Helpful Hints for Christmas Shopping

Nov 28, 2025

I hope all my fellow Americans had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday!

I know we did! We had a very low-key week of vacation and a nice family meal yesterday. We’ve watched movies, played board games, and done some reading and writing and just general “chilling” this week, and it has been a sweet and well-needed rest.

Today, of course, is what many refer to as Black Friday, and I thought I might write up a little post to give you some helpful ideas for any Christmas shopping you might choose to do over the weekend! Check out these nifty sales!

Any links I’ve included are affiliate links, which don’t cost you anything extra, but if you choose to use them, I make a small commission that helps support my writing.

Welcome back to another Evening in the Stormcave!

While you prepare for Thanksgiving, why not take a few minutes to listen in as we chat with Philip Wilder about taking wild steps of faith WITH God.

Grant and I were so excited to have Philip over to our podcast and youtube channel. Philip is a missionary, author, and adventurer. His most recent book, Jake Rogers’ Planet, was a Christy Award Finalist, and has quickly become one of my new favorite reads in the past couple of months.

Meet the author

Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

Jenelle first fell in love with stories through her father’s voice reading books aloud each night. A relentless opener-of-doors in hopes of someday finding a passage to Narnia, it was only natural that she soon began making up fantastical realms of her own. Jenelle currently resides in the wintry tundra of Wisconsin —which she maintains is almost as good as Narnia — with her knight-in-shining armor and their four hobbits. When she is not writing, she homeschools said hobbits and helps them along on their daily adventures... which she says makes her a wizard.

Welcome, Dear Reader

You are stronger than you think. You are braver than you think.

Courage is not about an absence of fear, it is making the choice to face your fear and not let it rule you.

In my stories, you will travel to new worlds with vivid landscapes. You will meet characters who will become your friends. You will go on adventures and fulfill quests and overcome obstacles.

You will be home in time for dinner… but you will not go home unchanged.

Here, you will find a haven from the darkness of the world around you, and when you close the book, my great hope is that you will have found the strength to face that darkness, knowing you are not alone.
