Advent Baking and St. Nicholas

I have discovered Christmas Crack. Make some soon!
 Christmas Crack

Line a jelly roll pan with tin foil. Lay graham crackers or saltines (salt side down) on the foil. Boil one cup of butter and one cup of brown sugar for about 3 minutes. Pour over the crackers. Immediately place in a preheated 425*F oven. Bake 5 minutes. Take out of oven and sprinkle one cup of chocolate chips over the mixture and one cup of chopped pecans or almonds. Let cool. Break into pieces and serve. Eat!

Did you know today is St. Nicholas Day? Learn more here.  The kids and I spent our devotional time this morning talking about Santa vs. St. Nicholas and how western culture has changed St. Nicholas from a focus of giving (because Christ gives to us) to Santa and a focus of getting. Interesting dialogue!
