So, Merry Christmas!  Remember why you&#8217;re doing what you&#8217;re doing.  Jesus is the best present ever given, and the best one you can receive, and I pray that you know Him this year.  And if not, what&#8217;s stopping you?<\/p>\n<p>Just adding a little piece of Shaw tradition here:  The Candy Cane Coffee Cake (which is really a bread, but that&#8217;s not so alliterative).  We made it every year since before I can remember, and I&#8217;ve done it every year with my kids.  It makes three, so one to share (the one here), one for Christmas morning, and one for New Year&#8217;s Day.  And no, it doesn&#8217;t taste like candy canes.  Just looks like one.
