Nativity sets and scenes are a wonderful part of my Christmas decorating. They point us to the true meaning of Christmas. I think they are a wonderful item to pass down to future generations. In my house I have several nativity sets: one from my grandparents, one that my mother made and another that my daughter purchased on a trip to Bethlehem. I also have a nativity scene within a cross that I believe is a wonderful reminder of the purpose of Christmas. It shows the Jesus is the reason for the celebration. That cross is depicted in the beginning photo of this article.
Nativity Cross on Amazon
I found a nativity cross similar to mine on Amazon. I think it would be a great gift for grandchildren.
Nativity Sets Passed Down to Me
My Grandparents Nativity Set
The photo above depicts the nativity set that was my grandparents. They would have it under their tree each Christmas. When they passed away it was given to me, the oldest grandchild.
Mom's Nativity Set
This is a nativity set that my mother made in ceramics class. She displayed it in her house each year and when she died, I got it. It now is on my fireplace mantle each Christmas. It is very special to me since Mom made it.
Right above my fireplace mantle is a window with a shelf, on it I display angel figurines that have been given to me over the years. I think they make a good addition to the nativity display with the angels all above the manager scene.
My Bethlehem Nativity Scene
When my daughter was 10 years old my parents took her on a trip to the Holy Land. When they were in Bethlehem, she bought us a nativity scene. It is very special to us and we display it each year.
Nativity Sets on Amazon
If you are looking for a special gift for a grandchild or godchild or a special person in your life, you may want to consider a nativity set. Here are a couple I found on Amazon that I thought would make great gifts.
The set above was made in Bethlehem from Olive wood. It is a modestly priced set that is still very nice. There are many other sets from Bethlehem that are listed on Amazon in a variety of sizes and price ranges.
The set above is a beautiful traditional set that comes with a stable and 10 figurines. It is just one of the many to choose from on Amazon.
May you and your Family have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is an absolute gem of a movie. I
discovered it while perusing American Airlines' in-flight entertainment
selections during a recent flight home from California. This comedy/drama was
released earlier this year and received enthusiastic positive reviews from
film critics and audiences alike. However, likely because it wasn't promoted
heavily or well, it had only a short run in theaters and I hadn't heard about
it before. (Such a shame to stint on the marketing for such a terrific
picture!) It deserves a much wider audience.
I am delighted to share my review of this wonderful, delightful, inspiring
movie, which is available to purchase or rent via DVD or streaming media.
Based on the First of Paul Gallico's Bestselling 1958 Novel
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris
Paul Gallico started his career in the 1920s as a sportswriter, sports
columnist, and sports editor of the New York Daily News. After
switching to writing fiction in the late 1930s, the prolific author wrote 41
books, numerous short stories, 20 theatrical movies and 12 TV movies and had a
TV series based on his Hiram Holliday short stories. Two of Gallico's most
famous works were the short story The Snow Goose (1941) and
the novel The Poseidon Adventure (1969), which was also
adapted for the big screen.(Source)
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris (1958) was the first of Gallico's four
novels about the adventures of Mrs. Ada Harris, a war widow and hard-working
charwoman for London aristocrats. Mrs. Harris's adventures continue in the
subsequent books in the series, Mrs. 'Arris Goes to New York (1960),
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Parliament (1965), and
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Moscow (1974).
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris has been adapted multiple times for stage and
screen:
A 1958 American TV episode for the television series Studio One starring
British comedian Gracie Fields.
A 1982 West German TV film, Ein Kleid von Dior (A Dress by Dior) starring Inge Meysel.
A 1992 television movie starring Angela Lansbury, Diana Rigg and Omar Sharif
(produced by Lansbury's production company and directed by her son, Anthony
Shaw).
A 2016 musical-theatre adaptation, Flowers for Mrs Harris (the
Gallico novel's UK title) produced by Sheffield Theatres in May 2016, with a
new production mounted in 2018 at Chichester Festival Theatre, which was
streamed online in April 2020.
The 2022 feature film adaptation I am reviewing, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (note the tweak to the title).
A Fabulous Cast of Characters
Here are the main characters of this charming movie set in the mid-1950s:
Ada Harris (Lesley Manville), a charwoman in London who cleans up the
messes of her well-heeled, arrogant clients. She learns that her beloved
husband, Eddie, a soldier who had been missing for seven years, was killed
in action.
Violet Butterfield (Ellen Thomas), Ada's best friend, who also works
"in service." Vi encourages the grieving war widow to try to enjoy herself
and get on with her life now that she finally knows Eddie's fate, taking her
out to a dance club in the evening and to greyhound races on their day off.
Archie (Jason Isaacs), another friend and bookie who takes their bets
at the races. Although he fancies Ada, she thinks it's too late for her to
love again and makes it clear their relationship is strictly platonic.
Giles Newcombe (Christian McKay), a womanizing bachelor and house
cleaning client.
Pamela Penrose (Rose Williams), another of Ada's clients, is a
beautiful but spoiled, scatterbrained, pouty and self-centered actress who
is also a slob, tossing and leaving her clothes and accessories all over the
floor for Ada to pick up and put away.
Lady Dant (Anna Chancellor), another client who spends lavishly on
parties and clothes (including a one-of-a-kind, beaded and sequined
Christian Dior dress that Ada falls in love with at first sight), yet
repeatedly deflects Ada's requests to be paid her long-overdue wages.
Christian Dior (Philippe Bertin), the world-famous
haute couture fashion designer whose first collection under his
own label in 1947 was dubbed "The New Look" by the editor-in-chief of
Harper's Bazaar.
Claudine Colbert (Isabelle Huppert) is the directrice of
the house of Dior and guardian of its refined, elegant, exclusive image. She
is offended and supercilious when an English charwoman invades the hallowed
halls of Dior, mistakes Madame Colbert for a shopgirl and naïvely assumes
she can purchase one of the master's iconic, one-of-a-kind
haute couture creations just because she has brought enough
money to Paris with her to pay with cash.
Marquis de Chassagne (Lambert Wilson), a wealthy, aristocratic
widower whose late wife used to enjoy attending the exclusive Dior couture
shows. He continues to attend in her honor and, when Ada is rebuffed by
Madame Colbert, the marquis invites her to attend as his guest. He
subsequently buys her roses and invites her over for tea.
Natasha (Alba Baptista), Dior's top model with an Audrey
Hepburn-eque, waif-like beauty. She would rather be at home curled up on a
couch, wearing a plain black sweater and reading Sartre than parading around
as a fashion model.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is a story about how kindness, courage,
honesty, hard work, a willigness to dream big and a single-minded commitment
to achieving your goals can, indeed, make your dreams come true.
It's a modern fairy tale grounded in some historical fact. Director Anthony
Fabian takes some liberties with Gallico's story. In an interview for a
July 22, 2022 article in Town & Country magazine, Fabian said, "The key to this story is that it is magic realism, so it has
to have an equal dose of magic and reality. If you go too far into magic, you
won’t believe it; if you go too far into the realism, it wouldn’t have that
uplifting fairy tale quality."

Stream, Rent or Buy This Heartwarming and Inspiring Film
There are multiple options for watching this movie, including:
This wonderful story encourages us to dream big but also keep our priorities
straight. I definitely plan to rent or buy the movie so I can watch it again
and plan to get the audiobook as well. Both the movie and the book would make
a lovely gift for any occasion, as well as a great stocking stuffer.

For today’s post, I thought I would rework an old post and offer up a bit of Christmas cheer in the form of a review of an event that a Canadian airline sponsored in 2013. Here's my story.
We were at a Christmas party when someone said, "You have to see this." They turned on the television and pulled up a video on YouTube. We all watched with amazement as the passengers from two planes scanned their boarding passes and visited with Santa Claus. What happened next, was truly unexpected.
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS REAL TIME GIVING (2013)
See for yourself what happened in this video called WestJet Christmas Miracle: Real Time Giving or Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Quite a video, isn't it? It must have been totally unbelievable at first. The passengers on that plane will never forget that flight with WestJet and nor will I. Not that I was there, of course. I was a participant via the video, just like you will be if you watch now.
SANTA'S BLOOPERS (2013)
And don't miss the Santa's Bloopers video. I love a good blooper reel!
FLASH MOB (2012)
But it turns out that the Christmas 2013 was not the first time Westjet 'performed' for Christmas for in 2012, the employees performed as a flash mob at the Calgary airport:
With over 50 million views of that 2013 video, Westjet definitely scored a public relations coup with their Santa Claus project 'Twas A Night Before Christmas and they made a pretty memorable day for all of the passengers involved. According to one newsreel that I read at the time, Westjet was planning for the next year right away.
MIRACLE MILES (2022)
Fast forward now with me to 2022 when I discover that WestJet has another Christmas Miracle video, this one called Christmas: Miracle Miles.
A quick peek on YouTube shows that WestJet may have done a similar video throughout the intervening years. I won't share them all here with you but I will smile at the kindness displayed in these videos.

Winter in the northern United States is well, just darn cold. After the
favorite electric throw had met it's demise it was time to hunt for a
replacement. This heated throw which can double as a blanket was highly rated
and deservedly so!
Auto Off Feature
This is an essential feature! Automatic shut off after 3 hours.
Three Levels Of Heat
Also essential is the ability to regulate the temperature. Three level
of warmth are available to regulate.
Machine Washable
Absolutely! Especially if you have fur babies (and the war will be on as to
who scores the blanket to cuddle). Simply remove the cords and controller and
the throw can be washed. The throw also comes in a solid color vs one
side solid/serpa.
Micro Fabric
I like the soft, plush and cushy micro fabric for the cold northern months.
Flannel is nice and works well also, but there is something about a cuddly
plush throw on a cold winter night. The throw is 50 by 60 inches.
Warranty
Five year limited warranty is included. As always, carefully read the
directions when using an electric heated throw/blanket for the safety
directions.
Reviews
This electric throw/blanket has over 10,000 positive reviews!

In searching for practical, affordable, and creative gifts, I recently decided upon two items I know will be enjoyed: a glow-in-the-dark blanket and a Galaxy Star projector.
Why Choose a Glow in the Dark Blanket
Most likely, the recipient doesn't have one
It's not too expensive
It's a warm and cozy way to add ambiance to a room
It's easy to order online and have it shipped directly to the recipient
It's something that can be used any time of the year
It makes an excellent accessory for any room in the home
It's a great way to add subtle nighttime light
Various designs and styles; some have stars, words, and characters. This particular blanket offers a combination of words and stars; it's very nice, comes in multiple designs, and is available in pink and grey.
Gifting blankets is one of my favorite things; however, it becomes challenging when I've given too many to come up with something different. This year is the first year I have selected a glow-in-the-dark blanket.
What is a Galaxy Star Projector?
There are two of these in our home at the present time. My son uses his nightly, providing his room a lovely, other-worldly feel.
Although a Star Projector is relatively inexpensive (at least not the one my son has), it provides a gorgeous ambient lit-up ceiling filled with stars.
You'll notice there are many to choose from, and they come in various price ranges.
I recently selected this Galaxy Star Projector as a gift. The star projector my son has is very similar to this particular model.
Make this a Dual Gift for Someone Who Loves Ambient Light and a Room with a Magical Touch
These two items, in combination, make a lovely, thoughtful gift. With the blanket, you'll be gifting warmth and light; with the projector, you'll be giving the magic of the universe in the bedroom.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

If you are a comic book fan or enjoy Marvel comic books or Marvel's Deadpool, then you probably already know Fabian Nicieza, the Argentine-born comic book writer and editor. He's known for creating such characters as Deadpool, Domino, Shatterstar, and Silhouette. He's also well known for his work on X-Files, X-Force, and other Marvel Titles.
What you may not have known is that he is now also a novel writer. This is a review of Fabian and his first two novels.
Fabian Nicieza has written two mystery novels to date, published in 2021 and 2022. The novels have continuing characters, who are very interesting. The locale for these stories is New Jersey. As Nicieza states in his Author's Note in Book 1:
“West Windsor and Plainsboro are real towns in New Jersey. Unlike the snarky description in the book, it's a pretty good area to live in... I mean, as far as New Jersey goes....”
But, he states, all the characters are pure fiction. Fiction means it is not real!
Nichieza's descriptions of places and people are often 'tongue-in-cheek' or, as he says, “snarky”. This makes for a very enjoyable read. The books are Suburban Dicks and The Self-Made Widow.
The Two Main Characters
Andrea Stern: She solved a missing person murder in high school and helped catch a serial killer while in college. She planned to become an FBI profiler, but an unexpected pregnancy changed her plans. She has always wanted to answer her calling: finding redemption for the dead and justice for the living.
Journalist Kenny Lee, Andrea's childhood friend, broke a story for his college paper that brought down the crooked governor of New Jersey. The story earned him a Pulitzer Prize at the young age of 22. But his journalism career has since stalled and, 10 years down the road, he is now relegated to working for a weekly local paper. Kenny's calling: to become rich and famous!
When the series begins, Andrea has four children under 10 and a fifth one due soon. When she accidentally stumbles upon a murder scene, Andrea becomes obsessed with the case. She's back on the trail of a killer, this time with kids in tow. Needing help, Andrea enlists the aid of her friend, Kenny Lee, who naturally is interested in writing another award-winning story to redeem himself and his career.
Unusual occurrences – and body parts in for form of old bones – surface around this affluent suburb. As Andrea and Kenny continue investigating, they uncover simmering racial tensions and a decades-old conspiracy. But, as we find out, the crimes of the past are only the beginning.
After solving a murder in Suburban Dicks (Dicks, as in private investigators – LOL), both the police and Andrea's husband hoped she would set aside her 'crime fighter' tendencies and go back to changing diapers, carpools, and lunches with her 'mom' friends. But when the husband of one of her friends, the 'Queen Bee' of the group, dies, supposedly of natural causes, Andrea suspects that there is more. She digs into the case and risks more than she bargained for.
Meanwhile, Kenny Lee, who is enjoying a new surge of popularity with his coverage of the story of the murder and conspiracy in Book 1, is busy with a Netflix series based on that story. Then he receives an anonymous phone call tipping him off that Molly Goode killed her husband.
Once again, Andrea and Kenny team up to solve another 'suburban scandal'.
Summary
Having now read both Suburban Dicks and The Self-Made Widow, I am a big fan of Fabian Nicieza and his outstanding and humorous writing. Two mysteries, two murders, two fantastically interesting main characters make for a very enjoyable new series by a comic book writer turned novelist! I highly recommend these books.
*A new mystery series of novels by Fabian Nicieza. Review written by Wednesday Elf.

A wall-mounted wine rack is a nice addition to any kitchen or dining area. They are easy to hang and will display your favorite wines and wine glasses all within reach.
We always have a couple bottles of wine on hand for special occasions and when friends drop by. Our problem was always that we didn't have the cabinet space to store the wine bottles.
It's always a good idea to have a couple of different wines on hand. Fran and my daughter enjoy dry wines, as for me I like a wine that is more on the sweet side. So, this handy wall-mounted wine rack can hold a variety of wines along with your wine glasses.
The wine rack in the photo above was a gift from our son and daughter-in-law. It is handmade from recycled pallet wood. They both had a hand in making this wine rack, my son cut and assembled it, while my daughter-in-law added the inscription, "May Your Glass Always Be Half Full".
Our wine rack measures 18 inches across x 14 inches high x 5 inches deep, and easily accommodates four bottles of wine and four wine glasses hanging underneath. As you can see it's also perfect for our Christmas Snowman.
Although it took me a year to hang it on the wall, the installation was quick and easy. It attaches to the wall with two wall anchors and a couple of 2-inch screws. It is a perfect addition to our kitchen and hangs on a side wall above our sink.
These wine racks are sure to be a perfect gift for wine lovers and can be found on Amazon in a variety of styles.

Santa, I've been good, honestly and all I want for Christmas is a little
help for my coffee!
Anyone who knows me will agree that they most often will see me with a cup of
coffee in my hand! It doesn't matter what time of day or night, that
coffee mug is in my hand! If I'm smiling then you know the cup is full,
if not, then you better: 1) Put a pot of coffee on or 2) Refill
my empty one!
It's just lately that I stop drinking coffee after 8 in the
evening. But until that time, I'm a coffee-holic! And I'm not ashamed to
admit it!
I have not yet met a cup of coffee that I didn't like! Even a bad cup of
coffee is better than none at all.
On the weekend though, my coffee experience just lifted up a notch or
two. We were at my son's home for a lovely dinner (Thank You, Jon &
Amy), After dinner my lovely daughter in law offered coffee to finish
off the meal! (She knows me too well.)
What she didn't tell me is that she was making a special coffee that she was
sure I would enjoy! I sat back and just told her to bring it on!
Well let's just say that I was treated to a lovely cappuccino coffee made with
a beautifully frothed bed of egg nog on top! The foam was firm and so
pretty and tasty too!
We save our cappuccinos for Sunday afternoons as a treat, so this was indeed a
nice treat! What I didn't realize is that it was egg nog that was
frothed on top until my little taste buds got involved
" Oh my this is so good" I exclaimed and my daughter in law was just
beaming!
Needless to say, I needed to know how she got that beautiful froth on
top! It looked like a cappuccino that comes from some little Italian
Cafe! My froths are never so perfect!
Into the kitchen I go, to find out the secret! And there on the counter
was this neat little jug filled with frothy and sweet perfectly frothed egg
nog, just waiting to be refilled in my cup!
Santa, I need one of those frothers! I've been a good girl and this
would just make my coffee Sundays so much better than they are now!
Please, please, please!
This is the one I want! Made by the same people that bring you the Instant Pot,
this little milk frother/steamer makes enough foam for several cups of coffee
and it's ready in minutes! That's not all this little kitchen helper does
either! If you are not a coffee lover like I am, you can also make hot
chocolate, cold frothed milk and just warm milk if that's something you like.
You don't even need to use milk if you are lactose intolerant, you can use soy
milks, oat milk and more.
If you are a coffee lover like me, then one of these neat little Instant
Frother/Steamers would be perfect for you too! We will be one of the
best Barrista's going!
Now I have to wait patiently and see if I did indeed make it to Sants's "nice"
list or not! I hope his list is not this one!

How is your Christmas gift wrapping going? Do you find it a chore that has to be done or a happy festive part of the fun? We have just started to wrap all our gifts and these days it is an easy joyful process. A few years ago we bought one pack of reusable Christmas gift bags and now, for many reasons, we love them! Since then we have bought a pack each year and now have plenty to meet all our Christmas wrapping needs for years to come!
Prior to purchasing the Christmas gift bags we had always bought rolls of wrapping paper, tape and needed scissors to hand and a lot of space.I was always Ok at gift wrapping presents so they looked pretty but my husband does not like doing it. My dad had a go but usually needed damage control after he had finished and my Mum struggled the last few years of her life with wrapping presents as she had bad arthritis in her hands. We all got a bit frustrated with all the sticky tape and scissors and endless rolls of paper all around.
We are also concerned about waste and the environment and although we have always tried to save wrapping paper to reuse where possible that was often difficult because it had been ripped or torn during gift opening time! So still a lot of it went into the bin. Although some could be recycled, a lot could not.
So when we saw these types of reusable gift bags we thought they would solve several problems.
1. Despite the initial issues of production of wrapping bags and materials, because they can be reused many times they are more environmentally friendly than buying paper and throwing it away after just one use. If we are going to use wrapping for our gifts make and buy it once, using it many times is better for the environment.
2. These gift bags make wrapping gifts so much easier and quicker! Even awkward-shaped gifts are so easy to wrap using these bags. I find them very time-saving. It takes me significantly less time now to wrap presents with these bags than it used to with wrapping paper. It is simply a case of opening the bag putting the gift inside and tieing up the top with the drawstring or a ribbon, add a tag and you are done!
3. If you have any issues with your hands such as arthritis or you just find trying to wrap gifts difficult these wrapping bags, especially those with drawstrings, are wonderful and relieve a lot of pressure and stress.
4. Christmas gift bags look beautiful and can be made up with ties, ribbons and bows to look gorgeous and very well presented even if you are not good at wrapping procedures. Some sets have integrated drawstrings which can be very useful or if not you can easily tie them up with a beautiful ribbon. They look wonderful and festive under the tree. The big ones look impressive sat under the Christmas tree. Small or light presents could even be hung on the tree or placed in a Christmas stocking.
5. They come in a wide variety of colours, pretty, festive and fun designs to suit every member of your family and friends. Some even come with tags and ribbons included.
6.The Christmas gift bags come in different sizes to meet your needs. You can get them for really large gifts in jumbo sizes or small and precious gifts and everything in between.
You can either put the gift straight into the bag or if you want to disguise it more put it inside a box or other container first.
7. Once you buy the gift bags you can use them again and again. The initial outlay may be a little more but it means that you do not have to keep remembering to buy more wrapping paper every year and if you are careful to gather them up within your family you can reuse them every year thus saving time and money.
There is such a huge variety of Christmas gift bagsyou can choose which sets suit your needs.
We have now had our original set for 4 years and it is as good as the first year.
It is important after opening the present to carefully gather up and fold the bags and then put them away safely but it is a small task. The gift bags are very easy to store. They generally lie flat and we store them along with the other Christmas decorations.
They are more environmentally friendly as long as you do reuse them. When you are giving gifts within your family or household it is easy to gather them up to use again.
If giving gifts outside your household you can mention that the bag is reusable and hopefully they will save it and use it again.
Gifts are very easy to wrap using Christmas Gift bags. It makes Christmas gift-wrapping time much easier and quicker. Although I do enjoy the process of wrapping gifts as it is more fun and less work this way, I will not go back to using rolls of wrapping paper again and will simply use our reusable Christmas gift bags.
Wishing everyone who celebrates, a Very Happy and Peaceful Christmas!

It's end of the year gadget review time! Yes the end of the year is always a great time for the gadget fans to review the great finds of the year and also a great time to perhaps give a few of those gadget winners as Christmas gifts. I love a good gadget, but I love even more a gadget which has been tested and has made it into the winner category.
Another perfectly sized gadget which is just my size! Actually I am not a fan of coffee, but cannot exclude the coffee drinkers in a home. This mini brew is not only mini sized per cup I love it requires a small footprint for the counter top.
As gadgets go this may be one of the most flexible and valuable! If you live in an area where the power grid can be sketchy, this is an item of interest. A mini oven whose first intent was a portable oven for camping by as the reviewer discovered became invaluable at home during a power outage. What a fabulous gift for a camping friend!
Yes! What a great idea and stocking stuffer for those with DVD's- yes, raise your hand if your house still owns DVD's but no longer has a DVD player! This portable gadget is great for travel and an easy and convenient way to watch your favorite DVD's.
Liquid rubber in a can with so many darn uses! Who knew. I used this to repair a pesky little hole in a gutter that was being a problem child. I used the spray version of the flex seal to spray the area I knew the hole existed. Voila! Problem solved.
Whoa! The fun fun memories reading this review brought back of badminton in the yard. The sets have come along way and now portable badminton sets are available. What a great holiday gift this would be (hint hint!)
Silcone Mini Molds by the Savvy Age
Definitely a winner for in the baking category! A very good price point for a large set of molds perfect to make mini desserts, mini appetizers and even mini meatloafs.
