Jengibre and Santa

Jengibre with big singing Santa Clause. I made Jengibre this Santa suit a couple of years ago. Since then I have made her a frosty snow man w/ a carrot nose and a brown leather reindeer jacket with red antlers. I will post them too, during this month. I want to make her a couple more Christmas coats this year. Any ideas?!

Here is where I would like to add a touching story about a little girl from a poor family who loved attending Sunday school ... And the Philadelphia, Temple Baptist church. I hope you will take the time to read it!!
There were so many children and the Temple Babtist church was so small that sometimes this little girl could not get in.
The little girls name was Hattie May Wiatt. She lived near this Philadelphia church where the Sunday school was so crowded and and the Reverend told her that one day they would have buildings big enough to allow every one of God's children to attend who wanted to. Later Hattie May Wiatt became sick an died. Reverend Conwell was asked to arrange the funeral and the little girls Mother told the Reverend that Hattie May had been saving money to help build a bigger church and Hattie's mother gave the Reverend the purse in which Hattie May had saved 57 cents for the church. Reverend Conwell had Hattie May's 57 cents turned into 57 pennies, and told the congregation the story of little Hattie May and then the Reverend sold the pennies for a return of about 250 dollars. In addition, 54 of the original pennies were returned to Reverend Conwell and he later put them on display. This was in 1856 when 57 cents was no small savings for a little girl from a poor family! Some of the members of the church formed what was called the Wiatt Mite society which was dedicated to making Hattie May's 57 cents grow as much as possible and to buy the property for the Primary Department of the Sunday school. A house nearby was purchased with the 250 dollars that Hattie May's 57 cents had produced and the rest is history. The first classes of the Temple College, later Temple University, were held in that house. It was later sold to allow Temple College to move and the growth of the Temple along with the founding of the Good Samaritan Hospital (Now the Temple University Hospital) ... it all shows the power of a little girls unselfish dreams and her 57 cents!!!
