The Ultimate Gift [2007] Duration 1:57:10

Jason thought his inheritance was going to be the gift of money and lots of it. Was he ever in for a big surprise. Based on the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?" Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his Grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulation of which would change him forever.

**Note: The twelve simple tasks "gifts" are of work, money, friends, learning, problems, family, laughter, dreams, giving, gratitude, a day and love **

In honor of the 2020 CHRISTMAS STAR. Monday night is ‘The Great Conjunction’ of Jupiter and Saturn, something that hasn’t happened in nearly 400 years.

On the night of December 21, The two largest planets in our solar system are coming closer together than they have been since the Middle Ages, and it's happening just in time for Christmas -- This once in a lifetime event has become popularly known as the ‘Christmas Star’ because it is happening during the holiday season... hence the nickname of "The Christmas Star."

"The fact that this event is happening during the winter solstice is pure coincidence" according to NASA.

Game: White Elephant Gift Exchange

12/20/2020 08:51:00 PM

If you’re going to a white elephant gift exchange, the goal is to bring something that will make people laugh. I know some people tend to go on the more offensive route, but that’s not my thing so these gifts are funny without being offensive such as the one listed below. I also try to bring things that are funny but not something that will go in the trash as soon as everyone leaves. So no empty paper towel rolls or broken picture frames.

"A white elephant gift is a gag gig, something that’s designed to be funny and not taken seriously."

WHITE ELEPHANT RULES

Each white elephant is run differently, but typically it follows these general rules of thumb:

Each participant brings a wrapped gift to add to the pool.
Players draw numbers to know which order they will choose their gift.
Everyone sits in a circle so they can see all the gifts in the center.
The person who drew #1 goes first by picking a gift from the center and unwrapping it.
The following players can choose to either steal a previous player’s gift or an unwrapped gift from the pool. If someone gets their gift stolen, they can do the same thing – pick a new gift or steal from someone else. Things to keep in mind:
1. A gift can only be stolen once per round.
2. A gift can only be stolen THREE times total (or things will drag on – trust me!)
The game ends with #1 going again and swapping his/her gift with someone else’s.

There are different variations of the game you can play, but these are the standard rules everyone goes by.

Christmas Gag Gifts - Just For The Girls

Writing in The Snow

Find a nice spray bottle, fill it with colored water
and attach a tag with the following:

Poem Tag

When God created the little boy
He gave them each a little toy
A tiny thing from which to pee
And write their name in snow, you see
Well now I think it's only fair
That little girls should have their share

Of writing in the snow like them
But still be a lady in front of men
So here's a toy for you to have fun with
A small and handy wee wee gift
Just aim it straight and aim it true
And write your name like the boys do

ORiental Trading sells this ornament and verse on a card for

Verse on card:

God used a little donkey to carry Mary to Bethlehem, where Jesus would be born. Many years later a donkey would carry Jesus to Jerusalem, where he would die upon a cross.

God marked the donky's back with a cross. It is a reminder of God's Son Jesus, who was born and died for all.

Used as a small gift to ladies in a Bible study that has presented himself for Christmas but also will transport our study about his role in transporting Jesus in us last days (Palm Sunday).

Verse on Card Reads As:

Just a little donkey,
but on my back I bore
The one and only Savior
the world was waiting for.

Just a little donkey,
but I was strong and proud-
I gladly carried Mary
through the chaos of the crowd.

I brought her to a stable
where she made a tiny bed...
A place for Baby Jesus
to lay His little head.

I pray the world remembers
that special Christmas night
when just a little donkey
carried Heaven's Precious Light.

-Rita S. Beer

The Legend of the Donkey 2 [for Easter]

All purebred donkeys are born with a cross on their back. A legend says it is the gift our Lord gave to the humble donkey that IMG_0136carried Him into Jerusalem. According to the legend, the little donkey so loved his Master that he followed Him to Calvary. Grief-striken at the sight, he turned away but remained at his station at the foot of the cross. The shadow of the Cross fell upon him and from that day all purebred donkeys wear the Master’s Cross on their back.
