Delectable Chocolate Almond Balls

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It is very easy and well--delectable. Enjoy!

24 ounces Chocolate bar with almonds (I use 5 of the big 5 ounce Hershey bars with almonds)
12 ounce Tub of whipped topping
Vanilla wafer crumbs
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler. (If you do it in the microwave be careful not to burn the chocolate by stirring often.) Stir in the whipped topping and refrigerate until mixture firms up. Roll about a teaspoon of mixture into a ball (I use a small cookie scoop) and roll ball in vanilla wafer crumbs. Keep refrigerated. So yummy.

Christmas Began with a Baby

I love this quote about the true meaning of Christmas by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. "At the focal point of all human history, a point illuminated by a newstar in the heavens revealed for just such a purpose, probably no othermortal watched--none but a poor young carpenter, a beautifulvirgin mother, and silent stabled animals who had not the power to utterthe sacredness they had seen. Shepherds would soon arrive and later, wisemen from the East. Later yet the memory of that night would bring SantaClaus and Frosty and Rudolph--and all would be welcome. But firstand forever there was just a little family, without toys or trees ortinsel. With a baby--that's how Christmas began."Itis for this baby that we shout in chorus: 'Hark! the herald angels singGlory to the newborn King! . . . Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them secondbirth' (Hymns, no. 209)." 

Perspective

"There are so many problems facing us individually and collectively.Yet I have the simple faith that many, if not all, of them can be put intoproper perspective by Paul's sublime message to the Galatians:'Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I liveby the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me'(Gal. 2:20)." (James E. Faust, "A Christmas with No Presents," Ensign, Dec. 2001, 5-6)
