Fuller House and Homemade Holiday Presents

Fuller House and Homemade Holiday Presents



On December 9th the second season of Fuller House will start streaming on Netflix.  If you are a fan of the sitcom Full House, you will like this show.  It is a spin off of that show.   In this show DJ Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron-Bure) is a widower who moves back to her family home to raise her 3 sons. Her sister Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) moves back home to help her raise DJ’s children. DJ’s best friend Kimmy  Gibbler (Andrea Barber) and her daughter Romana also moves into the house.



Here is how you can watch season 2 on Netflix.

The whole series of Full House is now out on DVD.

If you would like to catch up on season 1 of Fuller House, you can watch it on DVD.

If you are looking for any holiday presents to give your family and friends either of these, DVDs would be great presents for any of who is a fan of these shows.  If you have someone, who loves movies you can also give them a subscription to Netflix.

Another idea would be a present you make yourself.  If you have anyone, who likes to bake then give them what we call a cookie in a jar.  You fill up a jar with all the dry ingredients for a favorite cookie recipe. Then cover it and put a ribbon.  Don’t forget to also include the recipe.  Tape it to the jar.

You can also give someone all the stuff they need to decorate sugar cookies.  Just get a bag of the sugar cookie mix and the frosting and sprinkles then put them in a basket.  Decorate with a ribbon.  Either of these ideas is easy to put together.

Here is a chocolate chip cookie recipe that you can put in the ingredients in the jar and the best way to put both presents together.  Plus all the products you should need.

Happy Holidays Cookie Exchange!!!


Happy Holidays to everyone who reads this blog. We hope you are having a good holiday season. Last month we  gave you some advice on the holiday dinner. This month we are going to suggest a good old fashion cookie exchange.  This is a great party to have with your friends for a cold winter day.  You spend time with your friends and bake cookies and exchange recipes. Then you eat what you made while watching some holiday movies.

We have some suggestions for cookies that you can bake. Crisco has the best home made Chocolate Chip Cookies and Sugar Cookies recipes.  Sugar Cookies are fun because you get to decorate them how ever you want them.

Here are the recipes:



If you have someone, who is diabetic here is a great Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies.  We got this recipe from the American Diabetic Association.


If you have some friends, who can’t eat gluten here is a recipe from Betty Crocker for Sugar Cookies.


If you have friends who are Vegans, here is Betty Crocker’s Vegan Sugar Cookie recipe.


If you don’t want to make from scratch but still want to bake that is where Pillsbury Ready Made Cookies come in handy. 


If you and your friends aren’t good at baking at all but still want homemade, type cookies, you could always get fresh cookies from your favorite bakery.  It is just as good as if you made them yourself.

What goes better with cookies on a cold winter day is hot chocolate.  To make it a little more special you should just melt some chocolate peppermint candy in it.

If you have any left over cookies, you should get some Tupperware or Rubbermaid containers for your friends to take some home.  When you store the leftover cookies you should place a slice of white bread in the container.  This helps keeps the cookies from getting hard and stale.  The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread, keeping them soft longer.



The goal is just to have fun with your friends.

Holiday Movies, Cookies and Hot Cocoa

 



Here we are in December and it is holiday time.  For the people of the Jewish faith this week they are celebrating Chanukah. That is the festival of lights and lasts for 8 days.  Next week people of the Christian faith will be celebrating Christmas.  That holiday remembers the day Jesus was born.  Then before you know it the New Year is here.  In this hectic time we think you should take a few hours to yourself and curl up on the couch, watch some holiday movies and have cookies and cocoa.  This could help you relax.

It wouldn't be the holiday season if you didn't watch at least one holiday movie and why not a classic movie.  We have chosen "Miracle on 34th Street" but the 1994 version. "Miracle on 34th Street" is a time honored holiday movie watching tradition at this time of year. The 1994 version is the second remake of the original 1947 movie. That movie starred Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood.  The first remake was for TV in 1973.  That star David Hartman, Jane Alexander and Sebastian Cabot.  USA Network sometimes still airs that version.

In the 1994 version of the movie you will notice that Macy’s and Gimbels are no longer the stores that are mentioned, the reason for this is because Macy’s wouldn’t grant permission to use their name and Gimbles went out of business in the 80's. It stars Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle, Elizabeth Perkins as Dorie Walker, Dylan McDermott as Bryan Bedford and Mara Wilson as Susan Walker. This movie is about and we are quoting a line from the original 1947 movie when Fred Gailey who was Kris lawyer in that movie says, “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris that's on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles.”  Faith is something science can't prove. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling.  This movie will at most will give you a good feeling. If you want to know more follow this link.

The best snack for this movie is good old fashioned cookies and hot cocoa.  Here are some suggestions for that.

Now sit back and enjoy some holiday entertainment and we will be bringing you an extra blog this month for New Years Eve.
