Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 2 hours. Set up a stand up mixer with the paddle attachment and add cream cheese to the bowl. Turn the mixer on low and mix cream cheese. Add spiced rum, and wait until fully incorporated before adding the eggs. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure that it is completely mixed in before adding the next egg. Add the nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Slowly add in sugar. It’s up to you how much sugar you want to put in, depending on how sweet you would like your cheesecake. Once the mixture has completely combined, strain the mixture through a fi ne mesh strainer. Preheat your oven at this point to 300ºF. Pour mixture into mason jars, and place into a casserole dish, or another dish that has walls. You will be baking the cheesecakes in a water bath. Pour hot water into the casserole dish until the water reaches halfway up the mason jar. Place cheesecakes in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes have set. To check if the cheesecakes are done, simply shake the pan. The cheesecakes should not be molten in the middle. Cool cheesecakes completely before serving. Serve with graham crumb and whipped cream.

Away in a Manger

everybody stopsand stares at methese two teeth aregone as you can seei don’t know just whoto blame for this catastrophe!But my one wish on christmas eveis as plain as it can be!

all i want for christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth!gee, if i could onlyhave my two front teeth,then i could wish you“Merry christmas.”it seems so long since i could say,“sister susie sitting on a thistle!”gosh oh gee, how happy i’d be,if i could only whistle (thhhh)

all i want for christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth.gee, if i could onlyhave my two front teeth,then i could wish you“Merry christmas!”

away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little lord jesus laid down his sweet head.the stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little lord jesus asleep on the hay.

the cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little lord jesus no crying he makes.i love thee, lord jesus! look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.there must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found. for when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

o, frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh & play just the same as you & me.thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,look at frosty go.thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,over the hills of snow.frosty the snowman knewthe sun was hot that day,so he said, “let’s run and

we’ll have some funnow before i melt away.”down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,running here and there allaround the square saying,“catch me if you can”he led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop.and he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “stop!”

for frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way,but he waved goodbye saying,“don’t you cry,i’ll be back again some day.”thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,look at frosty go.thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,over the hills of snow.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear it came upon the midnight clear,that glorious song of old,from angels bending near the earth,to touch their harps of gold:“peace on the earth, good will to men from heaven’s all gracious King.”

the world in solemn stillness layto hear the angels sing.still thru the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled;and still their heav’nly music floats o’er all the weary world.above it’s sad and lowly plainsthey bend on hov’ring wing,and ever o’er its Babel soundsthe blessed angels sing.for lo! the days are hast’ning on,By prophets seen of old, When with the ever circling yearsshall come the time fore told.

When the new heav’n and earth shall ownthe prince of peace their King,and the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

We three kings of orient are,

Bearing gifts we traverse afar,

field and fountain, moor & mountain,

following yonder star.

o, star of wonder, star of might,

star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

guide us to the perfect light.

Born a babe on Bethlehem’s plain;

gold we bring to crown him again;

King forever, ceasing never,

over us all to reign.

o, star of wonder, star of might,

star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

guide us to the perfect light.

Winter Wonderland sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

in the lane, snow is glistening

a beautiful sight,

we’re happy tonight,

walking in a winter wonderland.

gone away is the bluebird,

here to stay is a new bird

he sings a love song,

as we go along,


in the meadow

we can build a snowman,

then pretend that he is parson Brown

he’ll say: “are you married?”

we’ll say: “no man,

but you can do the job

when you’re in town.”

later on, we’ll conspire,

as we dream by the fire

to face unafraid,

the plans that we’ve made,


in the meadow we can build a snowman,

and pretend that he’s a circus clown

We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,

though your nose gets a chilling

We’ll frolic and play, the eskimo way,


WeThree Kings

Chow Mein Cookies

Christmas Almond Biscotti

Melt chocolate in double boiler. Keep warm and set aside. Mix noodles, chopped almonds, mangos and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add chocolate and mix until coated. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small ice cream scoop, or 2 spoons, put mound on sheet. Let set at room temp for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs just until blended. Gradually beat in sugar and continue to beat about 2 min. Beat in more slowly the oil, extracts and zests. At low speed, add the flour mixture until combined. Beat in the almonds with a spoon. Let the dough stand at room temperature for about 10 min. Turn the dough out into a work surface and divide into quarters. Place each quarter onto a baking sheet, forming a long strip about 9” long and 2.5” wide. Sprinkle with coloured sugar. Bake the loaves for 35 minutes, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F. Transfer the warm loaves to a cutting board and, cut crosswise into 1/2” slices. Line the baking sheets with new parchment paper. Arrange the slices (cut side down) on the cookie sheets and bake for another 18 - 22 minutes, again switching the sheets’ position about halfway through. They should be a light golden colour when removed to cool on a rack.
