Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from District 2 and our families
to yours.
Christmas time is oh so near
Children so excited you can hear them cheer
Enthusiasm and excitement fill the air
And people show love in how they care.
Take the time to enjoy the season
And be thankful for the reason.

Christmas Recipes
Honey Glazed Ham
Ingredients:
1 (5 pound) ready-to-eat ham, 1/4 cup whole cloves, 1/4 cup dark corn syrup, 2 cups honey, 2/3 cup of butter
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in foil lined pan.
  3. In the top half of a double boiler, heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
  4. Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.
Potatoes Supreme
Ingredients:
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup undiluted, 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese,1 cup sour cream, 1 small onion, chopped, 3 green onions chopped, salt and ground black pepper to taste, 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cover and cook until almost tender, 7 to 12 minutes; drain and cool.
  3. Combine soup, 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in potatoes. Place mixture in prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.
New York Cheesecake
Ingredients:
15 graham crackers crushed, 2 tablespoons butter melted, 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, 3/4 cup milk, 4 eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
The Great Pinecone Drop
Rising three stories above Flagstaff’s historic downtown, the six-foot tall Pine Cone will be hoisted into place like a giant holiday ornament to hang from the 112-year-old hotel on November.
The Great Pine Cone has become a New Year’s Eve tradition since 1999 when the Weatherford Hotel rang in the new millennium and honored the Weatherford Hotel’s 100-year anniversary. Since then, thousands gather in the streets for the countdown into the New Year and the lowering of the Pine Cone.
