Dough will be very stiff. Knead until smooth, adding a little flour if dough's too sticky. Coat rolling pin with a little spray oil. Roll out on large board to 1/4" thick. Spray cookie cutters with oil. Cut into desired shapes. Use a straw to cut out a hole for hanging the ornament from. Spray glass baking dish with oil.

Misty, I love your kitty Santa. He is sooooo cute. Does he live at the North Pole too? ;D I know you are into graphics at least photo manipulation. Did you make the Santa outfit? Thanks for posting him. Do you have a favorite Christmas song, poem, or any other pics you'd like to post? If you do, we would love for you to share with us.

Santa said you weren't good enough this year to get something like that. Maybe next year if you are really really good. ;D ;D

Santa may ask for a vacation from time to time, but he'll never retire. Christmas wouldn't be Chrismas without him. He is irreplaceable. Uh, sorry Angel. Guess you had better stick to your singing. ;D Hey, Ube, how about a favorite Christmas song, poem or pic from you?

Thanks Elliot. Cool. I like the cover of the Japanese album alot better than the US one. I think it gives a better impression of her singing. The US one seems to go for the sexy look. By the way, did you get the US or the Japanese import or is the Japanese import in Japanese?

Thanks you too, Jags. And yes, the snow pics are from one of our snow hikes. I love it when the snow clings to the trees like that. It is really beautiful. I love the poems you are adding. They are soooooo good. They also add alot to the thread.

By the way, did you get the US or the Japanese import or is the Japanese import in Japanese? Imported mine directly from Japan. I was a bit worried that the insert would be in Japanese, but it isn't. There's an insert within the insert that's Japanese, but the main part is all in English. And she sings all in English, too. The Japanese seem to love young female Western singers, so I guess the idea was to push her hard over there as she should be an easy sell. I have no idea how well it worked, though I suspect not as well as they'd hoped. The Japanese seem to like their Western role-model girls to have attitude (Japanese girls love that they seem so outrageous compared to traditional Japanese decorum), and Angel seems a bit, well, angelic.

The Shivering Beggar by Robert Graves Near Clapham village, where fields began, Saint Edward met a beggar man. It was Christmas morning, the church bells tolled, The old man trembled for the fierce cold. Saint Edward cried, "It is monstrous sin A beggar to lie in rags so thin! An old gray-beard and the frost so keen: I shall give him my fur-lined gaberdine." He stripped off his gaberdine of scarlet And wrapped it round the aged varlet, Who clutched at the folds with a muttered curse, Quaking and chattering seven times worse. Said Edward, "Sir, it would seem you freeze Most bitter at your extremities. Here are gloves and shoes and stockings also, That warm upon your way you may go." The man took stocking and shoe and glove, Blaspheming Christ our Saviour’s love, Yet seemed to find but little relief, Shaking and shivering like a leaf. Said the saint again, "I have no great riches, Yet take this tunic, take these breeches, My shirt and my vest, take everything, And give due thanks to Jesus the King." The saint stood naked upon the snow Long miles from where he was lodged at Bowe, Praying, "O God! my faith, it grows faint! This would try the temper of any saint. "Make clean my heart, Almighty, I pray, And drive these sinful thoughts away. Make clean my heart if it be Thy will, This damned old rascal’s shivering still!" He stooped, he touched the beggar man’s shoulder; He asked him did the frost nip colder? "Frost!" said the beggar, "no, stupid lad! ’Tis the palsy makes me shiver so bad." ;D

Planning on translateing a famous swedish X-mass story by Tage Danielsson that goes on TV every X-mass here. It's called Karl Bertil Jonsson's Christmass . But I'll probablly postpone it to the last minute then decide I waited too long and not do it like usuall... Übereil

I know what I want for Christmas now... Sorry, Venom. Santa said you weren't good enough this year to get something like that. Maybe next year if you are really really good. ;D ;D If I can't have her for Christmas than Christmas will be ruined for me. She looks delicious! ;D
