:27 and show them how to do that. 00:29 Would you like that? 00:31 But for this, I took some old books 00:34 and I had some birdcages 00:36 and you don't have to match mine, 00:38 I mean I love birds 00:40 so I decorate my house with birds and birdcages 00:44 and in fact, I even have them hanging in my tree outside, 00:47 they did different of the trees. 00:49 So I took some birdcages 00:51 and I put a candle in a birdcage 00:54 and then I put some birds here, I took some old books 00:57 and I just put one on top of each other 01:00 and I just put a little Christmas tree on 01:02 and some birds and then I put another candle here, 01:07 then I took a larger birdcage and I put some trees in 01:12 and I put three angles for Three Angels Broadcasting. 01:16 We have to think of our home network here. 01:20 And also for more importantly the three angels message. 01:22 That's right. 01:24 And then I mirrored the image with the birds 01:29 since I had two birdcages, I decided I would mirror it 01:32 and do the same thing on the other side 01:34 but you don't have to do that. 01:37 In fact, last year I had all different kinds of lanterns 01:41 the naval lanterns that I used. 01:43 I remember that. 01:44 So nothing was alike, 01:46 so you don't have to have things alike 01:48 if you don't want to, I just happen to have that. 01:50 Just be creative too. Exactly. 01:51 And then I took greenery and I put greenery everywhere. 01:56 I happen this is silk, you can use real greenery. 02:00 You can go out and cut if you happen 02:02 to have an ivy bush 02:04 or you happen to have a tree or an evergreen tree. 02:08 You can cut some branches off of it 02:11 or in some leaves and spread that around 02:14 and I just put some berries here 02:17 and then I got some pinecones 02:18 and I put pinecones here and there and all over. 02:22 You can make it a Sabbath afternoon activity 02:24 just going around choosing in pinecones and berries 02:27 and things like that just as a family outing. 02:30 In fact, we did that as kids. 02:32 Yes, we did-- 02:33 that's the reason I thought of it. 02:36 Because mom had us doing all. 02:39 That's right. 02:41 Mom did so much with nothing, 02:42 we grew up so dirt poor really we had nothing 02:46 and mom could make something out of nothing. 02:48 Right. 02:49 Mom is very artistic and so and very good 02:54 with coming up with crafts, she was very good at drawing. 02:57 She used to draw in church to keep us quiet. 03:00 We would after and we try and guess 03:02 what she was drawing, and she just sit there 03:03 and just draw while she is listening to the sermon. 03:06 But she is very good at crafts 03:08 and so we learned all kinds of really 03:12 new ways in creative things to do. 03:15 So also what I did was I love snow, 03:20 I mean I just love it. 03:22 I know some people don't love it. 03:24 Me. That would be me. 03:28 But I love it and so I took some snow 03:31 and I just sprinkled this, 03:34 yeah I didn't sprinkle real snow. 03:36 I thought-- why don't you guys 03:38 were catching me on that. 03:39 Well, I was getting ready to adjust me, 03:41 I was getting ready it's the fake stuff guys, 03:44 that's the reason it's not melting here. 03:46 I see, look I just took some fake snow 03:49 and I sprinkled it all over, 03:53 I sprinkled it all over everywhere 03:55 and it just kind of gives it a really nice feel to it 03:59 and look to it. 04:00 It glistened. 04:01 And you know one thing you know that Cinda's famous 04:03 for to is her take home gifts. 04:05 When you're guests at her house if at dinner, 04:08 she's always got a little take home gift at your plate. 04:11 I love that and I look forward to those little take homes 04:14 because she's so creative with that. 04:16 And I love what you did this year for-- 04:18 and I think you're gonna want 04:19 to do the same in your home as well. 04:21 Well on an earlier program we-- 04:24 I did a recipe called cake in a jar 04:28 and this is a cake in a jar 04:31 and its apple streusel cake 04:35 and actually it seals so this will last 04:40 at least a month this will last if it seals. 04:44 Show what that looks like. 04:45 So here's one like this and as you can see its indented 04:50 so that means its sealed 04:52 and so I'm gonna show you all I did is I took. 04:57 I'll hold that for you. 04:59 I took a piece of fabric 05:02 and actually hold, yeah fold that down 05:04 and then you can take some, 05:07 I took some just twine like ribbon and-- 05:15 Tied it around. Tied it around. 05:17 You can wrap around twice if you want 05:20 and just tie a bow 05:21 and you can do your favorite fabric. 05:23 I mean this is just a really inexpensive burlap that I did 05:28 and each one of your guests 05:33 have a really nice-- yeah there's two of them. 05:37 Each one of your guests have a really nice take home gift. 05:42 Isn't that beautiful? 05:43 Yes, and-- 05:44 I love it set it by your plate. 05:45 You can make these, 05:47 you know, several weeks ahead of time. 05:49 It really is awesome. 05:50 Well, let's take a look one more time 05:52 to some of the foods that we prepared today 05:54 just to give you an idea for your holiday table. 05:58 And we're gonna start with oh, Linda's cake. 06:02 Carrot delight cake. 06:03 That's right. 06:04 And creamy potato puffs. 06:07 And then we have our tofu turkey. 06:09 Oh, I can't wait for that. With all kinds of vegetable's. 06:11 You got your vegetables and your turkey right there 06:13 but there is not enough vegetables on that plate yet. 06:15 Because you can never have enough vegetables. 06:18 We have roasted root vegetables. 06:21 And you know let's leave you, 06:24 we would like to leave you with the special Bible verse. 06:26 One that we grow up with, one that we loved it, 06:29 we've even said and you know by heart as well. 06:31 Say it with us. 06:32 John 3:16, "For God so loved the world 06:36 that He gave His only begotten Son, 06:40 that whoever believeth in Him 06:42 should not perish but have everlasting life." 06:46 May all your holiday meals be seasoned with Gods love. 06:51 Bye, bye everybody. |
