NEW BEADS with Karma's Christmas Memory

COME CHECK OUT OUR NEW SELECTION OF BEADS.

When i was young, we lived away from my mothers parents and they would arrive every Christmas Morning. We would stay in bed until they get there (always really early)but we were always excited to hear Grandpa's booming voice, almost better than hearing Santa. As we got older we would all help with breakfast. Still a memorable event with French toast and Potatoes. Then we all have the feast and head for our own homes. Grandma and Grandpa are gone now but always remebered as a part of our celebrations.

Rub ons with Beth's Christmas Memory.

One year where I worked we chose a needy family and everyone brought lots of things in. We wrapped everything up & labeled them. We even had gifts for the parents. Some people brought food & the company furnished turkeys and frozen french fries. The police department brought some bikes over to be delivered also. It was AWESOME.

-Beth

Cluster Candy Recipe with Kim's Memory

All through my childhood years at Christmas, my mother made homemade chocolates. I would watch and help her as much as she would let me. This meant that I got to stay up late with her as she spent many nights making fondant and covering them in chocolate.
This year I finally got enough courage to attempt making moms homemade chocolates (with my moms help!!). They tasted wonderful and brought back warm sweet memories of my mother.

Martha's Christmas Memories

Memories of going to Targhee or Jackson Hole with a car load (with no seats left)of Kids (age 3 to 12), Mike's skis were about 3 feet long.

At Jackson hole we always stayed at a place that looked like a Swiss Chalet to us and we even had a St. Bernard.
Once coming home from Targhee in a snow storm, my husband had to drive with his head out of the window to see. The kids had such a great time. Now they would have had to miss school because I would have made us wait till spring to come home.

Emma's Memory

Our Christmas tradition, since my sister and I were small, was to help our Mother and Grandmother with Christmas baking. I have continued that same tradition with my children, and am now continuing it with my grandchildren. My son and daughters are also doing it their children. ( my grandchildren). I have attached the recipe at the bottom for you to enjoy with your family this holiday season.



This is a picture of 4 of my grandchildren helping to make raised doughnuts using our traditional finnish biscuit (cinnamon roll) recipe.



Here is Morgan frying the doughnuts


Finn Bread Vera Joki’s recipe

2 pkgs dry yeast 1 quart milk, scalded
½ cup warm water with 1 tsp sugar 2 cups wheat or bran flakes
½ cup brown sugar 5 ½ cups white flour
4 tsp salt ½ cup bulgar (in 1 c. hot water)
2 cups whole wheat flour 3 tbsp. butter

As you begin your preparations, put the ½ cup bulgar in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let this stand for 30 – 45 minutes. Scald the milk, then add the wheat flakes, brown sugar, and salt to the hot milk and allow it to cool to lukewarm. Dissolve the yeast in water with white sugar (this will double in size as it “works”.) When the milk mixture is lukewarm add the yeast mixture and mix. Add the whole wheat flour and mix thoroughly. Blend in the white flour a cup at a time, mixing thoroughly. Knead the dough until it is very smooth, kneading in the butter. Butter the dough and the bowl, cover, and let rise until double in size (about 45 minutes to 1 hour). Punch down, and let rise again until doubled – another 40 minutes to an hour. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, and form into 8 or 9” flat round loaves. Let rise on a towel that has been sprinkled with whole wheat flour or corn meal, about 45 minutes – 1 hour. Carefully flip onto cookie sheets, punch holes in the top with a meat fork, and bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. You may wish to transfer the loaves directly to the oven racks after their first 20-30 minutes of baking to improve the browning. The bread will be done when it makes a hollow sound when tapped in the center. Cool and enjoy with butter!

Janets Chirstmas Tradtions

My most favorite Christmas mermoies are the school programs. We always got new shoes and a new dress to wear. We also LOVED Santa coming into the gym to give everyone a bag of fruit candy.

My christmas tradition was making gradma's carmel popcorn. It was a day full of activity and anticipation as we waited for the LARGE pan of carmel to cool.
