Merry Christmas SETTING A GOAL…
A goal that has a real impact! This year, I have decided that I am giving the gift of LOCAL, exclusively. Everything I purchase this year will be locally made, locally grown or locally produced. Not only is this a goal that is easy to achieve but it is kind of like the gift that keeps on giving. When you spend your money locally, it stays local. Locally owned businesses “recycle” a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching our whole community. Local merchants select and sell products based on the needs and interests of their local customers and this will continue to guarantee us a much broader range of product choices, & we ALL love to have as many choices as possible! Locally owned businesses create
jobs and in many cases, provide better wages and benefits than the large stores. So you see…when you shop local, eat local and drink local, everyone wins! So, I extend my challenge to you - let’s all try to have a LOCAL Christmas. I am encouraging you to source as many of your gifts as you can locally. Go out and meet the local shopkeepers, you will have a blast! Don’t forget about your food too! You can easily source a delicious Christmas dinner within the confines of Langley. And while you are at it, pick up some local wine or local beer! Staying close to home has never tasted this good or been this much fun!

BRING ON THAT
Sentimental FEELING
Written by KRISTYL CLARK. Photographed by DAN FERGUSON. Staging by SANDRA CRAIG of DeZigns by Gallery 1
While most were still hanging up their Halloween decorations, Sandra Craig was busy trimming her trees and turning her home into an enchanting winter wonderland.
was a white Christmas sitting on it.”
Just about every nook and cranny on the main floor of her Cloverdale abode embodies the Christmas spirit and evokes that sentimental feeling of simpler times.
But even in all the glistening white glory, there are few eclectic pieces that steal the spotlight.
Let’s just say that if Scrooge, himself, were to visit, he’d have one heck of a time not letting his heart be merry and light. And if you think October is early to start prepping for the holiday season, imagine plotting one’s festive decor scheme during the dog days of summer? It may sound way too early for most, but in Craig’s case, it’s recipe that works. Every year, Craig chooses a theme – one that’s never based on forecasted decor trends. Sometimes it’s an image that pops into her head and simply won’t go away, and other times – like this particular year – it’s a single item that acts as her muse. The second you walk through her front door, you’ll know Craig has been dreaming of a white Christmas – a dream she brought to life. “It was an area rug that inspired me this time,” laughed Craig of her decision to decorate in pristine, crisp white. “When I saw that carpet, all I could see 5
From the pristine table linens and garland to the white Christmas trees, there’s an immense calming effect upon stepping inside – comparable to that first snow fall.
Take for instance the sousaphone by the front door. Adorned with branches, little white lights and garland, it’s more than just a piece of holiday eye candy. For Craig, the instrument serves as a reminder about the true meaning of Christmas. “This was sitting in my mom and dad’s basement for years,” she said. “My grandfather had played in a marching band back in 1932 – there’s just something
special about seeing it whenever I walk in the front door... this time of year you have to forget all the commercialism, the presents and make it something more meaningful.” The string instrument isn’t the only makeshift decor that tugs at Craig’s heart strings, she says. “On the table I always have dishes from mother, mom’s mother, great grandmother and my ex mother in law – so, when I sit there it reminds me of them.” A knack of seamlessly blending the old world with the new is just one of the many talents that Craig possesses. She is also savvy when it comes to making a big impact without breaking the bank – a skill she utilises for both herself and her clients. Looking around her picture-perfect home, one would guess she’s spent thousands on holiday decor –simply not true. Craig estimates she’s spent $700 in total over the years. “You really don’t have to spend a lot of money,” she said, while leading the way to her formal dining room. Christmas dinner is still a month away, however, Craig’s table is a feast of visual splendor. “It’s all about creating the anticipation... anyone who sits here is going to wonder what’s coming up for dinner –
continued on page 6 2014
it’s a real emotion that involves all the senses, including texture and smell.” At first glance, Craig’s table linens look like they cost a small fortune, but the thrifty designer is quick to share her juicy little secret. “This is just a basic white table cloth that you can use throughout the year – your linens don’t have to scream Christmas,” she said “The cloth may have cost me $10 and it gets a lot of use. It’s important to find items you can keep reusing. I like to start with something plain and ad something to it to make it feel more festive.” The art of recycling and reusing decor and statement pieces from around one’s house is something Craig loves sharing with her clients. “I’m always so amazed by all the stuff I find at people’s houses – stuff they didn’t realize they could use in their holiday decor,” she said. “It’s just a matter of putting those pieces together.” Trends come and go every season, but the sentiment of the holiday season always stays the same – as does’ Craig’s mantra. “Don’t keep to what’s in style – it’s about what makes you smile... what makes your heart go wow when you walk into a room.”

ACCOMMODATING
Special DIETARY NEEDS
Extra effort accommodating special dietary needs can be a breeze if you plan ahead!
Gluten-free, Dairy-free, nut-free, wheat-free, vegetarian, vegan… it can be quite daunting!
This Christmas season, don’t be caught off guard with guests who have food allergies, sensitivities or any number of the special dietary needs that are so prevalent these days. Dairyfree, nut-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, vegetarian, vegan…..it can be quite daunting! Some of these needs are based around personal choices and others are medically necessary. Whatever the reason, you’ll want to make sure all your guests are happy, healthy, wellfed and satisfied. To that end, here are a few tips to make this fun and easy, not to mention delicious. First and most importantly, talk to your guests. Ask them about any special dietary needs or restrictions. If you plan to send out invitations, include a note requesting an “RSVP with dietary restrictions, please.” If talking to your guests in person or over the phone, be sure to let them know ahead of time that you haven’t set your menu and would like to know if they have any special requests. This simple step can save you a lot 2014
of last minute scrambling. It is such a relief for a guest to fully enjoy a meal without feeling like a burden and without leaving hungry. Once you know what to expect, it’s time to plan your menu, bearing in mind a few helpful tips: To make easy vegetarian changes, use vegetable broth in place of chicken, beef or turkey broth when cooking. For gluten-free cooking, choose from a variety of stuffing mixes or recipes that rely on gluten-free grains such as corn and/or rice. For non-dairy menu changes, baking and cooking with one of the many popular soy, almond, hemp or coconut milks, can work well. Be sure to also have a non-dairy option for sour cream, ice cream or whipped cream if need be. Most supermarkets are carrying a great assortment of choices. Some allergic reactions can be life-threatening. If you have a guest with a serious allergy, it’s critical to think through all aspects of your cooking and ask them to help you! They will really appreciate that you are taking it seriously and will be pleased to pitch in! Cross contamination can pose a serious problem for highly allergic people, especially when it comes to foods such as peanuts, gluten, shellfish and tree nuts. This means if you chop nuts on your cutting board for one recipe and then use the same cutting board to chop celery for another recipe without washing it, your celery recipe is not truly nut-free and can pres-

The same goes for stirring spoons, serving utensils, blenders, food processors, etc. Be sure to understand the severity of your guests sensitivity and in the case of peanuts & shellfish allergies you may want to leave those items off the menu entirely to avoid any concerns at all. Be conscious and vigilant in looking for hidden ingredients. Thickening gravy with flour may be so automatic that you don’t stop to think that your flour contains gluten. There are some really great options for alternate thickeners if you look for them and read ALL of the labels. Always check the labels on any pre-packaged foods. There may be “hidden” ingredients such as nuts, dairy products or gluten, take a minute or two to be sure.

A Brookswood Christmas Make Your Holiday Party
Reservations Now!
Consider serving your holiday meal buffet style. This helps keep each food item separate. Buffet-style meals are ideal for setting out small place-cards that include the name of the dish and the ingredient listing if necessary. All of your guests will appreciate you taking the time to identify the dishes so they know which recipe they want to ask you for at the end of the evening. Remember, not all of your dishes need to meet everyone’s requirements. Serving at least one protein choice with a couple of side options is fine. For example, if you are serving turkey and ham, add a legume, lentil or tofu dish for vegetarians. If you are preparing a traditional bread stuffing, offer corn bread or wild rice stuffing for gluten-free guests. And, if whipped cream is on the dessert menu, have a second option of a non-dairy whipped topping as well.

When you ditch the turkey, Christmas dinner can be as varied as your imagination.
The word Vegan strikes fear in the heart of home cooks everywhere! We all have atleast one vegan friend and we joke that they would just be so much more fun of they only ate cheese, butter, bacon or honey! Cook-
ing for vegans doesn’t have to be terrifying or even require a special level of skill. It will require some creativity and some extra time in the product aisle. Everyone will enjoy a vegan meal and most, won’t even know they are eating one! When preparing a vegan meal, balance

should be the goal. A mixture of textures, flavors, temperatures and nutrients is important. A sprinkle of toasted nuts or fresh herbs can turn a good dish into a great one. If something is too spicy, temper it with a little sweetness (agave is great, no honey or refined sugar for vegans please!).

First, prepare your pastry. On a well-floured surface, roll out the pastry and cut it into several rectangles. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush the pastry pieces lightly with oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside. Heat the oven to 400°F

puffed up and golden brown.
To make the pie filling, melt the butter with the oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced mushrooms, minced garlic and sliced shallots. Fry over a medium-low heat for 5 minutes, and then add the chopped chestnuts. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mushrooms and onions are soft.
While the pastry is cooking, add a good the wine and thyme to the mushroom mixture, and cook for a couple of minutes until most of the wine has evaporated. Add the stock, and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer gently until the mixture has reduced a little. Add the cream and grated gruyère, and mix together. As the cheese melts it should help to form a creamy sauce. Bring the mixture to your desired consistency - add a dash more stock if you’d like it to be thinner, or simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken it up.

Interesting fact about vegans & refined sugar Half of the white table sugar manufactured in North America is cane sugar and the other half is beet sugar. Beet sugar accounts for about 40% of the world’s sugar. Sugar beets, which naturally contain 16 to 18 percent sucrose, grow in temperate climates where the soil is rich and the growing season is about five months long. Thirteen U.S. states currently grow sugar beets. Sugarcane, which contains 12 to 14 percent sucrose, is a tropical grass and is grown in Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana & Texas. The primary distinction between cane sugar and beet sugar, other than being derived from different plants, is the processing method. Unlike beet sugar, cane sugar processing typically takes place at two locations, the sugar mill and the refinery. During the final purification process, cane sugar is filtered through activated carbon (charcoal) which may be of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin. This step is unnecessary for beet sugar and therefore is never done. Over half of the world’s cane refineries use bone char (charcoal made from animal bones) as their activated carbon source. Many vegans prefer to avoid white table sugar altogether rather than chance using a product that was filtered through bone char.

BEER-
Micro beer is apparently the new black! With the rise of craft brewing here in BC, the great variety of spirits available, and creative bartenders looking for new drink ideas, it’s no surprise that beer cocktails are starting to appear on menus all over the region. I will happily raise a glass to some of these tasty combinations! There is SO much fun to be had, no need to wait for a special occasion to start experimenting! These are recipes for some new and some classic combinations.
The Black Velvet 1 part Guinness chilled 1 part brut sparkling wine chilled
Pour the Guinness into a chilled pint glass and let the foam subside. Place a spoon on the inside of the glass, horizontal to the beer, and pour the bubbly over the spoon so as to encourage the wine to float on top of the beer.

SOMETHING ON THE
Side
These are great alternatives to some of the more traditional side dishes. They can be turned into lunch or brunch items as well. The key to a relaxed holiday is always to plan as far ahead as possible and make dishes that you are comfortable with, that are easy and you know will be a big hit with the people at your table.
Brown rice has so much flavor! When combined with toasted nuts & seeds and dried fruit this side dish really adds to the assortment on your Christmas table. Feel free to change it up, make it your own.
Creamed spinach is a classic, steak house staple. A decadent way to get some iron in your diet, creamed spinach isn’t something you are going to want to eat everyday but it does make an incredibly delicious side to serve
Brown Rice Pilaf
with your favorite roast dinner, steak or roasted turkey. You might even convert a spinach hater or two! The freshly grated nutmeg takes this dish from ordinary to extraordinary, actually - nothing compares to fresh nutmeg!
Old School Creamed Spinach 2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and tough stems removed 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup finely chopped shallots 1 teaspoon minced garlic
(vegetarian, gluten/wheat free)
¾ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg ½ cup heavy cream
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Drain into a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a large spoon to release as much water as possible. Finely chop and set aside. Melt the butter in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach & cook, stirring, just until the liquid is released. Add the cream, salt, pepper, & nutmeg, and cook until the cream is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

White Christmas
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten, and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

Merry Christmas
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. When we finally say good night, How I’ll hate going out in the storm; But if you really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing, But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Songbook Frosty THE Snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh And play just the same as you and me. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.” Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all around the square saying, Catch me if you can. He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler “Stop!” For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.” Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, in the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, as we go along, walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He’ll say: Are you married? We’ll say: No man, But you can do the job when you’re in town. Later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made, walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he’s a circus clown We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman, until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain’t it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, walking in a winter wonderland. Walking in a winter wonderland, walking in a winter wonderland.
The Christmas Song
(CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa’s on his way; He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother’s child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I’m offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you

Silver Bells
Christmas makes you feel emotional It may bring parties or thoughts devotional Whatever happens or what may be, Here is what Christmas time means to me. City sidewalk, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. City street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

Rudolph TH E RE D -N O S E D Reindeer Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!
