The Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the world
A message was preached, a challenge was hurled:
Believe on the Son and thou shall be saved!
The road to heaven with His blood was paved.
Out of the darkness of sin and despair
God’s salvation—the fairest of fair—
Was born in a manger; no room in the inn.
God in the flesh, He died for our sin.
The angels sang: the shepherds rejoiced,
Messiah has come? The message was voiced
By joyous believers both far and near;
Christmas has come! Immanuel is here!
R.B. Thieme, Jr.
The Christmas Story
Luke 2:1-20
Spinach Dip
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
½ (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (1.8 ounce) package dry vegetable soup (Knorr)
1 (1 pound) loaf round sourdough bread
Directions
Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, spinach, water chestnuts, and dry soup mix together in a medium bowl. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight. Slice off the top of the sourdough round and pull out the soft interior, leaving a sturdy bread bowl. Fill with spinach mixture. Tear removed bread chunks into pieces for dipping.
