Add a little holiday cheer to your day with the 25 Days of Christmas. Each day in the Countdown to Christmas will feature a Bible verse, a Christmas Carol of the Day, the Christmas TV schedule for the day, a musical gift idea, a movie of the day, a recipe to try, and something fun/helpful/useful from some of the amazing Guides here at About.
On the 18th day of Christmas, we're staying in and enjoying good food and music by Sara Groves and Matt Maher.
Merry Christmas!
Bible Verse of the Day
- Psalm 119:9-11 (English Standard Version)
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Following God may not be easy, but it is always worth it!

Vintage Gift Ideas
- My mom frequently says that had she never cleaned out her closets, she could have been in style several times over without ever having to shop for new stuff! She's right and as I see trends that were popular in my "day" making return appearances on my teen, I wish that I hadn't let so much of my old wardrobe go packing. If you have someone in your life that loves vintage pieces and you old, yet fabulous pieces that they've been drooling over for years, our Guide to Vintage, Ashley Kane, can hook you up with some great Vintage Gift Ideas.
Recipe of the Day
- We're actually staying home tonight and resting. Resting, in my world, means not eating heavy or spending a ton of time in the kitchen. To that end, we're going to have Garlic Baked Sea Bass, using a recipe that takes all of about 5 whole minutes to prep and gives you a dish that tastes like Heaven.
Saying Merry Christmas ...
