Add a little holiday cheer to your day with the 25 Days of Christmas. Each day will feature a Bible verse, a special holiday Carol, the holiday TV schedule for the day, a musical gift idea, a movie of the day, a recipe to try, and something extra as well.

Day 5 in the 25 Days of Christmas starts off with John 14:12-14, shares almost five hours of movie laughs and gives some great gift ideas for college kids.

Merry Christmas!

Bible Verse of the Day

    John 14:12-14 (Darby Translation)

    Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.
    And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
    If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Isn't it comforting to know that Jesus still works through us, his disciples?

Did You Know ...

... That Matt McFadden, bass player for After Edmund, lists "Carol of the Bells" as his favorite Christmas carol? He names Jars of Clay’s Little Drummer Boy as his favorite Christmas album and A Charlie Brown Christmas as his favorite Christmas movie.

Even though Matt plays bass now, he says that the favorite Christmas gift he ever received was a kid's drum set (when he was a kid of course). He liked it so much that this year, he's planning on giving his own son a kids's drum set of his very own!

Matt's favorite Christmas tradition is their annual family Christmas lunch and his favorite Christmas memory is Christmas in a log cabin ... just him and his wife.

Christian Musical Gift Idea of the Day

    For the Love of the Game - Pillar
    The band's fifth album sounds different than the first four, but then Pillar does love to shift things around a bit to keep their sound fresh. Don't worry though, For the Love of the Game still rocks and it would make a great Christmas gift for any rocker in your life. (Compare Prices)

Family Movie of the Day

    Christmas Comedy Collection (Compare Prices)
    The three movies featured on this DVD release are a laugh a minute and with a 290 run time, you'll be chuckling for almost five solid hours. (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf)

Christmas Gift Ideas for College Kids

Recipe of the Day

    I'll admit it ... I'm a big fan of coffee. For me, it's not just a morning drink; I sip on my cup pretty much all day long. Hot coffee, iced coffee, specialty coffee, I like it all. One of my favorites is Turkish Coffee and our Guide to Middle Eastern Food, Saad Fayed, has a wonderful recipe.
    Get the recipe.
