There's no better time to say "Thank you" for your patronage! Michaels of Raeford MAIN ST. A Chrittmuutlme greeting to mil om r good friends! Raeford Plumbing & Heating * Q&Ou?(m(Xjb MHMgP, V;: v,. .. Friendly Holiday Greetings ! May this Christmas gladden the hearts of all with the true meaning of the season. Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad Serving Raeford and Hoke County Since 1897 Making A "Cookie House" Can Be Fun for Family Christmas is the ideal lime for family projects like baking a cookie house but if you don't have either the time or inclina tion to bake, you can still make a charming cookie house by simply using gra ham crackers and cake de corations. To make this cookie house, you'll need around 17 graham cracker units (each made up of 2 squares) a small tube of decorating gel, a small bottle of cinnamon hots, about Zi box of powdered sugar, a can of coconut flakes and a small box of caramel popcorn. Have the youngsters decorate the crackers to be used for the sides and front and back of the house with doors and win dows, using the gel and cinnamon hots. (You'll need two units for the front and back, three for the sides.) Make a paste of the powdered sugar by adding water and then carefully join the squares together to create a standing struc ture of front, back, and sides. Join three under rated units together to form each side of what will eventually be the roof. Next, join the the two roofing sides together at right angles before setting them on top of the stand ing structure. Make sure "roofing" is secure before setting it in place. To fill the space left between the roof and front of the house, cut a small rectangular piece of crac ker and join it to the roof and front with your paste, fill in the rest of the space with caramel popcorn, again using the paste as a mortar. Repeat procedure for back of the house. Dribble paste generous ly over the roof, then sprinkle coconut flakes for a snow-topped effect. The youngsters will enjoy having this "in stant" cookie house to ad mire,? especially if they've helped to make it ? and they'll enjoy eating it later on! The Star of Bethlehem In some countries, at one time, Christmas Eve celebrations did not begin until the first star had appeared in the heavens, in memory of the Star of Bethlehem. There are many customs | associated with the star: Tyrolean "star-singers" follow a star-shaped lan tern as they go about car oling, and Swedish boys and girls follow a child carrying a large star.
