Good morning!
 

Merry Christmas to all of you!  Since Christmas is a week from today, many of you won't be reading this until after the 25th.   Whether you celebrate the birth of Christ or not,  I still wish you a Merry Christmas and pray that you will find joy and peace in this holiday season. 

 

This issue is a bit different than most.   I've gotten some good ideas this week and decided to use the newsletter to pass them along to you.  Maybe you'll appreciate taking a "break" from reading a full issue! 

 

As much as I love not having to deal with snow here in Houston, sometimes it's hard to get into the Christmas mood without it.  I hope whatever your weather is, you're spending time with the ones you love.  Sometimes we can get so busy with the shopping that we neglect the very ones we're shopping for.  Be careful not to do that. 

 

Please visit our sponsor, Zodiac Publishing.  Books are always a great gift for children.  Toys seem to have a limited lifetime, but books take on a life of their own. So...read about Betty the Fairy and see how she saves Christmas! 

 

Please forward this issue to someone who may benefit from it!

 

Merry Christmas! 


Joyce Pierce

Use Your Change to Buy Gift Cards

I got this tip from my friend, Leo Quinn.  He publishes a great newsletter, so if you're interested in learning more about getting out of debt, he's the guy to talk to.    www.leoquinn.com

Do you have Coinstar machines at your local grocery store?  They are those big green machines you dump your change into and they
spit out a receipt.   You can claim the money minus a 7.5% fee.

Now you can get paid in gift cards from many merchants, including Amazon.com, I-Tunes and Barnes & Noble.  The nice thing is they don't charge you the normal fee for counting your coins when you get paid in gift cards.

If you're short a few Christmas gifts or money is tight,  consider dumping your large jug of  coins in the machine at your local store if you have one.  You can get locations of the machines at the www.coinstar.com  web site.  Here is more information on the merchants who are involved in this special program:

Let's Say  Thanks to our Soldiers

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com  you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print and send it to a soldier who is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!

This is a great site.

Please take a moment to send a card and then pass this on to everyone you know. 
www.LetsSayThanks.com

It is F.R.E.E. and it only takes a second.   Pass it on!

The Bird Flu

Lately there has been a lot of talk about the bird flu.  Rather than try to explain it here, I'm providing a link to the Oprah website.  She recently had Dr. Michael Osterholm on her show and he says that it's not a matter of whether or not we WILL  have an epidemic, but WHEN it will hit. 

Please take some time to go to this site and learn what you need to know about the bird flu and what precautions you can take to prepare for it.

Sour Cream Potatoes

I can't say that this is a "heart healthy" recipe, but if you're cooking for a large crowd, this is definitely a winner!

 

24 oz. frozen hash browns

2 cans cream of chicken soup

2 cups sour cream

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup onions, chopped

2 cups cornflakes, crushed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Put hash browns into casserole dish.  Combine soup concentrate, sour cream, cheese, 1/2 cup butter, and onions.  Gently blend into potatoes.  Combine cornflakes and 2 tablespoons butter.  Sprinkle on top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Yields 16 servings.
