This year's "Christmas for Children" was the most successful in nearly a decade! Lutheran Social Services is wrapping the gifts today and reported back enough toys were donated to give every child in foster care in Benton and Franklin counties at least two! Our hearts were especially touched by the sacrifice of a child named Emily.

My wife loves making holiday goodies and it's one of my favorite parts of Christmas. But we'd never think of making our own candy canes. Turns out for good reason!

The land of the rising son is also the land of folded paper art. They also love minimalism and simplicity. Add those cultural traits together and you get a method for gift-wrapping presents that is incredibly simple and efficient! I've been wrapping like a sucker for years! Watch this!
The great thing about TBS playing "A Christmas Story" over and over is you can tune in at any point and have a good laugh. It's a riot from beginning to end. If you had to pick a favorite scene, what would it be?
