Wake up your skin with a feel-fresh approach to the holiday season

t’s the most stressful time of the year. Or is it? The holiday season is a busy and overwhelming time with Christmas shopping, cooking and baking, decorating and the arrival of family and friends. But it is also necessary to schedule some “me time” for yourself to maintain rest and relaxation.

Look and feel your best for the holidays with a trip to Deep Blue Med Spa in Garden City.

Schedule yourself for a spa treatment, cosmetic and laser treatments or choose from a list of body services, but a facial may be the best place to start.

Deep Blue Med Spa offers several facials including the Deep Blue Med Spa Signature Facial, Optimum Hydration Facial, Deep Detox Facial, Fire and Ice Facial, Ultimate Vitamin Therapy, Vitamin C Facial and Teen Facial, all designed to cleanse and hydrate the skin.

But the most unique facial is the HydraFacial, which offers the

ability to moisturize the skin.

“Our clients love it because it works sort of like microneedling and is a refreshing and non-irritating treatment for the skin,” said medical aesthetician Nargiza Smith. “HydraFacial is very beneficial for all ages and skin types as it can diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduces hyperpigmentation and help to improve acne and oily skin among other benefits.”

Here’s how it works. The treatment displaces dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously providing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums through the use of hydradermabrasion and vortex-extraction. The first step is to cleanse the skin with a peel by gently exfoliating and resurfacing the area. Next, extractions and hydrations helps to clarify skin and purify pores with painless suction, later quenching skin with intense moisturizers. The last step is to fuse and protect the

Winter Gardening

BY JOHN SPAGNOLI

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Wintertime plants can bring joy on a cold winter day. If you love plants, this time of year outside can be dreary. Yes, snow is very majestic looking with white covering on the ground and provides for great sledding opportunities with family and friends.

But this time of year, we all want some flowering or ornamental green plants in our homes. What can plant lovers to do?

There are a number of plants that you can grow for inside flowers like amaryllis and poinsettia, which are popular for the holidays. Let’s not forget about outside trees like conifers.

Do you want a large flower or do you prefer small, dainty flowers.

Do you want a flower to bloom at a certain time for the holidays?

You can grow Amaryllis bulbs that can be planted with only a few inches of the bulb exposed. There are many varieties you can grow with relatively cheap bulbs. The rarer bulbs can cost $40 or more, but I personally prefer to just buy the bulb and not use a kit.

I have tried to continue growing the bulb after flowering with some luck, just keep the leaves in a sunny place so it can grow the bulb for next year.

I would recommend this especially if you paid a small ransom for the bulb.

Developing these varieties take years. First, breeders cross pollinated the flower. Seeds take a number of years to grow in size of

a full blooming amaryllis. This is the only way for a breeder to create new varieties and one of the reasons why some bulbs can be very expensive. You can grow them not only for Christmas but later in the winter as well, adding much needed color for a dreary garden.

Poinsettia plants are purchased for Christmas and other observed holidays. What looks like the flower is actually red leaves. The flower is in the middle of the leaves and is a composite flower with many small flowers. Another example of this is the sunflower.

The origin on a poinsettia plant is from Mexico. It is actually from a wild tree (Eurphorbia pulcherrima), which can grow up to eight feet tall.

There are multiple varieties in color as well: traditional red, pink and white varieties with different sizes that have been bred over many years.

As for the trees in winter, pine, spruce and fir conifers are evergreen, meaning that they are green year round. Snow covered conifers are appealing and make for great wintertime pictures.

Pine trees have a single point of attachment with several needles while spruce trees have small needles with a single attachment.

Fir tree needles are flat with a single attachment.

There are many other choices of plants for indoor flowers, which you can find at your local nursery.

ANTON COVER CONTEST

About The Artist

SECOND PLACE

FIRST PLACE

Jane Rubinstein, from Merrick, is a retired art teacher. Her submission, “Old-fashioned Winter Fun,” was selected as the first place winner of Anton Media Group’s Wintertime cover contest.

Jane’s passion is volunteering and she uses her art talent to paint a better picture for others painting store windows for the past 20 years and donating all of the money to children with heart disease. Her many awards for her community volunteering efforts include, “Make a Difference,” “Pathfinder,” Woman of Distinction,” and Achiever.”

In 2014, she was crowned Ms. Senior New York, and she continues to volunteer for seniors and veterans year round.

THIRD PLACE

“Nature has always been my sanctuary.

I grew up in the woods, on the beaches, in the parks of Long Island, which is where my profound respect for the environment comes

from,” said Colleen Kelly, of her submission. “As a single mom, my son is a part of every photo I take. Rediscovering nature through my son’s experiences is so rewarding.”

“Pretty Poinsettias” was taken by Ilene Schuss on her iPhone 7 at Hicks Nurseries’ Holiday Flower Show last November.

“I was dazzled by how beautiful these plants are and many different colors they came in, beyond the usual red most see them in,” she said of her inspiration. “My photos range from beautiful images of

nature, people, architecture, landscapes and special events.”

Schuss is a retired Information Technology Professional / Mathematics Teacher who took up photography as a hobby a number of years ago.

“I really enjoy improving my skills through experience, interaction with other photographers and online training,” she said, adding that a few

years ago she formed a Facebook photography group called, Long Island Photowalkers, which helps fellow photographers learn new photography skills.

Slow Cooker Chili Once the chilly weather hits, the slow cooker makes its seasonal debut, warming the hearts and tummies of all who gather round to watch it brew.

The beauty of a slow cooker is that you literally toss all of the ingredients in and forget about it for four hours (set on high) or eight hours (set on low).

With an unlimited amount of recipes for soups, stews and more at your disposal, try this take on a sweet and spicy double meat chili this winter.

2. In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, Pecorino Romano, mozzarella, parsley, herbed poultry seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. Add milk or heavy cream and egg noodles to the soup, stirring frequently so noodles do not stick to the sides. Cook noodles for several minutes or according to packaging.

4. Form small, gumball-sized meatballs and drop into soup.

Gently stir until all meatballs are submerged in broth.

5. Add spinach and cook for one minute, gently stirring.

he holidays aren’t complete until everyone has received a pair of socks. They are the perfect stocking stuffer and no one has ever turned down a brand new, cozy pair of socks, crisply folded and waiting to be worn for the very first time.

And customized to suit every recipient on your list.

Constructed to provide comfort and support even after miles of wear, they feature cushioned terry throughout the entire foot and toes, to help soften the impact of tough runs and workouts on feet. The narrower profile is designed

Injinji Everyday Box Set Ideal for work or wearing around town, this set of four pairs of Everyday Lightweight Crew socks comes packaged neatly in a gift box.

Made from breathable cotton, sturdy nylon and stretchy Lycra, these socks protect feet from blisters and hold up to friction. $40 at injinji.com ...................

Lands’ End Women’s 3-Pack Seamless Pattern Crew Socks Another nice gift set, these socks have smooth toe seams, so you’ll never get that “pebble in your shoe” feeling. To make them really special, you can have them monogrammed with the recipient’s initials.

Winter Style Roundup

BY COURTNEY SHAPIRO

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

W

arm up this winter with the latest in cozy, fashionable clothing. Wintertime fashion boasts big coats and exciting accessories. It might be time to stay warm, but it’s always time to be stylish and on trend.

For anyone who lives where the temperature drops below 50, it’s important to be prepared for the cold and snowy weather fluctuations. Check out our picks that should be gracing your wardrobe this season.

Knit Headbands Perfect for hair of any length and not as heavy as a hat, knit headbands are a cute way to keep warm this season. Like hats, these will still protect your ears from those chilly temperatures. The TIENCIY Women’s Winter Warm Beanie Headband in Burgundy, can be found on Amazon for $18.99.

Puffer Coats These jackets are made to keep you warm all season. With details such as fur trim, various zippers and different color choices, there is no way you can’t be warm and fashionable at the same time, like this coat from Eddie Bauer. Shown in black, regular length; $299. ...................

Pom Pom Hats These hats are fun and playful but will also keep your head and ears protected from the cold. Pom pom hats are an easy alternative that will stay trendy. Invest in a quality hat, like the pom pom hat from J. Crew in Heather Ash for $45, and you’ll be good to go.

...................

Over-the-knee Boots Sometimes it’s hard to see an outfit if you to bundle up because of the cold.

But you can still make a statement with over-theknee boots to amp up your look. Even though the top half of your outfit is covered, your legs will be warm and stylish at the same time, especially in these Juniper Overthe-Knee Boots, shown in black from Nordstrom for $79.95.

14A | WINTERTIME! • NOVEMBER 20-26, 2019

Blanket Scarves Big cozy scarves make for great transitional pieces between fall and winter. They are versatile and can be worn with any outfit to add that cozy feel. These tend to be larger than a regular scarf and can also be wrapped around like a shawl.

This mustard colored scarf from ASOS retails for $29. ...................

Fleece Jeans Certain stores are bringing the comfort of lounge pants straight to your jeans.

No one has to know they’re fleece lined except you and sometimes even regular jeans can be chilly if it gets too cold. Flaunt your jeans and keep your legs warm with the same pair of pants. No layering necessary. Try these dark wash cozy fleece jeans from Express on for size for $79.90.

Winter Getaway Spend a cozy weekend in Mystic, Connecticut

BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

K

nown for its world-class aquarium, Hollywood-famous pizza place and New England charm, Mystic, CT, is the perfect weekend destination for Long Islanders yearround. Winter is an especially great time to visit the seaside town, when crowds are fewer and off-season rates are available.

When you’re ready to get out of town for a few days, choose an under-the-radar destination like Mystic, and don’t miss out on these awesome activities and refreshing restaurants.

A Room with a View

There are many elegant inns and quaint B&Bs in Mystic, but you can’t go wrong staying at Hilton Mystic, 20 Coogan Blvd. The location can’t be beat—it’s a literal stone’s throw to the aquarium and Olde Mistick Village and a short drive to the seaport and historic downtown.

The hotel pays homage to the seafaring heritage of the area with nautical decorative touches and offers all the luxuries you would expect from a Hilton—comfortable guest suites, a fitness center, an indoor pool, event space and onsite dining at The Irons.

If you’d like to curl up with a good book, there are plenty of options on the first floor, including one of the seats next to the outdoor fire pits.

Get Touristic in Mystic

Sprawled across 19 acres on the riverfront, the Mystic Seaport Museum is the largest maritime museum in the country. Long Islanders will recognize it as Old Bethpage Village Restoration with a nautical bent. More than 60 historic buildings stand on the property to make up a 19th-century seafaring village complete with haberdashery, cooperage, chandlery and clam shack.

Warm up by the fire in the courtyard of the Hilton Mystic. (Photo source: Hilton Mystic) Below: Mystic Seaport Museum; right: Mystic Aquarium (Photos courtesy of Connecticut Office of Tourism)

The shipyard and collection of historic vessels is impressive. A National Historic Landmark, the Charles W. Morgan, is the only wooden whaling ship left in the world. Visitors are welcome aboard the restored whaleship that, in its 80-year career, embarked on 37 years-long voyages.

There are always different activities and exhibits going on. Especially with kids, you could easily spend a whole day exploring all the Mystic Seaport Museum has to offer.

Likewise, you could spend many hours exploring the Mystic Aquarium.

Around every corner is another incredible close-up encounter with animals you’d likely never happen upon outside of an aquarium. When you first walk in, you’ll see some smiley and friendly beluga whales. They look soft and squishy like a stuffed animal, you’ll just want to pet them.

Next, check out the outdoor exhibits, and head straight to the penguins. This group of African Penguins love to zoom all around their tank, flapping their wings like the propeller of a motorboat.

You can watch them gliding about from above and also through glass under the surface. The sea lion exhibit is nearby where the ‘dogs of the ocean’ swim around playfully.

Inside, you’ll find lots of fish, plus turtles, crabs, starfish, you name it. Prepare to spend several minutes mesmerized by jellyfish and biofluorescent coral.

All around, there are photo opportunities and interactive exhibits, many of which teach about conservation of our oceans. Educational exhibits about the Long Island Sound highlight threats to this critical ecosystem we share.

Get Artistic in Mystic

For a truly unique experience, drop

by Studio Jeffrey P’an on a Saturday at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. for a live glassblowing demonstration. It is amazing to watch him and his team work in his open-air studio at 25 Roosevelt Ave. In the 15 action-packed minutes it takes to make a martini glass, P’an and his team operate as a well-oiled machine, using torches and shaping tools, as well as furnaces reaching unfathomable temperatures.

P’an is an experienced artist and moves with an effortless confidence.

He narrates each step along the way as you watch the vessel emerge into existence. The beauty of his finished pieces—ranging from jewelry to vases to sculptures large and small—boggle the mind. After the demonstration, he is happy to answer questions and talk about his process. Some of his pieces resemble impressionist paintings, while others seem to be channeling abstract shapes, like a drippy Dali clock.

P’an’s artwork is even featured prominently at the Mystic Aquarium.

Any trip to Mystic should include a visit to his gorgeous studio where you can find one-of-a-kind souvenirs for your loved ones and yourself.

All You Can Eat

In addition to the historic sites, family-friendly activities and art scene, Mystic also has an abundance of excellent restaurants going for it.

Seafood is the name of the game. You can find it on every menu, whipped up every which way.

The Engine Room, located at 14 Holmes St. in the beautifully restored Lathrop Marine Engine building, serves up locally sourced American comfort food, plus a large variety of craft beers and bourbon. They make good burgers—including a tasty veggie burger made from wheat berries and mushrooms—and great fries that are seasoned and salted to perfection.

Their butternut squash appetizer is delicious due to the addition of crème fraiche and pecans. Also try the

deviled farm egg topped with crispy onions for a nice mix of textures.

Salads at the Engine Room, a good choice for lunch or dinner, feature local greens from Stone Acres Farm.

Less than two blocks away at 24 E Main St., Grass & Bone, affiliated with the Engine Room, is both neighborhood butcher shop and restaurant, offering casual counter service all day. The griddled breakfast burrito is a hearty option to start your day. The farm egg omelet is a lovely option as well. Grass & Bone is kind enough to sell their homemade sauces so you can bring the tastiest bits of your vacation home with you.

Tucked away on the Mystic River waterfront, Red 36 is Mystic’s best kept secret. With its prime location at 2 Washington St. and big windows, the seafood-centric restaurant is an excellent place to take in a sunset over a nice shrimp cocktail or glass of wine.

Of the appetizers on the dinner menu, the Thai peanut calamari and nachos are particularly popular.

The fried Brussels sprouts are on point— fully cooked through with crispy, brown outside layers and lots of flavor added by the bacon and garlic aioli. The Thai cauliflower dish has the right amount of heat to kick things up a notch.

The entrée menu at Red 36 features

56th

lobster roll, cod cakes, lobster carbonara, linguini & clams and more. The seared scallops are served with a truffle mushroom risotto. As a change to seafood, try the cashew encrusted pork, which is served over sweet potato and apple hash, with a bourbon apple sauce and haricot vert. It is the perfect seasonal dish.

If there’s room for dessert, try the crème brûlée and whipped cream for a heavenly combination of textures to top off the evening.

The delectable food in Mystic doesn’t end there.

The lovely S&P Oyster Restaurant and Bar sits on the riverfront offering a frontrow view of the Mystic Bridge, which you may be lucky enough to watch open and close through the large picture windows. When the weather is calm, the location at 1 Holmes St. is also prime for people-watching as they walk by.

Chef Edgar Cobena adds a South American flair to classic New England dishes. Take for example the sea scallop ceviche served with plantain and lavosh chips or the fried oyster taquitos made with blue corn flour,

yellow corn taquitos, remoulade with citrus slaw and yucca fries on the side.

You can’t go wrong with any entrée— from wood grilled salmon to shrimp scampi risotto to filet mignon.

S&P Oyster does the basics very well, such as their clam chowder and delightful rocket salad. A standout on the seasonal soups menu, the pumpkin bisque alone is worth the threehour drive to Mystic. It had the ideal level of sweetness, enhanced by a drizzle of molasses and complemented by the pecan garnish. Like drinking a pumpkin pie—warm and comforting.

Walk across the bridge after your meal to go shopping and sightseeing in the cute historic district, where you’ll find independent shops and Mystic Pizza of Julia Roberts movie fame.

As you can see, Mystic is an underrated winter vacation destination.

Sure, it may be cold, but there’s still a lot going on in this seaside village and many inviting places to warm up.

There’s so much to do and so much to eat, you’ll want to extend your weekend getaway to a whole week.

BOOKS

Magical Music Memoirs

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

S

tephen King once said, “Books are a uniquely portable magic.” While he’s biased given that he’s an award-winning novelist, there is plenty of truth to his words.

As such, they are a perfect gift and if you happen to have a music lover who is a recipient, the idea of presenting them with a music memoir is even more of a win-win-win situation. ...................

Another Day In the Life: My Life in Photos & Music (Genesis Publications)—Ringo Starr A slight 184-page book, according to Starr, “This is a way of putting my life out there, because if I were to write a memoir, there’d be five volumes before I got to The Beatles.

So I’m going at it this way, through photographs and quotes. And this is, I feel, a better way for me to do it.” ...................

Blood: A Memoir (Da Capo)— Allison Moorer The Grammyand Academy Award-nominated singer-songwriter shares the horrific childhood experience she shares with older sister Shelby Lynn—how her father shot and killed their mother on the front lawn before turning the gun on himself when Moorer was only 14. Moorer juxtaposes her past and present in this haunting and lyrical memoir that touches on the

meaning of inheritance, destiny, shame and trauma. She also shares how she was able to carve a safe place out of the world despite having to endure such a life-altering event. A foreword by sister Shelby further enhanced the vivid, haunting, intimate and life-affirming vibe that infuses this book. ...................

Acid For the Children: A Memoir (Grand Central Publishing)—Flea The Red Hot Chili Peppers founding member/bassist presents a coming-of-age story that uses hilarious anecdotes, poetical meditations and occasional flights of fantasy to deftly chronicle the experiences that forged him as an artist, musician and young man. In tracing his path from an Australian childhood to New York and finally Los Angeles, the quirky musician born Michael Balzary tells his story with a combination of naked vulnerability and Beat Generation-inspired enthusiasm that never makes this a boring read. ...................

The Beautiful Ones (Century)— Prince with Dan Piepenbring Started by Prince, the book was completed by Piepenbring, who was brought on to finish this project after the Purple One died on April 21, 2016.

The book was cobbled together from Prince’s 30 pages of handwritten recollections, a reconstructed photo album consisting of pictures from his childhood up through his debut album along with other images, the artist’s handwritten first synopsis of the film Purple Rain and myriad illustrations, memorabilia and handwritten lyrics retrieved from the Paisley Park archives. ...................

Face It: A Memoir (Dey Street Books)—Debbie Harry Plain spoken and mysterious, this autobiography shares Harry’s intriguing journey from a New Jersey childhood up through her early

18A | WINTERTIME! • NOVEMBER 20-26, 2019

days in New York City. The Blondie vocalist shares the ups and downs of her band, all wrapped up in a delivery that is bathed in equal parts pathos, humor and bittersweet reflection. Most intriguing is a chapter devoted to numerous near-death experiences from birth to adulthood that are tinged with violence and harassment. ...................

Hard To Handle: The Life and Death of The Black Crowes: A Memoir (Da Capo)—Steve Gorman with Steven Hyden With brothers Chris and Rich Robinson reuniting The Black Crowes for a 2020 tour, this tome, written by the group’s third founding member, predated the resurrection of the group (which Gorman is not taking part in). Gorman’s insight as a friend and bandmate who often served as a referee between the ofttimes warring siblings comes across brilliantly as he traces the journey the band endured through major artistic highs and internal chaos as the music industry was going through its last gasps as an environment that supported the idea of hard touring rock band making magic when they hit the stage. Gorman and Hyden’s humor, candor and honesty make this an exhilarating read topped off by the band’s interactions with the likes of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Aerosmith, Oasis and The Rolling Stones. ...................

More Fun in the New World: The Unmaking and Legacy of L.A. Punk (Da Capo)—John Doe & Tom DeSavia The continuation of Doe and DeSavia’s most excellent 2017 memoir Under the Big Black Sun, the duo continue exploring the L.A. punk rock movement. The focus is from the years 1982 to 1987, a time when punk was splintering into various sub-genres. The twosome also weaves in perspectives of numerous musicians including Henry Rollins, Fishbone, Billy Zoom, Mike

Ness, Jane Weidlin, Keith Morris, Dave Alvin, Louis Pérez, Charlotte Caffey, Peter Case, Chip Kinman, Maria McKee and Jack Grisham.

Renowned artist/illustrator Shepard Fairey, filmmaker Allison Anders, actor Tim Robbins, and pro-skater Tony Hawk each contribute chapters on punk’s indelible influence on the artistic spirit. ...................

Me: Elton John Official Autobiography (MacMillan)— Elton John In the event you’re looking to purge the fast-and-loose inaccuracies infusing the 2019 film Rocketman, John’s memoir does much to set the record straight in the course of 384 pages. Depression, suicide attempts, drug addiction and breakups are addressed as well as numerous anecdotes in which the likes of Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, George Michael and Gianni Versace pop up. Delivered with a warm and genial voice, Me is more about redemption and resilience than a quest for sympathy. ...................

Time Is Tight: My Life, Note by Note (Little, Brown & Company)— Booker T. Jones Multiinstrumentalist.

Record producer.

Songwriter. Arranger. Music icon.

Jones is all this and more dating back to his origins as one of the architects of the Stax-Volt sound as the leader of Booker T. and the MGs, the iconic label’s house band. Jones delves deep in sharing his experiences working with a wide variety of artists including Sam and Dave, Santana, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and many more greats.

All Aboard For The Holiday Train Show

BY COURTNEY SHAPIRO editorial@antonmediagroup.com

H

oliday season is already in full swing and starting on Nov. 23, New York City will once again host its Holiday Train Show. The show is deemed as New York City favorite and will run until Jan. 26 at the New York Botanical Garden. Admission includes the show as well as an AllGarden Pass.

Model trains will be going through a display of more than 175 landmarks famous to New York City.

The artist, Paul Busse, uses unconventional, natural materials to create iconic places including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center and several others. Busse

has been building these landscapes out of bark, acorns, and other materials since the first Holiday Train show of 1992.

This year the show will be displayed in a winter wonderland setting next to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and there will be more than 25 model trains to observe.

The trains ride along almost

half a mile of track.

The Holiday Train Show offers programs for people of all ages. Families can take their kids to the Evergreen Express where they can pretend to ride the rails and hike the trails. On weekends and certain dates there are crafting, sing-along, and a Thomas the Tank Engine adventure.

For those coming to enjoy the holidays, there is a specific holiday landmark tour, winter tree tours, a lighting ceremony, annual bird count, as well as special opportunities for those who are members of the NYBG. Members have access to special breakfast, early previews, a shopping weekend and more.

If you are 21 and up, the Holiday Train Show has a special treat for you. Enjoy boozy hot chocolate or other spirits, outdoor excitement, and a special after dark presentation of the show.

There are several aspects to be enjoyed during the show.

Guests can sit by the fire, watch artistic ice sculpting, observe festive performers and be surrounded by inevitable holiday cheer.

The Holiday Train Show is a must-see experience for the winter and holiday season. Make it a date night, family trip, or even go by yourself and enjoy the display.

eeping busy during the month of December is a lot easier than it seems. Between shopping, gifts, cards and holiday dinners, there’s plenty to do. Oftentimes the challenge lies in dealing with the stress the holiday season brings. Here are 22 fun activities to try throughout December.

Do Some Shopping

Procrastinators who missed out on Black Friday aren’t completely out of luck. Shopping deals start to pop up as it gets closer and closer to Christmas, with discounts especially prominent in outlet stores. And while many feel the mad rush of Black Friday is exciting, scrambling for a gift at the last minute can be just as fun. Just don’t tell anyone.

Treat Yourself

While you may be busy thinking of others this holiday season, don’t forget to take some time for yourself.

A fancy lunch, extra shopping purchase and some beauty pampering are just some of the ways to indulge.

Decorate

Holiday decorating can feel like a chore, but once the process is over, it’s that much easier to get into the spirit. The end of the year is also a good time to do some general redecorating around the house. As the expression goes, out with the old and in with the new.

Enjoy The Snow

Snow can be a hassle, especially when shoveling is required, so it pays to make the best of it. Build a snowman, have a snowball fight or make a snow angel. An afternoon in the snow makes the hot chocolate taste even better.

Go Caroling

When it comes to door-to-door visits, there’s strength in numbers, so bring a good-sized group; the more the merrier. Watching the mix of joy and confusion on each homeowner’s face is its own kind of thrill.

Ice Skate

Ice skating can help most anyone get into the winter spirit. It’s also a great way to get exercise without having to deal with the snow. Go around the rink, pick up a little speed with each lap and you’ll be comfortable in no time.

Throw a Party

It can be an ugly sweater party or just a simple potluck dinner, but

no matter the theme, there can never be too many holiday parties.

Rotating hosting duties with friends is a good way to keep the fun going throughout the month without feeling the burden of making eggnog week after week.

Go Sledding

One reason to pray for snow is that without it, sledding wouldn’t be possible. Climb to the top of the hill, ride the sled all the way down to the bottom and do it all over again. It’s as simple as that.

Catch Up On Your Favorite TV Shows

Most series go on hiatus in December and with a little extra time off, there’s a golden opportunity to binge-watch the episodes you’ve missed in the passing weeks, without having to worry about falling further behind. It’s an especially good activity for those days or nights of being snowed in.

Bake Some Treats

If ever there’s a time to indulge a little, it’s the holidays.

Though classics like gingerbread, shortbread and sugar cookies can be hard to resist, there are always new and intriguing recipes to experiment with like biscotti, cookie bars, lemon squares, cakes, pies and breads. Try enough of them out and before you know it, there may be a new favorite on your list.

Donate To Those In Need

Everyone knows the holidays are about giving, but

26A | WINTERTIME! • NOVEMBER 20-26, 2019

there’s no need to stop at friends and family. Churches and community centers accept nonperishable food items to give to people in need.

Giving just one item can go a long way in brightening the holidays for others.

See the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

It’s often said that New York City is beautiful around Christmastime and the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center is a big reason why. The tree will be lit on Nov. 30 and will be available for viewing all December long.

Go To the Jones Beach Light Show

Though the annual drive-through show went dormant for a few years, it started up again in 2014.

The display of Christmas lights is beautifully arranged into depictions of Christmas symbols and popular characters. Tune in to the simulcasted radio channel to enhance the experience.

Get Creative With Cards

Even though it’s easy to send a Christmas card with a picture, homemade cards have become more popular in recent years. Materials such as glitter, finger-paint and fabric have turned making a Christmas card into a unique kind of arts and crafts project.

Relax

Everyone deserves a little R and R, so why not treat yourself to some during this hectic month? A massage, day at the spa, a bubble bath, take-out delivery or cup of tea (or glass of wine) in front of the television are a great start to putting your to-do list on hold.

Watch a Holiday Movie

Netflix typically has a nice selection and TV networks can always be counted on for marathons. The only real question is where to begin. With movies like It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, Rudolph the Red-Nosed

Reindeer and countless others, there’s never enough time to get to all of them.

See The Rockettes

The Christmas Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall, featuring the Rockettes, is one of the holiday season’s most famous attractions.

With performances running all month long, multiple times per day, there are plenty of opportunities to catch one of New York City’s oldest Christmas traditions.

Read a Book

Go on a technology hiatus for a few hours and hunker down with a blanket, hot beverage and a good book.

Choose from a traditional classic, holiday favorite or whatever is on the New York Times best-seller list.

Volunteer Your Time

While it is important to help those in need year round, the holidays can be extra hard for those in need.

Consider helping out at a soup kitchen or coat drive, reading to seniors or listening to someone who needs a friend.

Have a Secret Santa Exchange

One way to spice up gift-giving between friends is to make the identity of each giver a secret. That way it’s much harder to predict what kind of gift you’ll end up opening.

Plus, it’s always interesting when the time comes to guess who your gift is from; you may not know your friends as well as you think.

Catch Up With Loved Ones

Not every holiday plan has to be overly elaborate. The holidays often bring people together and December could be the only chance to spend time with friends or relatives who live far away. Catching up with someone you haven’t seen in a while can be its own kind of gift.

Take a Trip

Cold temperatures and snow have become so synonymous with Christmas that it’s easy to forget that those things may not be for everyone. Warm locales are a popular choice, but merely seeing an unfamiliar place might be relief enough.

This is why you’ll make decisions that cause radical change in the procedure of the year. The purposeful action in your personal and professional life will have the effect you crave. You’ll afford a beautiful property or possession in February. Promises are exchanged in the spring. Dormant power will be liberated through the personal work you do in August.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your attention is a commodity that everyone wants.

Unless you plan a defense against intrusive distraction, it will be a constant. Peace is essential to your well-being. Don’t expand the definition of serenity to include things you think you can tolerate. Maintain moments of being where it’s all you, without compromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are times this week when the most beneficial approach to the problem will be to see it from another person’s perspective. But more often, you’ll add to the situation by allowing, exploring and celebrating your own perspective. You’ll have an excellent sense for what’s needed. Own it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Believe it or not, there are people in this world who cannot live without their daily dose of annoyance. The trouble gives them a focus, as well as a scapegoat on which to blame their lack of progress. Avoid such people. Surround yourself goal-oriented folks who prefer to get there without a lot of extra baggage.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It is noble and right to put the needs of children, the infirm and the elderly before you own. In contrast, when dealing with able adults, there is no reason you should oblige another while disobliging yourself. Don’t let manipulative people dissuade you. Get on your own side. Make your moves. Take your chances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t mistake mimicry for good taste. To copy a trend or make something look like a picture isn’t all that hard. Just like you can train your body or intellect, you can train yourself to have excellent taste. It starts with getting in touch with what delights your senses, and exploring what brings you pleasure and enjoyment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In coping with the stressors of life, it’s different strokes for different folks. Don’t waste a minute wishing life were some other way than it is. Just keep moving forward with solutions. Try one. If it doesn’t work, then try another. Be scientific and results-oriented. Feelings will change while the facts will not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re the leader now, and it will mean that you have to go somewhere so the others can follow. Leaders don’t lead people to wait. If there is no action, an action must be created. Incapacity for action is more harmful than any mistake you could make this week. Better to make a wrong move than no move.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Saying “yes” is easy to get right, but there are many pitfalls to avoid and nuances to tend to around the word “no” this week. There’s a learning curve here, so go easy on yourself as you get it wrong. Generally, saying “no” early on in the interaction is best, as is directness, gentleness, firmness and brevity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s natural to anticipate and predict life as you go.

Expectation helps you make sense of a world you might otherwise experience as chaos.

Even so, sometimes you don’t realize you have an expectation until it goes unmet. The easygoing way is to stay flexible. Adjustments can and will be made.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People trust you. It has something to do with the air of certainty you project. Sure, it’s not how you always feel inside. It is natural for internal weather to involve mixed emotions. Regardless, you realize the importance of sending a clear message. Vacillation creates confusion. Choose your route and commit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most things are not obtained simply because they are not attempted. Without getting too nosey or personal, there are things you really want to know about, especially having to do with how things work and how to execute certain tasks. People will love to enlighten you on these matters. All you need to do is ask.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Feelings change. Sometime they change over the course of months; sometimes they change over the course of moments. Even so, maturity disallows you from following through with every emotional whim. Process privately. If you can retreat to a more peaceful environment, that will help.

Golden Sounds From The Long Island Baroque Ensemble

ast month, the Long Island Baroque Ensemble (LIBE) began its 50th concert season of performances of music of the 17th and 18th centuries for Long Island audiences. The next recitals will be on Dec. 7 at St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Smithtown and on Dec. 8 at Christ Church in Oyster Bay. The group was founded in 1969 by Sonia Gezairlian Grib, a professor of music theory and history at Hofstra University as well as a harpsichordist and musicologist who was one of the pioneers of early music in the New York area. She assembled a large group of gifted professional artists, skilled performers of early music on period instruments not often seen on concert stages such as the lute, recorders, viola da gamba, chitarrone, harpsichord and various kinds of percussion, in addition to the better-known range of string instruments and reeds as well as vocalists.

While concertgoers are familiar with the

works of J. S. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, Grib also ranged farther afield in the repertory of composers of the European medieval, renaissance and baroque eras. A grant from the Kosciuszko Foundation enabled her to explore Polish music of the 15th and 16th centuries; in addition, some LIBE programs included works by Swedish, Czech, Mexican and Middle Eastern composers.

The organization has been supported by The New York State Council on the Arts, Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and Suffolk County.

Grib retired in 2012 and passed away in 2018 at the age of 82. Her daughter, Margo Andrea, succeeded her as artistic director. The five programs in each season are presented in pairs: Saturday evenings in St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Smithtown (30 Brooksite Dr., No. 32) and Sunday afternoons in Christ Church in Oyster Bay (61 E. Main St.). Seasonal subscriptions or tickets to individual concerts are available online at www.libaroque.org or by mail from Long Island Baroque Ensemble, 154 W. 123rd Street, New York, NY 10027.
