My favorite Christmas special

In my family around Christmas, there are lots of Christmas movie quotes going around and I Love it.

One of my favorite christmas movies is The Nightmare Before Christmas

My best friend Ally and I adore this movie

Another one is How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

My whole entire family quote it all the time, out of season at that.

Jim carry is my hero!

I also love the movie Elf, it appeals to the younger audience for one reason and the teenage and adult viewers for another

I'm sure there are more but those are my top three. 

See y'all tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, Jethro

Favorite Christmas/new years eve food

Christmas/new years eve weight sucks right?

But all the tempting chocolate or egg nog is hard to evade. Tonight I'm going to give you a few of my favorite Christmas food.

Every Christmas morning my family sits down after presents and eats some overnight rolls. Carmal covered rolls. So that is one of my favorites.

Iv always loved egg nog shakes from McDonald's.

And since we're not just talking about Christmas food but also new years eve food. 

My family and I have a massive snack supper on new years eve that often includes but not limited to; cheese ball, pizza did, jalapeño poppers, Oreo balls and much more.

That is my favorite holiday foods

Merry chridas and happy new year, Jethro

Favorite Christmas tradition

You are probably noticing a Christmas theme obviously, Christmas has special meaning to my family and I.

Every year we wake up and open our family present, the present that we all share and then we open our secret santa present( everyone a month before pick out a sibling to get a gift for with the money that our parents let us use).

Then we eat our Christmas breakfast of overnight rolls and then pack up and head to our favorite hotel, the Stoney creek inn, and then go out to eat at the lounge( a fancy restaurant.

We stay at the Stoney creek inn for 2 or 3  days and just enjoy each others company. 

That is my favorite christmas tradition

Merry Christmas and happy new year, Jethro

What Christmas means to me

What Christmas means to me

Whoever Christmas comes around again I have an plethora of feelings when it comes.

Some people talk about Santa which of course isn't real (sorry kids), so I choose not to even worry about that. Some people use it as an outlet to get drunk  until the day after new years... I  don't believe that's the reason either. When people talk about gifts that's what Christmas to me but in the different sense of the word. You may not believe in a God or be religious or whatever but this is too important to over look. God sent his son to this world in the form ad a baby by which a virgin gave birth. He dwells among men for 33 years and lived a life without doing anything wrong, he was punished and crucified because of something he didn't do. We are all born with sin in our life and God can't be around sin so when you die, you would have to go to hell forever and it is impossible to live a life without sinning. But instead of use dying for something we can't control, Jesus died in our stead so that we wouldn't have to and rose again so he could enjoy that gift with us, and that gift is eternal life in heaven with him forever. Assurance that we will be in a awesome place when we die is the best gift ever right?, I think so. And the thing about a gift is that its free. You cant earn it, you only have to except the gift like excepting a Christmas gift... Cause that's what it is. All you have to do is repent for all the sins you commited in your life except that you are a sinner and need help. Believe in God and trust your life to him and live for him. This is what Christmas means to me...

Wednesday

So... Sorry I haven't written anything in a while, I've been pretty busy, I'll try my best to stay on top of things now, today's first topic is," what do I really want for christmas?"

Hmm... That's a tough one because there's a few things I'd really like

I'm a knife collector so some machetes or spring assisted pocket knifes might be cool. 

I've also been looking for a vintage military backpack

... So that'd be cool too. I suppose that and some weaponry is what I really want for Christmas.

Come back later today when I'll serve up another semi-entertaining story about my family, my life and my world

Blessings, Jethro

Thousand word Thursday

Today is thousand word Thursday and the topic is... Post a picture of something that makes you laugh.

The gentlemen in the patriotic swim trunks there is my best friend Richard Phillips.

He can't go five minutes without saying something or doing something funny!

Some days it's like he isn't happy unless he's making something come out my nose.

Him and I go to camp together and have some unforgettable times... I love yea man. 

Heres a fine specimen of hilarity, my little brother Daniel... He's single ladies

He is funny even though his sisters get grossed out by him sometime (that's our job though, aint it?).

Come back tomorrow when I'll serve up a semi-entertaining tale about my family, my life and my world.

Blessings, Jethro

Monday

Today is monday and the topic is... 

"What did I wanna be when I grew up?"

Well, I am 15 and though some would think that the age of becoming an adult since I wouldn't say I've fully grown up in some standards (and I mean most!) I can still look forward to it in ways and do it activity.

In earlier blog posts I spoke of my transformation from wanting to be a cook to incorporating my culinary skills with my God-given mission to spread the good news all over the unreached world...

...But I don't have to wait til I'm old to start being spiritually open,"do not look down upon us because we are young!" says the bible. 

Our mission field is right outside our bedroom door.

You don't have to go to different countries were no one speaks you'er language and you get a parasite every time you drink there water (thats for people who are specifically called to do that I hope minus the parasite) It's right across the food court at school or a couple benches up on the bus.

We can't live our Christian life in a pew behind a hymnals then ignore God the rest of the week.

God saved my life from a early and painful earthly death and an eternal and flaming death in Hell away from God, and I am going to give him the glory for all the good and bad points in my life cause it was his to take or leave, and he picked up this pile of rags and made it into a beautifully flawed beacon of his redeeming light for all the world to see

Friends, let your Jesus show! 

Come back tomorrow when I'll serve up another semi-entertaining tale about my family, my life and my world.

Blessings, Jethro
