Angels.
Angels are Immortal spirits that appear to mankind at important moments. They appear to man as messengers of god, bringing messages of comfort, warnings, tests of belief and deliverance. They are also bringers of peace and goodwill. The New Testament tells how the Angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks to bring them good tidings of great joy, the Birth of Christ, and the multitude of angels proclaimed, Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men. Everyone has a guardian angel watching over and providing protection from harm. Spreading their loving wings, guardian angels escort us all securely through life. They help lessen our fears and misery, allowing us to be optimistic about whatever the future brings. Select this link to view our Unique Christmas Ornaments.

Christmas Gingerbread History
Ginger reached Europe in the 11th century when it was brought back by those who traded with the Middle East. The attractions of ginger were quickly recognized: it could be used medicinally, to treat flatulence, hangovers, and stomach disorders, as a preservative, to flavor food, and the ginger root was soon traded at fairs across the continent. The center of the medieval ginger trade was Nuremburg, which became famous for its Christmas gingerbread cakes and cookies baked by a special guild of Lebkuchler. At Christmastime, Christmas gingerbread was a well-loved feature of Nuremburg’s Christkindlmarket, as it is to this day. Gingerbread can be made hard or soft, dark or light, heavily spiced or mild. It can be cut into various shapes, the most famous of which are “gingerbread men”, the invention of which, some attribute Queen Elizabeth I of England and Christmas gingerbread houses, which Germans call Hexenhausle, or “witches’ houses,” after the home of the confectioner in “Hansel and Gretel.” Christmas gingerbread can also be cut into shapes suitable for ornaments and hung from Christmas trees as Christmas gingerbread man ornaments.
