8 Things I Look Forward to at Christmas
1. Celebrating the birth of my Savior

7. Turkish Delight - and if I get a candy thermometer, I may actually get it to turn out (another continuing story- Catey's battle with the Turkish Delight. It came out once and now it goes runny every time I make it, but I think a candy thermometer may cure that... maybe)
8. Gingerbread
8 Things I Pray for at Christmas
1. Salvation of friends and family
2. My Awana kids - they really weigh on my heart during this season
3. Renewed focus - that Christ would keep my eyes trained on him.
4. Snow - or lack thereof, depending on how many people are coming over to my house (or if I'm going over to someone's )
5. Specific people who are hurting in my community
6. People who are hurting outside of my community and around the world
7. God's glory
8. That others understand the real gift of the season

Hey! Turkish Delight! I read about that in Narnia. Anyways, thanks for tagging me. Great post.
I did my answers. I actually have two posts up 4 today because I posted, then checked your blog, and realized I was tagged.
Anyways, i updated with a poem the first time. The second is my anwers to your cyber-tag.
How has your week been?
Anyway, sorry to cut this comment a little short, but I really should be gettng back to writing on my Nano novel.
I'm at 34, 464 right now.
:D
Oh, i forgot to ask if you had a recipe for turkish delight?
Hhhh, it's the continuous battle. I've tried a bunch - but my favorite one was in the Chronicles of Narnia cookbook (which is oft available at libraries and is probably around on Amazon and stuff)
My week has been...long. I enjoyed Thanksgiving a lot. How about you?
How many words in the Nanonovel now?

You were doing NaNoWriMo - I can hardly blame you!
Have fun with the tag.
-Catey
Ahhh.... I've been tagged! OK, I guess I'll have to do this one~ it looks like a lot of fun!
I've read the Narnia cookbook!!! (How could I have NOT?!) I need to get it again and save the recipe for Turkish Delight... that would be really fun to make, as long as it's not enchanted. I doubt that anything that I make in the kitchen could turn out THAT well, though. :)
