Origins of popular traditions the fireplace mantel is traced to a poem penned in 1823 by Clement Clark Moore. A line from the classic literature, “Visit from St. Nicholas,” goes: “And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.”

This famous snippet ultimately led children to hang their stockings on Christmas Eve in hopes that St. Nicholas would fill them with presents and candies.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Christmas invites popular traditions that are observed in most american homes. From caroling to hanging your stockings with care, the origins behind the celebrations are as important as the action themselves.

Educate your loved ones about the history that shaped the holiday events we know today.

Hanging stockings

According to the Smithsonian, the act of hanging stockings over

The History Channel says that the popularization of decorating the Christmas tree occurred in 1846 when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert posed with their family tree for the London news. Before that, German lutherans were tied to the festivity since the 17th century and Christmas trees were spotted in Pennsylvania as early as 1820. The evergreen tree is the traditional option as they are considered lucky because they remain green even in the winter months.

Kissing under the mistletoe

Dating back several thousand years ago, Celtic druids thought the mistletoe plant had sacred powers, healed illnesses and sometimes predicted the future. It became a Christmas time tradition as the plant was gathered during the summer and displayed around the holidays.

The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe began in ancient Greece.

It was first noticed during the Festival of Saturnalia and eventually in wedding ceremonies.

Singing carols

The heritage of singing religious carols within groups has roots found in medieval times when citizens traveled from house to house to wish people good health. According to the library of congress, the tunes received a Christmas theme around the 1800s in America.

In the 1900s, cities like New York, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia saw a surge in caroling, leading to the release of commercialized songbooks. The events were used to raise money for children’s charities.

Scents of the season

The long, dark days of winter are the perfect time to break out the warm glow of candles. Keep reading for what scents to burn this year and how to keep yourself safe while staying cozy.

O, Christmas Tree

Christmas-tree scented candles are always popular this time of year. Magnify your real tree with festive scents from Yankee Candle (look for Balsam & Cedar), Williams Sonoma’s Winter Forest, Threshold’s Frasier Fur and Bath & Body Works’ Fresh Balsam.

Hard candy Christmas

Make your home smell sweet without any of the work with these delicious smelling candles. If you love the warm scent of roasting nuts, go for Bee & Willow Home’s Pistachio and Praline candle. Also look for Yankee Candle’s Floral Candy and Christmas Eve.

Just desserts

If candy isn’t your thing, there’s a ton of toasty scents that’ll have your house smelling like your favorite bakery in no time. Look for White Barn’s Paris Café, with rich roasted

@ADOBE STOCK

coffee scents mixed with sugared brioche and vanilla. Also consider WoodWick candles’ Oatmeal Cookie, Pumpkin Butter, and the Café Sweets Trilogy candle with vanilla, caramel and biscotti scents.

WoodWick candles feature a special wick that pops and crackles as it burns, making for a cozy, homey feel.

Wax warmers

If you’re not a fan of open flame, you can buy wax warmers in your local home store and wax chunks in your favorite scents from most major candlemakers. Just be aware that you’re trading the danger of an open flame for the danger of hot, melted wax. Both things should be kept on stable surfaces and out of the reach of children and pets.

Candle safety

On average, 22 home candle fires are reported each day, the National Fire Protection Association says.

The two peak days for candle fires are Christmas and Christmas Eve. The group offers these tips for candle safety.

• Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything flammable.

• Blow out all the candles when you leave the room or go to bed.

Avoid using candles in the bedroom and in other places were people may fall asleep.

• Use sturdy candle holders that won’t tip over easily.

• Put candle holders on a sturdy,

uncluttered surface.

• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Put it out before it gets too close to the holder or the container.

• Never use a candle if there’s oxygen in the home.

• Don’t use candles during a power outage.

Wishing you all a joyous Holiday Season.

Create ornaments as a family tree each year, so try to use highquality items.

If you have children, include them in the custom ornament builds. With this tradition, you will witness their creativity and crafting skills progress year after year. Store the decorations in sealed packaging to protect the paint or materials used for the creation. Once your little ones grow and begin having kids of their own, handing them down so they decorate their trees is a wholesome milestone.

Here are some fun ideas to get you started as you build a new holiday tradition.

@ADOBE STOCK

Cookie-cutter ornaments

Do you need help getting into the holiday spirit? A festive evening crafting personalized ornaments with your loved ones can do the trick.

Consider visiting your local arts and crafts store to pick up some durable materials. Remember, these relics will decorate your Christmas

Find brass or steel Christmasthemed cookie cutters at your local grocery store or hobby outlet. You will need a hot glue gun to adhere the materials to a high-quality paper.

Choose an ornament backing that is festive for a holiday like one featuring trees or jingle bells.

Allow the cookie cutter to completely bond to the page before using a small blade to cut around the edges. You can then use acrylic paints or glitter to create an exciting design to display on the tree. Once

the decorations are in place, make a loop out of ribbon or twine, then glue it on the ornament’s back to hang.

Redecorate store-bought ornaments

Consider redesigning old storebought ornaments you already own.

Find materials like glitter, paint markers or stencils to customize the project and give old decorations a new life. Children can use lessons learned when creating Easter eggs by dipping frosted ornaments into cups of paint, crafts glue, water and gel food coloring. Simply drop the globes into the mixture to create attractive displays.

Elf door

If the Elf on the Shelf visits your home each Christmas, consider building an elf door ornament to act as its entry portal. Kids will enjoy the view of their stuffed buddy’s gate to the North Pole, which he accesses to visit with Santa. You may find plain door ornaments kits and use your imagination to give it an attractive flair with varying colors, a mini wreath and lights.

How to make holiday wreaths There are many different ways to decorate homes and businesses for the holidays. Tall evergreen trees are among the most visible symbols of the holiday season. However, wreaths hung on doors, windows or fences also are ubiquitous this time of year.

Wreaths adorn homes primarily during the holidays of Easter and Christmas. Wreaths have also been worn around the head or neck in ceremonial events around the globe for centuries. It is believed the first wreaths date back to ancient Greece and Rome. Members of the GrecoRoman society were known to handmake ring-shaped items using fresh tree leaves, small fruits, flowers, and twigs. Oftentimes these headdresses symbolized a person’s social status.

Others suggest wreaths evolved to become a Christian symbol of immortality.

Regardless of how wreaths are viewed, many people like to display wreaths for the holidays. Wreaths

can be purchased premade, but making a wreath on your own can make the holidays even more fun.

One of the easiest ways to make a wreath is to design it around a circular floral foam form. Gather supplies to make the wreath. For traditional wreaths, supplies will include sprigs of evergreen (real or artificial), ribbon, floral wire, bows, and artificial berries. Working around the foam form, arrange the boughs of evergreen, using the floral wire to wrap or pin into the foam itself. Keep the layers coming until you get the desired coverage.

Embellish with a ribbon or place a bow.

The blog “A Piece of Rainbow” says that creating a wreath jig is an easy way to make a wreath.

Cut a dollar-store laundry basket bottom from the top ring to make a template, on which you can place wreath-making materials so they keep their circular form. Use floral wire or natural jute string to tie

forms made of natural vines that have been strung in a ring. These can be decorated in their entirety or left a little sparse to let the natural twine show through.

Wreaths may seem like complicated creations. But a little imagination and the right materials is all it takes to create a homemade wreath.

With three weeks to go before Christmas arrives, you should: • Decide on a table setting and ensure you have enough seating room for all of your guests (rent chairs or ask your invitees to bring their own, if needed) • Prepare games and music to entertain your guests • Stock up on wine and spirits • Buy the last of your Christmas gifts

For the health-conscious Reward the health-conscious family member or loved one for taking care of themselves with a gift that enhances their healthy lifestyle. If they already seem to have everything needed for a beneficial routine, finding the right item may seem daunting.

Whether your recipient is already living with wellness in mind or is committed to begin a journey into better fitness, these holiday gift ideas are sure to serve as exceptional motivation.

Workout Clothes

An aspect of performing physical exercise is to be comfortable during the process.

While people may have different preferences regarding what they wear during their workouts, look for clothes that offer breathability,

lightweight fabric and safety features like reflective patches.

If your loved one is the type who prefers to try their outfits before making a purchase, you can always buy them a gift card for their local sport’s attire store. This is often the best option if you are unsure of their size or are picky about clothing.

Mobile Equipment

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four Americans sits for more than eight hours per day. If their work allows, consider buying them an exercise bike that fits inconspicuously underneath a desk. Find an option that allows for varying resistance settings so they can customize the workout.

Another easy-to-pack idea is a mobile yoga mat. For those constantly on the move, it’s an efficient tool to inspire a workout that motivates breathing exercises and meditation while they are away from their familiar surroundings.

Gym Membership

Someone who frequents their local gym will always appreciate a break from their regular membership fees. Find out where your health-conscious recipient works out and meet with an employee to take care of their monthly or annual expenses.

You may be eligible for discounts if you cover the costs for multiple people or sign-up yourself. One of the best gifts for a recipient who is just starting their life to better health is having a workout buddy to accompany them.

Various Strengths

Divinity is a marshmallow-like vanilla confection that is a fluffy white cloud of deliciousness. It’s often dotted with dried fruit or nuts, usually pecans or walnuts.

It originated in the early 1900s in the U.S. and is popular in the South.

These treats are really sensitive

to humidity, which may also lead to its popularity at Christmas, when humidity tends to be lower in the South. Higher humidity means the candy won’t set properly and will stay sticky and gooey. Properly done, divinity should be soft and dry to the touch.

Divinity

Recipe is from Betty Crocker 2 2/3 cups sugar 2/3 cup light corn syrup 2 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla 2/3 cup coarsely chopped nuts 1. Cook sugar, corn syrup and water (if it’s humid, reduce water by a tablespoon) in a two-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the candy reaches 260 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape while remaining pliable.

3. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed.

For the best results, you’ll need an electric stand mixer and a ceramic or glass bowl, not metal.

Add the vanilla and continue to beat until it holds its shape

and becomes slightly dull. It may become too stiff for the mixer.

4. Gently fold in nuts, then drop from a buttered spoon onto wax paper or nonstick foil.

Work quickly; the candy starts to set up fast. Let stand at room temperature for at least 12 hours, turning candies once, until they feel firm. Store in an airtight container.

Tip: For an added boost of flavor, lightly toast the nuts before adding them to the candy. If folding in the nuts is too difficult, consider scooping the candy out and topping each piece with a whole pecan or pressing chopped walnuts into the surface of the candy.

4 tips to simplify 12 Days to Save cooking for a crowd Before Christmas this holiday season

Families big and small typically celebrate the holiday season together.

For some, celebrating the holidays with family requires traveling, while others stay put and welcome family and friends into their homes.

At some point during the holiday season, celebrants who host family and friends will no doubt prepare a homecooked meal for their loved ones. Cooking for a crowd can seem like a daunting task, especially for first-time hosts. However, there are various ways for hosts to simplify cooking for a crowd this holiday season.

1. Prepare a familiar dish

Hosts may agonize over their holiday menus, and some may feel compelled to prepare a family specialty or the same dishes their parents or grandparents prepared for holiday dinners when they were children. But holiday hosts can make things easy on themselves by choosing dishes they’ve made in the past, regardless of their place in family history. Chances are the ingredients for hosts’ own specialties are already in the pantry, saving a potentially time-consuming trip to the grocery store. And thanks to the familiarity factor, hosts’ own specialties likely won’t require as much time to prepare.

2. Share some cooking duties

Another way to simplify cooking for a crowd is to invite guests to bring along a side dish or dessert. Guests who live nearby can make something in advance of the big meal, while hosts can hand over their kitchens to overnight guests who express a willingness to contribute their own homecooked dish to the party. Sharing the cooking duties gives hosts more time to connect with friends and family and serves as a great way to plan the menu in advance.

3. Only make what guests are likely to eat

Hosts also should not feel pressured to cook more food than is necessary.

Holiday meals have a tendency to be lavish, but hosts don’t have to spend all day in the kitchen preparing food that will likely end up as leftovers or trash. Get a final headcount in the days before everyone comes over and adjust your recipes accordingly.

4. Start early

If the big meal is on Christmas Day, that does not mean hosts have to start cooking while everyone unwraps their presents. Hosts who are uncertain about what to cook can look for meals that can be prepared in advance so come the big day all they need to do is turn on the oven.

Support artisans and eateries Small businesses across America have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As shopping restrictions have been put in place across the country, local businesses have found themselves getting creative in selling their goods.

One of the best ways you can support your local business community is by purchasing items from local artisans and restaurants.

Support local artisans

Some of the most talented people in your community are artisans creating handmade — or even customized — gifts for people on your shopping list.

You may find artisans partnering with local businesses

GIFTS

to sell their products at a storefront versus opening up their own display space. When you shop locally, you give these artisans the exposure and financial support they need to grow their business.

Support local restaurants and food trucks

Can’t decide what to eat this weekend? Search your local newspaper or Facebook restaurant groups to find great local options versus settling for chain establishments.

Local food trucks are also an option for enjoying unique cuisine while also supporting small business owners in your community.

These businesses have seen an uptick in business due to their flexibility in being able to set up at various sites.

Keep your eye out on social media

for where food trucks are setting up during the holiday shopping season, and show your support by buying your meals locally.

Customer service

What can you expect when you shop with local artisans and restaurants? Great customer service, for one. Many shoppers complain about customer service at the big chain stores during the holidays due to retail employees often being stretched too thin in their work schedules.

With local businesses, you can expect personalized customer service along with the unique food or items you’ll find. That’s because great customer service is the lifeblood of a small business owner.

They are depending on referral business from you and your community members. Many times, small business owners are able to craft and personalize products for their customers. This level of customization is another aspect of great customer service that is so critical for small businesses to deliver.

People to tip and gift this holiday season Are you making a list and checking it twice? If so, don’t forget to add a few extra people to that list who are worthy of a gift this holiday season. Certainly friends and family are in mind for presents, but what about the service providers in your life?

After a challenging year, people in the service industry might benefit from a holiday boost this year more than ever. Here’s who you may want to spread some cheer to this holiday season.

Hairdressers and nail techs

It takes a lot of effort to look one’s best, and these individuals help people put their best selves forward. Consider tipping the amount you would normally spend on one visit. If you get your hair or nails done frequently and consider this person a friend, opt for a gift instead, such as a gift card to a nice restaurant or a pampering service for him or her.

Babysitter or caregiver

This person is likely close with the family and may be deserving of more than a tip. Pick an age-

appropriate gift you know this person will love. What about a coveted pair of Bluetoothenabled earbuds or headphones?

A gift card to a store you know this person frequents also can be fitting, or a year-long subscription to a streaming music or movie service.

Landscapers

If the same person or crew services the lawn most of the time, a tip of $20 each is an appropriate amount.

Teachers

Class parents may take up a collection for the teacher and offer one class gift. If your student is educated by multiple teachers and the school staff is top-notch, consider stocking the staff lounge with snacks and beverages or cater a lunch.

Mail carrier

The mail is delivered six days of the week in any and all weather.

Treat your mail carrier to a nice gift, but stick to the rules of the U.S. Postal Service. Mail carriers

are not allowed to accept cash, checks or gift cards that can be used like credit cards. Stick to a gift of no more than $25.

Cleaning person

You rely on this person to keep your home tidy and clean. He or she is deserving of the cost of

one visit, according to Roseanne Thomas, author of “Excuse Me: The Survival Guide to Modern Business Etiquette.”

Individuals can use their discretion concerning service providers in their lives who may be worthy of some extra cheer this holiday season.

Tips for baking better Christmas cookies Cookies and other baked treats are everywhere come the holiday season. It’s not uncommon to give cookies as gifts or arrive at holiday gatherings with cakes and other decadent desserts.

Cookies are a classic holiday treat, and some families even build entire traditions around baking Christmas cookies.

Novice bakers making cookies for the first time may be a little overwhelmed when perusing recipes. Baking is a science, and sometimes it takes practice to get the results just right. However, there are some tips that can help yield better, buttery bounties.

Handle butter with care

Butter can make or break a cookie recipe, as butter is often the glue that holds the cookie together. Therefore, it is key to follow the directions carefully regarding how to handle butter.

Smithsonian.com says to leave butter at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to properly soften it. This takes patience, but fiddling with butter too much can damage its delectable

integrity. While purists may say butter is best, margarine may be acceptable if it has a high fat content; otherwise, cookies may spread out and flatten.

When it comes time to cream the butter with sugar, be sure to do so thoroughly to incorporate air into the butter and remove the grainy texture of the sugar.

Measure flour properly

Measuring flour the right way can ensure cookies come out right. The Cooking Channel says to spoon the flour lightly into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Do not dip the measuring cup into the flour or tap the knife against the cup. This will pack too much flour into the measuring cup and result in dry, tough cookies.

Slow down the eggs

Add eggs one at a time to make sure each will emulsify properly with the fat in the butter. Adding eggs en masse may cause the emulsification to fail.

Chill out

Follow recipes that call for chilling cookie dough carefully.

This process is important for making sliced and shaped cookies. By chilling, the dough becomes more malleable for rolling and even slicing.

Use a bottom rack

Too much heat may compromise cookie integrity. The food experts at Delish say to try moving cookies onto a lower rack in the oven if they aren’t retaining their shape when baked. Put an empty cookie sheet on the top rack. That will block the cookies from the most intense heat that rises to the top of the oven.

Mastering cookies takes a little patience and some trial and error. Once bakers get their feet wet, Christmascookie-baking becomes even more special.

Simple ways to prolong the life of poinsettias

United States Minister to Mexico, brought the red-and-green plant back with him from a trip abroad.

While millions of poinsettias will be purchased for the holiday season, many mistakenly think their utility ends once New Year’s Day has come and gone. But with proper care poinsettia plants can continue to thrive and bring warmth and beauty to a home long after the holiday decorations have been tucked away.

Choose a hearty plant

Experts with the University of Vermont Extension Department of Plant and Soil Science say that many people mistake the plant’s leaves for its flowers. The red, white or pink bracts are actually modified leaves.

The flowers of the plant are the yellow clustered buds in the center called “cyathia.” Choose poinsettia plants that have buds which are, ideally, not yet open.

Poinsettias and their rich red, white or variegated color schemes are the ideal backdrop for Christmas celebrations. In fact, poinsettias are among the most popular decorative flowers during the holiday season.

According to the 2013 USDA Floriculture Statistics report,

poinsettias accounted for about onequarter (23%) of all flowering potted plant sales that year. Roughly 34 million poinsettia plants are sold in a given season. Indigenous to Central America, the plant was introduced to North America in the 1820s when Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first

Keep the temperature consistent

Poinsettias prefer a room temperature between 60 and 68 F during the day and 10 degrees cooler at night. Humidity levels between 20 and 50% are ideal. Group plants on water-filled trays full of pebbles to help increase humidity levels.

Place near sunlight

The United Kingdom-based Perrywood floral company advises placing poinsettia plants near a bright windowsill but not in direct sunlight. Do not let a poinsettia touch cold window panes.

Avoid drafts

The plants are sensitive to drafts and changes in temperature. So it’s best to keep poinsettias away from drafty doors, windows, radiators, or fireplaces.

Don’t drown the roots

Wait until the surface of the compost dries out before watering the plant anew. Also, the decorative foil wrapper that covers pots can trap water and lead to root rot. Remove it or poke holes in the bottom to allow for drainage.

Cut back plants

Come mid-March, cut back the plant by half to encourage new shoots, suggests the University of Illinois Extension. The plants also can be placed outside in the spring after the risk of frost has passed.

Bring poinsettias back in around mid-September to early October to force them to bloom again.

Gifting those who live far away People move away for many reasons, including access to better jobs, a lower cost of living, mandatory job relocation, or to attend school. Some people enjoy seeing the world and make frequent travel part of their lifestyles.

Distant friends and family members may be out of sight but certainly not out of mind come the holidays. Even though not everyone can get together for Christmas dinner or to light the Chanukah menorah, there are ways to show those special people across the country — or around the world — just how much they are appreciated.

Although video chatting, texting and email can make it easier to stay in touch, distance can make sharing the holidays and gifts a bit more challenging.

However, these gifting ideas and tips can make easy

work out of sending holiday cheer across the globe.

Food

Food can be a one-size-fits all gift. Exploring the offerings of food gifts, one will quickly find there are all types of options. If a recipient is living overseas or on the opposite side of the country, gift a favorite local food from his or her hometown. Cookie or fruit bouquets can be shipped and are

universally enjoyed gifts. Treat towers, popcorn, cheeses, and much more are available for holiday giving.

Consider size

Large, heavy items will cost more to ship. Therefore, small gifts may be more practical.

Consult with the post office or a preferred shipping provider about their pricing. Otherwise, consider shipping directly to a loved one’s house. Online retailers usually give shoppers a choice of shipping address, and free or low-cost shipping may be included.

Leave ample time for delivery

The holiday season is a busy time of year for the shipping industry. While shipping companies try their best to get items to recipients in a timely manner, delays can occur. The best way to ensure that gifts arrive

on time is to send them a week or two in advance, which also saves gift-givers from having to pay extra for rush shipping. The US Postal Service says international deliveries can take between seven and 21 days to arrive, so leave more time for overseas gifts.

Try a subscription service

Subscription services, such as beauty boxes, recipe boxes and meal kits, can be a great way to keep the gifts arriving long after the holidays have come and gone.

Avoid breakables

Stick to gifts that will ship well; otherwise, you may have to spend extra time and money wrapping and insuring items. Clothing gifts, blankets, stuffed animals, books, and other durable gifts can be shipped with ease and peace of mind.

Gifting loved ones who live far away requires a little extra effort.

But that extra effort will show friends and family members just how much they’re loved.

Keep safety in mind when decorating for the holidays Decorations help make the holiday season a magical time of year. Stores are awash in color and twinkling lights, and similar imagery is on display in private homes.

Designing holiday displays can be a great way for families to spend time together and kick off the celebration. In fact, according to Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), around 90% of Americans decorate their homes for the holidays.

When trimming the tree and decorating this holiday season, families must keep safety in mind. A little planning and some

precautionary measures can ensure displays are enjoyed all season long. Travelers Insurance offers the following holiday decorating safety tips.

• Do not overload outlets. Plan displays according to the number and location of available outlets.

• Never exceed the maximum number of light strands that can be attached together.

• Use lights and products that have been tested for safety.

Certification marks like UL, ETL and CSA are from nationally recognized laboratories.

• LED lights should be used whenever possible. Such lights

consume less energy and run cooler than other bulbs.

• The ESFI says candles start almost 50% of all decoration fires. Minimize the risk by using candles only when they can be monitored. Artificial candles can be used in place of real candles.

• Check for freshness in live trees. A fresh tree will last longer and is less of a fire hazard than an old tree.

• Place Christmas trees at least three feet away from all heat sources, including fireplaces and heaters.

• Use decorations that are noncombustible or made from flameresistant materials.

• Pay attention to the age recommendations of decorations to see if they can be used in homes with young children. Some items, however common, are choking or strangulation hazards.

Week 4, Page 13B

• Avoid putting small, “mouthsized” decorations near the ground or on lower limbs of trees, where young children can easily reach them.

• Exercise caution when hanging decorations at high heights. Make sure the ladder is secured and have a spotter who can hold the ladder and pass items up safely.

• Outdoor electric lights and decorations should be plugged into circuits protected by ground fault circuit interrupters, or GFCIs. • Exercise caution when decorating near power lines that extend to the house.

• Keep hung stockings far away from open flames so they do not catch any errant embers.

These are just a few suggestions for decorating a safely for the holiday season.

Start new caroling traditions

Caroling is a symbol of community that once was a wildly popular holiday tradition but has largely fallen by the wayside.

According to the Pew Research Center, about 16 percent of Americans reported caroling in 2017. However, this once-beloved tradition can be brought back with vigor.

History of caroling

Caroling evolved from the practice of wassailing. The word “wassail” is derived from the Old Norse phrase “ves heill,” which translates to “be well and in good health.” As early as the 13th century, people in England would travel between houses to go wassailing and wish their neighbors well during the winter months. In some places, the word “wassail” referred to a hot and thick spiced beverage given to travelers to help them stay warm. It is the precursor to modern-day mulled wines, cider and eggnog.

Caroling largely remained separate from Christmas until Saint Francis of Assisi incorporated similar well wishes and songs into his Christmas services. Music was embraced as part of liturgical services during the holiday season.

Caroling today

Many caroling sessions now take place inside of churches or schools as part of choral performances.

However, with social distancing limitations in place, it may be the ideal time to once again implement door-to-door caroling. This can help bring cheer to people who

may be missing loved ones who can’t travel, and may even buoy the spirits of those who have been spending more time alone in their homes.

These tips can make caroling more successful.

• Find someone with some musical knowledge to guide the group. While everyone needn’t be the next star singer, it helps if one person can help keep the group in time and in tune.

• Choose familiar songs. Select a body of music that is familiar to all. Songs such as “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World,” “Deck the Halls,” and “The 12 Days of Christmas” are easily recognizable.

The more familiar the song, the easier it is for carolers to follow the tune. Have roughly 10 songs and rotate as needed when visiting homes.

• Map out your course. Caroling can take place over several days as carolers visit various parts of their communities. A caroling session may last about an hour or two.

• Dress for weather. Layer clothing and agree on some festive trimmings that unite the caroling group. Wear comfortable shoes for walking.

• Advertise your intentions. Let others know that carolers will be stopping by on particular dates so they can come out on their front porches or doorsteps. Follow social distancing guidelines if necessary and urge spectators to avoid congregating too closely in one place.

Caroling is a great way to enjoy the holiday season responsibly.

How to host virtual holiday celebrations

The 2020 holiday season figures to be vastly different than seasons past. The novel coronavirus COVID-19 has transformed daily life in many ways. The public has become accustomed to wearing masks while shopping, limiting the number of people in public venues and keeping their distance from friends and loved ones. Many events have been reimagined as virtual celebrations because of social distancing protocols. For those with large families or people with inherent risk factors that make them more susceptible to illness, sharing the holidays over video conferencing apps may be the safest way to go in 2020.

The following tips can help holiday hosts make the most of a virtual holiday experience.

Pick a bright, festive spot

Set up your tablet, smartphone or computer in a bright area with a festive backdrop. You’ll

want others who join the virtual hangout to be able to see you clearly. A Christmas tree or a decorated fireplace in the background can set the scene.

Keep props nearby

If the goal is to open gifts virtually, be sure to have everyone gathered and gifts nearby so no one is scrambling in and out of view.

Position the camera at eye level

Choose the right conferencing app

Certain programs may work better than others depending on your needs. For example, if everyone has the same operating system platform (iOS or Android), you may be able to use an app inherent to that system, which

Try to set up the camera so you’re not looking up or down.

Practice looking straight into the camera instead of at yourself in the minimized window or even others on the screen. This way you’ll appear engaged.

Use mute when not speaking

Muting yourself (and encouraging others to do the same) when you are not speaking will limit the amount

of background noise. As the host, serve as the moderator and encourage everyone to speak one at a time. Choose a visual cue to signal when someone has the floor to speak, such as raising a hand or even showing a festive picture.

Tune into virtual worship

While some places of worship have reopened to some capacity, others may still be offering hybrid services. If your place of worship offers services via YouTube or another video platform, gather around and watch together and participate just as if you were there in person. Better yet, share the link with other family and friends so they can tune in as well.

Share dinner ‘together’

Set up your camera source so it captures the holiday table. All parties gathering virtually can then sit down to the holiday meal as one and enjoy one of the season’s more endearing traditions.

Virtual celebrations may continue through the holiday season. Adapting with some video conferencing tips can ensure everyone enjoys the festivities.

What are some of the advantages of opening a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

A HELOC is an open credit line that is secured by the paid value of the borrower’s home. Homeowners can generally open a HELOC with up to 85% of their home’s equity, or the difference between what’s left on their home loan and the current value of it.

HELOCs have a “draw” period, during which the borrower can access the available funds, ranging from 5-10 years. When the draw period ends, the loan will have to be repaid, either immediately or within the next 15-20 years.

Once approved for a HELOC, borrowers can spend the funds however they choose. Here are some of the advantages of a HELOC: Only borrow what’s needed. A HELOC does not give borrowers a lump sum of cash. Instead, it offers a homeowner the freedom to withdraw funds from the line of credit as needed.

Qualify for a low rate. Interest rates continue to hover at all-time lows. Opening a HELOC now means qualifying for low interest rates on the line of credit.

Flexible terms. Terms and repayment plans for HELOCs are generally flexible. Many lenders only require borrowers to make payments toward interest during the draw period. Once that time is over, the borrower must pay back the entire principal immediately, or over the course of 15-20 years.

Potential tax benefits. As per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the interest paid on home equity loans and lines of credit is tax-deductible if the funds are used to buy, build or substantially improve the home of the taxpayer who is securing the loan.

Build a credit score. There’s no need for an excellent credit score to qualify for a HELOC, and on-time monthly payments can boost a homeowner’s score.

Low fees. A HELOC costs little or nothing to establish. Annual fees are also low — usually less than $100.

Call Bryan at Highmark Credit Union to learn how a HELOC could benefit you!
