Thanksgiving holidays has passed, though a thankful heart continues throughout the year. Now comes the Christmas Rush…. Do yourself a favor and slow down a little and take some time to enjoy the season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.<\/p>\n

By now, many of you are starting to plan your Christmas activities. I know because there has already been a surge in purchases of my Christmas Collection ebook.<\/p>\n

You can still find a stocking full of Christmas Ideas on the website. Just search for “Christmas” in the search box.<\/p>\n

But I’ll also let you in on a little secret….<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have almost finished with the 2007 edition of the Christmas Collection. I have added a ton of new ideas. And to be honest, the last edition, upon review was a little dated. It was my first attempt at an ebook. The ideas are still fantastic, but the format has a lot to be desired….<\/p>\n

In the new book I have not only added a lot of new ideas…. but I have also added an easy index, more detailed and easier to understand descriptions for many of the games, and even some work sheets that you can print straight from the ebook. And now it looks much more professional.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the 2nd Edition<\/strong>
\nClick here to find out how you can immediately download more than 200 of my best Christmas games, Christmas illustrations, Christmas activity ideas AND MUCH MORE in a useful ebook for only $24.97<\/a><\/p>\n

Have a Blessed Christmas!
