Welcome to our new feature called ‘Retro Wednesday’.  We know you, the members of ARWB, are busy writing tons of great content for your own websites.  We want you to have the opportunity to share these links with our other readers.  Each Wednesday we will feature several posts from our archives as well as your archives by providing an excerpt and a link to your favorite post from your personal blog.  Sometimes we will have a theme, sometimes we will post a variety of links.  This weeks theme is Christmas! Enjoy!

O’ Christmas Tree

I do love our tree.  It doesn’t have fancy ornaments or matching handmade bows.  It will never win a home interior contest.  But, it is filled with memories and stories and I look forward to adding ornaments each year as our memories and our stories grow. Visit Ting’s Mom to read O’ Christmas Tree today!

 Gingerbread Men

Anita Stafford of Aunt Nubby’s Kitchen shares her Gingerbread Men.  She says. “This Gingerbread Cookie recipe is a favorite at my house. I love the added orange zest in this recipe, and this dough can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for a few days until you’re ready to bake it. You can decorate these any way you like or make them plain – they’ll be a hit either way.”
