Needed: Suggestions for True Christian Stocking Stuffers

[Johny Joe Hold]

We all know children like the game of Christmas stockings even if their parents have correctly taught then Santa is an atheist trick to get something for nothing. Adults, too, like to give each other gifts in these stockings. My thinking is, let's build in a good Christian message while following the ritual. Many others will have good ideas but here are mine include a Trump bobble head doll. Also nice would be a Make America Great Again Cookie:

Ingredients

• 1lb strong white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 sachets instant yeast
• 2½oz lard
• 10½fl oz water
• 2½oz butter
• 8oz mixed dried fruit including mixed peel
• 1¾oz soft brown sugar
• extra flour for dusting

Method

1. Mix together the flour, salt and yeast in a mixing bowl. Rub in ¾oz of the lard using your fingertips until there are no pieces of lard visible.
2. Add three-quarters of the water and hand-mix the flour into the water to form a dough. Add as much of the remaining water as you need to get a dough that is soft and leaves the sides of the bowl clean.
3. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Place in a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size. This depends on the temperature of the room, but should take 1-2 hours.
4. Tip the dough onto a floured work surface and roll into a rectangle about 8x20in and about ¼in thick.
5. Dot a third of the remaining lard and a third of the butter over the surface of the dough. Scatter over a third of the fruit and a third of the sugar. Fold the top third of the dough down and the bottom third up so that the dough is folded in three and roughly square. Turn the dough a quarter turn. Roll out and repeat the out process twice more, to use up all the lard and fruit.
6. Line a 9x9in square loose bottomed tin with baking parchment. Roll out the dough to fit the tin and place it inside. Cover with clingfilm, or place inside a large plastic bag, and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425F/Gas 7.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden-brown.
8. Leave to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Cut into squares and serve warm or cold, with butter.

Thank you Sister Mitza--I've said it many times, lard and more lard will Make America Great Again.

Apart from the excellent suggestions as shown above, I do think that a copy of this:

Sister, I think it's time we moved on from that old dusty thing exspecially now there's a superior version out now. It's the only one endorsed by our President under paid license from the Trump Organization.

I know that in a Christian home the use of computer "games" needs to be restricted.

Even so, variations exist teaching valuable Bible lessons, such as this one holding up Joshua as an example and including some Bible questions. Apparently these "retro" pastimes are becoming VERY popular and available on thumb drives, perhaps from a computer fair. In that way, family members can have something voguish—something their friends may not even have heard of—to be at the cutting edge of fashion without seeming depraved. Many so-called friends are likely heathens, concealing their true agenda, ready to pounce at any moment.

II Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

But what a wonderful witnessing opportunity! And remind your lucky recipient how dreadful it is to fall into the hands of The Living God, as every heathen will – but deserves it, too. Just as we all had, from birth, but now have been Redeemed. Hallelujah!

II Peter 2:12 [God explains] ..these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption

Any item endorsed by or bearing the image of Donald Trump would be welcome in my stocking.
