Click HERE for a printable version of the Cheerios Party Snack.
Many years ago, my mother clipped this recipe off a Cheerios box. I have never seen it on a box since, but it has been passed down and continues to be a favorite of ours. Try this simple Party Mix recipe and see for your self if it is not a winner. Chex cereal can be substituted if you increase the butter and spices as the Chex tends to absorb a lot of it.
We make a ton of this every year. I quadruple the recipe, then make three batches of the quadrupled batch. By the time Christmas is past, we are ready to give it up until the next year.

Click the picture to see the Clancy School Christmas Program and our other Christmas Photos.
Last night we went to Clancy School to watch the school’s Christmas program. All of the classes did a great job. Desire’ was in a “Young Women’s Choir”, Ana sang with her class and also played the clarinet in the band. Alia also sang with her class. Carol helped the kindergarten class sing their songs. They were so cute.
The program ended with a couple of “All School” songs commemorating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a GRAND finale!
After the program, the children were met with a larger than life Father Christmas. Wow! Be sure to see the photo of him!
See some somewhat fuzzy pictures, along with the rest of our 2008 Christmas photos HERE.

Do you want a great new Christmas song? Listen to Francesca Battistelli’s “You’re Here”. What a great song, sung in Mary’s perspective. God did not leave us alone, “You’re Here”.
“You’re Here” is too new to be on an album but can be downloaded from your favorite on-line music store.
This is from news on her web site:
CHRISTMAS TIME
Garnering even more radio airplay, Battistelli’s two newly recorded Christmas songs – “You’re Here” (written by Battistelli) and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” – are currently being played on stations nationwide. In fact, both songs are so popular that “You’re Here” was the most added Christmas single for the first week of December, while “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” was the 4th highest add, according to Radio & Records (chart below). Not shy to radio charts, Battistelli’s “You’re Here” also debuted at #25 on AC Monitored and #27 at AC Indicator this week. Both Christmas singles are available exclusively on iTunes.
It is not, however, exclusively available from iTunes, as I do not buy from I tunes; and I purchased it DRM Free (No Rediculous Copy Protection) from Amazon.com for ninety-nine cents.
Give “You’re Here” a listen, and realize that as Jesus came as a baby boy, then died for us, He sent His Spirit, and we can still say, “You did not leave us alone. You’re here!.”

I don’t know how I missed this group for so long. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They play a very powerful and almost emotional mixture of classical, hard rock, soft rock, easy listening, and what ever else you would think that wouldn’t go together. One song in particular, that must be played loudly, is “Christmas Canon Rock” from “The Lost Christmas Eve” album. Or, Rock Opera as it may be referred to. Have you ever felt emotion over the music of a song? I am not talking about the lyrics, but the music. Feel this song while it is played and see if you don’t agree.
