Christmas Corner

The earth has grown old with its burden of care, But at Christmas it always is young.
- Phillips Brooks



I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.
- Harlan Miller



Christmas has lost its meaning for us because we have lost the spirit of expectancy. We cannot prepare for an observance. We must prepare for an experience.
- Handel H. Brown



Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

Spinach Dip Recipe

Ingredients:
1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 pkg. Knorr dry vegetable soup mix


Directions:

Step 1:
Thaw and drain spinach very well!

Step 2:
Combine all ingredients.

Step 3:
Chill several hours

Step 4:
Serve with crackers.

Note: Be sure to drain spinach until very dry - blot with paper towels until spinach is no longer moist, as this will make dip too runny and will ruin dip. Don't skimp on this step!
