Whether online or in the store, they suddenly find a hundred things they want to buy, and they want it now. Over and over I say to them, "Christmas is coming." Somewhat dejectedly they understand, and another item gets added to the Christmas wish list. Well, believe it or not, Christmas is coming. The happy day is only 55 days away, and if you haven't already started to at least think about the season, it may be time to do so. Here are two books suggestions that might get you either into the holiday mode, or at least thinking about ways you can be closer to your family in the upcoming seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright (Shadow Mountain, 2007) Jack and Laurel Cooper, owners of a popular Virginia bed and breakfast, die in each others' arms one night, and the legacy they have left might have passed unknown if their children hadn't discovered the boxes rilled with letters that Jack had written to his wife every Wednesday since the day they were married. The letters tell of good times and bad, joy and heartache as Matthew, Samantha and Malcolm discover more about their parents than they ever thought possible, and each of them learns something about themselves as well. If this novel does nothing more than encourage readers to share more openly with their families, then it will have accomplished a fine goal. Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright (Deseret Book, 2005) How many of you already have a Christmas jar, filled with loose change and ready to give to someone who needs either money or to know someone — even someone anonymous — is thinking of them during the upcoming season? On Christmas Eve, journalist Hope Jensen grieve? the loss of her adoptive mother when her apartment is robbed. But she finds a small jar full of money someone has anonymously left on her doorstep. Hope uses her newswoman skills to find where the tradition began, and she discovers a new family of her own along the way. Bake great with pumpkin There and Back Again Shirlene R. Ottesen Sincerely, Lana Hiskey, Covered Bridge * The Utah Valley Children's Choir will present their annual Thanksgiving Celebration concert on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. in the Provo Tabernacle. Admission is free of charge. So, you've been invited out for Thanksgiving dinner and the hostess has asked you to furnish enough pumpkin pie for 30 people! Wow! That's great! They do all the turkey, dressing, potatoes, veggies, salads and all you have to do is make the pie, or in this case, pies. Since you normally cut a pie in about six pieces, you'll need to make a lot of pies. You might try this recipe. We made some just a couple of weeks ago for a family gathering and everyone seems to like it. It doesn't look like pumpkin pie, but it tastes like it and you'll only have to double it.
