HAPPENINGS BY KEN WILSON
The Halloween candy’s almost gone, the costumes are packed away, and the porch pumpkins are giving way to lawn displays. It’s catalog season – no wait, it’s holiday season, the time of year when Thanksgiving is followed in rapid succession by Hanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa, when amid the feasting, shopping, noshing and partying we celebrate faith, friends, and family. Religious and secular, traditional and spontaneous – Central Virginia holiday celebrations of all types begin this week.

Blessing Of The Hounds Grace Episcopal Church in Keswick kicks off the season at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving – Thursday, November 27 – with its annual Blessing Of The Hounds, a centuries-old tradition imported from the mother country. The brief, thanksgiving ceremony (which will precede a fox hunt) will include hymn singing and prayers for the horses, hunters, hounds and foxes. Expect about a thousand people. Humans of all ages are welcome; pets are not. Cider and donuts will be served, and an offering will be taken for two charities that work with animals. The annual blessing “has been going at Grace for about a hundred years,” says Father Miles Smith. “It’s done at a few other locations on the East Coast, but still it’s fairly uncommon. It’s about being aware of the gift of nature and creation, and being thankful for all of that. The hunters

are there in their full regalia on their horses, so it’s blessing them in their form of recreation. It’s calling us to be mindful, in whatever we’re doing, of God’s presence.”
Fun Runs Two 5K fun runs will take place Thanksgiving morning, prior to the big meal. The Earlysville 5k Turkey Trot at 8:30 a.m. will benefit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Walkers are welcome to take part in the festivities, and strollers are welcome at the back of the pack. Dogs are not allowed. Young runners can participate in the Free Half Mile Kids Run at 9:00 a.m. The runs will be held at 600 Earlysville Forest Drive, Earlysville, at the three-way intersection of Earlysville Road, Reas Ford Road and Earlysville Forest Drive. At 9:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving, The Boar’s Head Inn will hold a 5K Turkey Trot to raise money for the UVA Children’s Hospital. All ages are welcome. There are 1400 spots available, but none for pets. Reservations are required.
At 9:30 a.m. on Friday November 28, the Barracks Road Annual Holiday Parade at Barracks Road Shopping Center will feature costumed characters, antique cars, live animals, colorful floats, local celebrities, and marching bands. The parade has been a Charlottesville tradition for over 40 years.
Grand Illumination Down on the Downtown Mall on Friday, November 28 at 5:00 p.m., the City of Charlottesville and the Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville will sponsor Charlottesville’s Grand Illumination, the annual lighting of the community’s Christmas tree at Central Place, and lights along the Mall. Children’s activities will take place from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Charlottesville Holiday Market Saturdays through December 20, from 8:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m., the Charlottesville City Market at the corner of Water & South St. parking lot will be transformed into the Charlottesville Holiday Market, with
more than 100 vendors selling handmade items including gifts, wreaths and decorations, pottery, jewelry, and home baked goods. As always, hungry browsers will find food trucks selling Mexican tacos, Caribbean food, dumplings and more, and local beef, chicken and turkey will be available to take home. There may even still be fruit and veggies. “We’ll have produce as long as we have produce,” says Market Manager Stephanie Anderegg-Maloy hopefully. “I talked to some farmers last week and they have been picking and putting produce in the greenhouses to preserve it. I have vendors who pick green tomatoes and put them in the greenhouse and hope that they will ripen. It’s likely that we will have produce in December.” For sure there will be singing. Among the caroling choirs already signed up this year are DMR Adventures, Western Albemarle Varsity and Henley Jazz Singers.
Monticello Monticello will hold its Second Annual Free Holiday Open House on Sunday, November 30 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Thomas Jefferson (Bill Barker) himself hosting, and live music in the parlor.

Gingerbread in its modern form dates back to Medieval Europe. Gingerbread houses date back to the 13th century, and were so popular that professional gingerbread bakers had their own guild. If Thomas Jefferson ever made a gingerbread house, the result has been lost to history, but it’s fun to imagine the guy who wrote that ““Architecture is my delight, and putting up and pulling down, one of my favorite amusements” trying his hand at it.

Heating efficiently “I clean all my registers and change all the air filters twice a year at minimum,” says Greenfield. It’s also good to check that registers haven’t become blocked by rugs, furniture, or toys. It’s a good idea to have your heating system serviced annually. If it’s more than 15 years old, you might want to consider upgrading to more efficient equipment or a different fuel source. In

efore the weather outside grows truly frightful, here are some tips on how you can protect your home from the harsh winter days and nights and save money in the process.
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
Keeping the cold air out
“A few hours of your time can make a big difference in your monthly utility bills,” declares REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, Principal Broker for Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties and a Certified Home Performance Specialist. Take time to check the insulation in your attic to keep heat from escaping. If you have a whole-house fan, lay a lightweight batten of insulation over it. A “door” that many people overlook is attic access and Greenfield says she used rigid foam board insulation to protect her removable panel. If the access is pull-down folding stairs, it’s a little more complicated, but the Internet provides some good directions for insulating that space. Doors and windows also have great potential to let cold air in, Greenfield says, so she uses a candle to check for leaks—watching for flickering flame. You can also have someone outside
of sofas and chairs. Cover the bare floor with throw rugs. Bake or cook first thing in the morning to use the heat of the oven and stove and add the aroma of good things to the house. Keep your home’s humidity between 25-40 percent. When it’s drier, you’ll feel the chill more. Use a folding rack to dry items after washing. The evaporation will add humidity. If you have a wood or pellet stove, have a kettle of water on top to add humidity (and make your tea.) Finally warm yourself. Use flannel bedding. Wear a sweater or a fleece vest. Keep your feet comfy with a pair of truly toasty slippers. Warm a bag of rice in the microwave for a surprisingly effective foot warmer. The bottom line is all about the bottom line. Winterizing can help lower your utility bills now and if you list your house, showing low utility bills can be a great selling point. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville in Albemarle County. They’re ready for winter with a seasoned woodpile, a big pot for making soup, and SmartWool® socks.

move a bright light around the sides of windows and doors while you watch from inside. Putty caulk and rope caulk are easy to use to seal cracks. Weather stripping is your next step. It comes in a variety of easy-to-install styles from foam with sticky backing to traditional bronze. A “sweep” that attaches to the bottom of your door will deflect cold air sneaking in. “I love the door sweep on the basement door,” Greenfield says. “It was a huge game changer.” Remember, the sun is your ally in winter. When it’s not shining in your window, close your blinds or drapes to keep the warm air inside. In particularly cold weather, temporarily tack up a heavy beach towel or small blanket. Insulating blinds are not cheap, but consider supplying one room at a time until your house is completely furnished. For single-pane windows, plastic film can provide inexpensive—if not durable insulation. It comes in kits, can be applied with tape or in some cases a hair dryer to shrink into place,
our area, heat pumps are effective except in the very coldest weather. Installation of some systems such as geothermal heat pumps may qualify for a Federal tax credit of as much as 30 percent. You’ll see ads for duct cleaning, but they don’t make much difference in efficient heating. On the other hand, duct sealing can be an excellent way to save. As much as 25 – 40 percent of heated air in winter (and cooled air in summer) is lost from ducts before reaching its destination. Securing ducts can make a big difference. If you use a woodstove or pellet stove as your main heat source or for auxiliary heat, lay in a good supply of fuel, being sure any wood is well seasoned. And be sure to call a chimney sweep to clean and inspect your chimney.
Being cozy Keeping yourself warm can also reduce your heating bill. And sometimes it can just be an illusion. Toss a woolly afghan or fleecy throw over the backs
