IT’S A NEW YEAR!!! Welcome to 2025!
Ok, you now have your NEW Year. What are you going to do with it?
HHHhhhmmmnnn, NEW, you say. Is this “New” like a NEW car, a NEW house, a NEW relationship…. even a NEW love (wow)!
How do we usually treat something that is NEW? Something that we have been anticipating for quite some time. We often treat it as something NEW, right? We treat it with great care and respect. We also approach it with excitement and longing to make the most of THIS new aspect, right? Ok, now that we have established the importance of that which is NEW…. how important is a New YEAR to you?
NEW Lessons! NEW Memories! NEW Challenges! NEW Opportunities! NEW Adventures! NEW Moments!!
Yes, dear friends, we have a NEW YEAR. 365 days to make the most of this gift called LIFE!
365 days! HHHhhhmmmnnn! As Hillary DePiano (playwright and author) says, “We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do with them.”
I long to make the most of each day. I trust you feel the same!
I long to treasure and reverently approach each day that our Creator has given us. I long to resoundingly put Psalms 118:24 into action! This is the day which the Lord hath made: “We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Let the rejoicing begin! And please know that the Ladies (Katherine, Kathie, and Karen) of Tis the Season Gift Shop (located across from Lyons’ Plumbing) look forward to communicating with you each day of 2025 via this blog. Yes, each day we will look at the Daily Celebrations (thanks to National Day Calendar and Checkiday) to see what we are encouraged to CELEBRATE each day of the year. As our theme at Tis the Season Gift Shop remains the same: Tis the Season to celebrate life, EVERY DAY IS A REASON TO CELEBRATE. Here is to 365 Days of Celebrating in 2025!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Welcome to the FINAL HOURS OF 2024!
Has it been a momentous year for you, or are you extremely glad to bid farewell to 2024? How do you plan to spend the last hours/day of 2024? How do you plan to usher in the New Year? Are you a New Year’s Resolution Type Person, or do you count that as plain nonsense?
Questions! Questions!
Oh! I have another question! Since today is NATIONAL CHAMPAGNE DAY, will champagne be your bubbly of choice to usher in the New Year?
Now to explain my reasoning for all the questions. Today is also MAKE UP YOUR MIND DAY.
Oh! My! Have you been considering doing something all year long? Did you declare that 2024 was the year that a certain event was going to take place? Well, you best get at it because this year is running out of time. It is now or never….at least for 2024.
But really, folks, it is not about making a forced decision before the clock strikes 2025. It is about what has been holding you back all along. Not just you, I am talking to myself as well. I have been wrestling with a decision for years…. yes, years!!
I know what is holding me back!! It is FEAR! Fear that I will make the wrong decision.
Yet, I know that living in FEAR is so displeasing to God. As is stated in Isaiah 41:10. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Hey, guys, I just landed on one of my personal resolutions for 2025. A resolution that should become my prayer. Dear Lord, help me to stop living in fear. Please give me the strength and courage to put into action Philippians 4:6. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Yes, let the praying begin as we bid this year goodbye and prayerfully approach a new one!!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

IT’S BACON! BACON, BACON, BACON!!
Yes, Tis the Season to celebrate BACON on this December 30, 2024! It is also time to celebrate NATIONAL BICARBONATE SODA DAY, too. Are you ready to celebrate? Especially BACON!
If you are like so many others, you will be delighted to celebrate Bacon today? I am guessing the hardest task you will have is to determine just how many ways you will consume this highly favored meat. If you choose, you can have it for breakfast, lunch, and supper…. plus, as a dessert, too.
For example, do you just love, love a Bacon Burger? How about a salad tossed with real bacon bits? What about a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich; I say, “Oh, yes, to a BLT”! Concerning dessert, do you plan to have chocolate covered bacon, too?
Whatever fashion you choose to enjoy your bacon today, the aroma wafting through your home will be the first signal you are on to something good. Then the taste will make it official!! It’s BACON! Bacon, Bacon!
I do not believe Baking Soda can top that, but it sure is a Multi-tasking Power, isn’t it? Not only is it necessary for our baking needs, but it also serves so many other uses, as well. It is a great cleaner…. for your clothes, drains, oven, sink, bathtub, tile, and even your teeth. Baking soda also has medical purposes; too, it is an antacid and relieves skin rashes and baby’s diaper rash.
Wow, Bicarbonate Soda might not get the acclaim that BACON gets, but it sure offers a lot of services, doesn’t it? However, if you plan to eat so much bacon today that you might need an antacid, I suggest that you have Tubs or Rolaids in your medicine cabinet. Trust me…. baking Soda as an antacid is just a little hard to stomach (yes, a pun was intended). It will work in a pinch, but I prefer to eat/consume my soda via cookies, cakes, and breads.
To each his own, though. On this next to the last day of 2024, you determine just how you plan to spend the day. However, I am guessing that you will enjoy plating up your bacon today in several different fashions.
Let the plating begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

12/29/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, December 29, 2024, where today is NATIONAL PEPPER POT DAY, NATIONAL GET ON THE SCALES DAY, and STILL NEED TO DO DAY. Most importantly, though, it is a Day of Worship for many. However, after worshipping with fellow believers, maybe you will be ready to take on today’s celebrations…. starting with the Pepper Pot.
HHHhhhmmmnnn, you have never heard of National Pepper Pot Day. Allow me to take on the role of History Teacher, please. Pepper Pot is a stew/soup that was created on this day in 1777, or at least that is how legend has it.
Ten days after General George Washington and the Continental Army had set up their winter camp at Valley Forge, their food supply was very meager. The winter was very bitter and harsh, and without food and proper attire (about a third of the men did not even have boots), some troops almost mutinied.
General Washington knew that something had to be done, so he sent out foraging groups to look for food supplies. Legend has it that General Washington told his baker/cook, Christopher Ludwick, to make a soup that “will warm and strengthen the body of a soldier and inspire his flagging spirit.” Whatever that was found to go into the soup, must have hit the spot, for the soup later was given the title of “the soup that won the war.”
Now this legend has been disputed by several sources, but since I love the idea of a SOUP being able to equip me to face whatever “war” I am facing today…. I am going to stick with this legend. Yes, soup sounds good for this day.
However, I certainly do not like the sound of GET ON THE SCALES DAY. I just don’t plan to do it! I have not stopped eating since Christmas Eve. But it is my plan to STOP THE EATING MADNESS on January 2, 2025.
But what is on your to-do list on this STILL NEED TO DO DAY before 2024 ends. Many love to start the New Year with a clean slate, so this day just might help you accomplish this goal.
So, let the final prep for 2025 begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.
Information for this blog came from Checkiday. They like the Soup Legend, too.

12/28/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Saturday, December 28, 2024, where today is NATIONAL CARD PLAYING DAY, NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CANDY DAY, and CALL A FRIEND DAY.
Are you somewhat free on this Saturday? If so, today just might be an excellent day to celebrate National Card Playing Day. With the kids also off from school for a few more days, you just might have enough participants to have some fun card-playing (at times, even intense) experiences for several days.
If the card games extend long at all, food (of course) will need to be served! Chips are almost mandatory, but since today is National Chocolate Candy Day, I hope you received several Chocolate Treats in your stocking this year, so they can be shared around the card table, too.
What is that? You have already eaten all that chocolate! No problem, a quick run to the grocery will refurbish that stash in no time. Besides, you know those beautiful, decorated boxes of Christmas Chocolates…I am thinking some of them might be reduced now, even by 50%. Yes, bring on NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CANDY DAY!!!!
The Holiday Season is an excellent time to celebrate CALL A FRIEND DAY, too. Especially if that friend sent you a Christmas Card, and you did not get around to it this year. Christmas Card or not, though, do the Holidays make you grow reflective and nostalgic? Do you remember past times and experiences that made you want to reach out and renew friendships? Yes, today would be an excellent time to call/connect with a friend to see how they and their family are doing and their plans for the New Year. Who knows, you might even schedule a time to be together in the New Year.
Let the calling begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye!

too! We will be open today and tomorrow, Saturday (12-28-24) from 10:00-3:00.

12/27/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, December 27, 2024, where I think that some of you are back to work today. Others remain in the Christmas mode…. still celebrating with friends and family. Some are blessed with so many gatherings that you might even be having one of those said celebrations today. That is another element that I love about Christmas…the extending of the celebrations. Some celebrate from before Christmas until the New Year.
I just wonder if anyone will be celebrating with Fruitcake on the menu today. If so, they will be right on the mark since today is NATIONAL FRUITCAKE DAY. What is that? Did I just hear some of you moan? Are you one of the many that give Fruitcake a bad name? Do you make fun of it and even make one and use it as a traditional Christmas doorstop? Yes, I have heard that people do that as a joke.
Not me, I have had some wonderful Fruitcakes in my 72 years. Not only are some delicious, but I also find them beautiful. Even if I cannot “sale” you on it, though, I think you might want to purchase one today. This just might be the perfect time to buy one, for I feel that your groceries will have them marked down by now.
Are you asking, “Duh, Karen, why would I purchase a cake, even on sale, if I do not like said cake?” Oh, I am so glad that you asked. You want to be ready to celebrate National Fruitcake Toss Day on January 3, 2025. Yes, it is a date, and I trust you will mark it on your calendar so you can be in for some great fun.
Doesn’t that sound wonderful…. the Year 2025 filled with fun activities…. starting early on with a Fruitcake Toss Party on January 3. Then, just let that be the start of a calendar packed with activities to bring joy to your family. JOY…along with PEACE, SAFETY, and SECURITY.
I know this is the prayer that many of us share. Let us continue with our prayers as we finish this year, and as we also prayerfully enter 2025. Seek His face and His GRACE and MERCY for our small, immediate world as well as the entire WORLD…. that truly needs our prayers (Israel, Ukraine, etc., etc.).
Let the praying continue.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

12/26/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, December 26, 2024! Did you survive Christmas?
Wait a minute, why would a Christian of over 60 years say such a thing? Sorry! As soon as I typed that statement, though, I googled Larnelle Harris’ song ALL YEAR LONG….to refresh my memory on “worshipping Jesus all year long” …. “to stay in God’s presence all year long!” Are you familiar with the song? If not, YouTube it. It begins with the concept of packing Christmas away, but it then quickly cautions “not to pack Jesus away at the same time”! Thanks, Larnell, I needed that.
Now I need to say that today is also NATIONAL THANK YOU NOTE DAY and NATIONAL CANDY CANE DAY. The timing for National Thank You Note Day is quite providential, don’t you think? After receiving so many gestures of kindness over the Holidays, it would be the RIGHT thing to do to show our gratitude. Thus, sharpen your pencils and start showing your gratitude.
Now, for National Candy Cane Day…are you a Candy Cane lover? I certainly am because I find them very refreshing. People love to decorate with them, too. Others love to use them in desserts! In fact, I saw in one poll that Peppermint Bark is one of the most go-to candy recipes over the Holidays. I understand; it is delicious and beautiful!
The Legend of the Candy Cane is beautiful, as well. The legend of how a candy maker wanted to create a treat that was representative of the true meaning of Christmas. Thus, he created a candy where the red represents Christ’s blood of atonement shed for sinners. The white stands for a sinless Savior. Lastly, the design of the Candy Cane is a J-shape standing for Jesus. A beautiful sentiment, don’t you think?
There you have it. A day where you might seek a little rest…. after a remarkably busy Christmas Day/Season. Or are you the type that loves to look for After-Christmas-Sales? What about Christmas Cards for next year? What about Christmas Candy sure to be on sale today? Yes, I am sure you can find Candy Canes on sale today!! Another very providential moment, don’t you think?
Yes, let the shopping begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

12/25/2024

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
Merry Christmas 2024!
Upon rising this morning, my first thought was “Happy Birthday, Jesus!” Then, I immediately started singing the song. No not the traditional Happy Birthday song sung at most birthday parties, but the song written by Carol Cymbala and first performed by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
If you have never heard the song, I suggest that you Google it and be prepared to worship. If you are familiar with the song, will you sing (or at least reflect on) it with me now?
“Happy birthday, Jesus. I’m so glad it’s Christmas. All the tinsel and lights. And the presents are nice. But the real gift is You.
Happy birthday, Jesus. I’m so glad it’s Christmas. All the carols and bells. Make the holiday well. And it’s all about You.
Happy birthday, Jesus. Jesus, I love you.
I love you, Jesus.”
Again, if you are not familiar with the song…. with some online video sharing sources such as YouTube, listen to this simple, yet immensely profound song. A song that I like best when performed by a young person. But whether young or older, may we truly reflect today…. that the REAL GIFT OF CHRISTMAS is JESUS.
On this Christmas Day, yes, I hope you receive some gifts, especially if it is important to you. But most importantly I pray that you have accepted the greatest gift of all, the Gift of Salvation granted to you when you ask Jesus into your life to be your personal Savior. The “Savior” alluded to in Luke 2:11. The Savior who is God’s son, who was willing to die on the cross to SAVE us from our sins. The Savior who became our REDEEMER…. our rescuer…. our deliverer.
Oh, yes…. THE REAL GIFT OF CHRISTMAS. So…….
Happy birthday, Jesus. Jesus, I love you!!
Merry Christmas.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Christmas Eve 2024!
Just how do you plan to spend Christmas Eve? Do you still have some last-minute shopping to do? Are you one of those families that have around three-four different gatherings with family and friends during the holidays, and today you will be enjoying one or two of those? Do you have certain traditions for today? Do you at least open one of your gifts tonight? Or is this the day you bake and bake and bake/cook yourself to near exhaustion? Yes, it is Christmas Eve, what does that look like to you?
For the National Calendar Folks, in addition to all your other established traditions, it looks like an enjoyable day to celebrate NATIONAL EGGNOG DAY, too. That sounds good to me, too, how about you? I love the taste of Eggnog as well as how beautiful it looks in a glass. Now, you can make your own, but my grocery’s offering is certainly good enough for me. So, if you enjoy this egg-based drink as much as I do, let us toast to a beautiful Christmas Eve 2024. Made even more beautiful if we focus on the true meaning of CHRISTmas. Yes, JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
Let us also pray for the ones, that for whatever reason, are experiencing grave challenges this Christmas. Whether in our own neighborhood or in other regions of the world, we know of individual families as well as entire countries that are fighting WARS this morning. Whatever the nature of their WARS (sickness, loss of a loved one, separation, political strife, etc.) may we pray that the PRINCE OF PEACE will visit them this Christmas Season with the “peace that passeth all understanding!”
I will drink to that! How about you? Maybe even with some EGGNOG!
CHEERS!
Until we meet again. See you, bye!

12/23/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate December 23, 2024, where today we only have two celebrations. Today is NATIONAL ROOTS DAY and NATIONAL BAKE DAY. Now I figure people have been baking for days to get ready for the 25th…. but celebrating our ancestors today, well….
With all the hustle-and-bustle of the Holidays, I do not know if many will be doing extensive research on their family history today. However, with all the various DNA kits that are now on the market, you just might get one of these kits as a present this Christmas. Or, if you do not find a DNA kit under your tree this year, perhaps you would consider purchasing one yourself after the Holidays are over.
Before you buy one, though, you best do your research. In your research, you will first discover that DNA kits are in abundance now. Yes, a lot of folks have decided to trace their roots by using their own DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).
Each kit provides the opportunity to trace your FAMILY HISTORY back further than traditional genealogy records. You will truly learn more about your ANCESTORY and where your family originated. This trip back in time will probably reveal relatives that you did not know you had, countries you did not know you were a part of, and maybe even some famous relatives (even royalty) in your background. Does that sound interesting to you?
For many of us, though, the only tracing that we want to be participating in for this Christmas Season is a trip back to Bethlehem. For many of us, we know that we have Royalty in our background; yes, we know that we are a Child of THE King. This is a study in genealogy that I find the most significant…the birth of my SAVIOR! How is that for a look into your background? Yes, I love studying/celebrating my Ancestry/Roots, how about you!!
As a believer who accepted this Baby Boy (Jesus Christ) who later grew to be my Redeemer on the Cross of Calvary, I am so humbly proud to say, “Yes, I have ROYALTY in my background.”
Royalty (a King) that I celebrate each year on HIS birthday!!
Let the celebration begin (continue).
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

12/22/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, December 22, 2024, where today is NATIONAL COOKIE EXCHANGE ‘s DAY. Most importantly, though, it is the Fourth Sunday of Advent, where the theme is PEACE.
Around 700 years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah prophesied about the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6. “He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Yes, let us celebrate the Prince of Peace, now. Then we can get excited about cookies and a COOKIE EXCHANGE.
I can get excited about that. How about you? How cool is it to sample everyone’s FAVORITE COOKIE?
How about a Cookie Exchange Party? I am in!! How wonderful is that….to go home from a Cookie Exchange Party with your own tray of various cookies.
Now, since I cannot send you my Favorite Cookie over the internet. I will just have to send you the recipe for my Thumbelina Cookies. If I have a signature cookie, it is the Thumbelina. Here is my recipe (exchange) for the Thumbelina.
Thumbelina Cookies: ½ cup softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk well beaten, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 cup plain flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 egg white unbeaten, and 1 cup chopped pecans (maybe a little more). In mixer cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg yok and vanilla. Blend in flour and salt, stirring only to incorporate. Shape into 1-inch balls. Dip each ball in egg white, then roll the ball in the nuts. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Dent center of each ball with a spoon. Bake in a preheated 325-350-degree oven for 17 to 20 minutes depending on the heat of your oven. You can check after about 15 minutes of baking to ensure that they are not getting too brown on the bottom. Cool, then fill with tinted butter frosting. Makes about 2 dozen.
Tinted Butter Frosting: 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1 stick of softened butter, 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Beat with mixer until fluffy. Add more cream if it appears too thick. Choose your color and tint accordingly. I make a simple flower (color of choice) and stem/leaf for them (green, of course). If you choose, though, you can just put on a dollop of icing.
Bon appetite.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

As today is our last opportunity to help you with your Christmas needs for 2024 at Tis the Season Gift Shop…..Kathie, Katherine, and Karen want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. And if you haven’t had a chance to visit with us this Season, Katherine will be there today from 10:00-3:00. She would love to help you with any last minute needs, and Christmas items are now 50 percent off. May God bless you.

12/21/2024

WELCOME WINTER 2024! BURR!!
Are you ready for the Winter Solstice? Or are you saying, “BAH-HUMBUG”?
Speaking of Bah-Humbug, guess what! It is Bah-Humbug Day. However, it is the day you are challenged NOT to be a scrooge.
So, to keep your Scrooge Persona in the background, let us see if any of today’s other celebrations will help keep your inner Ebenezer at bay.
Check it out! Today is CROSSWORD PUZZLE DAY and RIBBON CANDY DAY.
Ok, Ebenezer, I am hearing your snide remarks. I hear you wondering how we will have time to celebrate puzzles today. Well, maybe not time to work on them, but do you have an avid crossword puzzle fan in your family? If so, I believe they would love to see puzzles in their stockings.
Ribbon Candy also piqued my interest, too. First, it is such beautiful candy. However, I could not believe it, though, when looking for blog images this morning, I found a recipe for Ribbon Candy. I am interested! I am wondering, though, just how hard it would be to achieve the Ribbon Look! This Ebenezer is wondering if she can do it.
WAIT, today we are to resist any Ebenezer thoughts that creep into our mind. So, I just told my Ebenezer Voice to hush. How about you? What can we ALL do today to be the voice of CHRISTMAS CHEER!! Even Ebenezer, after viewing his Christmas past, present, and future, saw a profound reason to change. Could Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL teach each of US the same great lesson today, too? Yes, let the learning/changing begin.
However, before I sign off for the day, I want to mention that this is the last day our gift shop, Tis the Season will be open before Christmas. Yes, this will be our last chance to help you with your Christmas shopping for 2024. After today, we will not open again until Friday, December 27.
Remember, our Christmas items are now 50 percent off. We also have antiques, home décor, creations by local artisans, books, etc. Plus, with your purchases, Katherine will gladly put your items in decorative gift bags for you. Just one of the many ways, we try to meet your needs at Tis the Season. Katherine looks forward to seeing you today.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Still searching for that ONE-OF-A-KIND GIFT. Well, we think we have some at Tis The Season Gift Shop. Many are vintage such as a Daniel Boone Liqour Decanter, Cookies Presses, Antique Jewelry, Glassware, and Pottery. We will be open today and tomorrow, 10:00-3:00, with Christmas 50 percent off.

12/20/2024

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, December 20, 2024, where today is GO CAROLING DAY and GAMES DAY. Oh, yes, we must not forget, TODAY IS ALSO UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER DAY, TOO!!!!!! But first, let us talk caroling.
I love caroling; how about you? Would your family be up to an impromptu caroling experience today? All it takes is a few willing participates and 2-3 carols in your repertoire ….and you are ready to go caroling.
Trust me; if you have a few willing people (with or without great singing voices), you have this. I know of which I speak for my church, New Salem Baptist Church, has been Christmas Caroling for over 50 years. We usually have a caravan of cars (a total of at least twenty people) and visit so many homes that we must do it over a two-day period. This year, our first caroling trip will be tomorrow, where we will visit folks in Monticello, Burnside, and Somerset. Then on the Sunday afternoon, we will carol again and visit homes in the Frazer, Mill Springs, Bronston, and Touristville region. Each year, the homes we visit seem so pleased with our efforts. Some cry tears of joy, some sing with us with such enthusiasm, and we all WORSHIP! Do not block anyone’s blessings today, including yours……try caroling.
Your family and friends might want to participate in GAMES DAY, too. With most kids out of school for Christmas Break (sorry, Pulaski County), they are going to need fun-filled activities. What about all those games stored away in the closets, basement, etc.? Your family might have so much fun that you will decide that some new games might need to be under the Christmas tree this year. Once again, you discover just how much laughter and enthusiasm can generate from a rousing game. Such fun will be experienced, that you will wonder why you do not do this more often.
But if you need more laughter, remember the UGLY SWEATERS. Maybe you could even have a Crafting Party and see if you can even MAKE the ugliest sweater known to man. What Fun!!
Yes, bring on the laughter and fun.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.
