Debbie's DIY Moonsand

I looked at a lot of other recipes for DIY Moonsand, but none of them were edible. I knew that M would end up eating it. Everything goes straight to his mouth. I didn't want him to eat sand or baby oil, so I made my own. I mixed 6 cups of flour, 2 cups of cornmeal (for a little bit of texture), and 1 cup of canola oil. The little ones loved it!

Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have
