Christmas Corner

Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.
- Lenora Mattingly Weber



Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
- Charles Dickens



To celebrate the heart of Christmas is to forget ourselves in the service of others.
- Henry C. Link



Christmas is the time to let your heart do the thinking.
- Patricia Clafford



3 Day Coconut Cake Recipe

Make at LEAST 3 - 4 days BEFORE you plan to eat.

The night before you begin to prepare cake, blend together sour cream, coconut (thawed and drained) and sugar. Reserve 1 cup.

Ingredients:
1 pkg. White cake mix
16 oz. sour cream
12 oz. frozen coconut (thawed)
1 1/2 cup Cool Whip
1 cup sugar

Directions:

Step 1:
Prepare cake mix as per instructions. Let cool. Split layers in half to end up with 4 layers.

Step 2:
Spread all but reserved 1 cup of sour cream/coconut/sugar mixture between layers.

Step 3:
Mix Cool Whip together with reserved 1 cup sour cream/coconut/sugar mixture. Frost cake with this mixture. Cover with cake plate cover to keep moist and fresh. Keep refrigerated. Do not eat for THREE DAYS. The longer it sits, the better it is.

Note: KEEP OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND, to guarantee the cake will age for the correct amount of time.
