“The Nutcracker” at Albemarle Ballet Theatre in Crozet Spice up the holiday season with the Nutcracker Suite performed in Albemarle Ballet’s (ABT) intimate theater in Downtown Crozet, December 5, 6, 12 and 13. Proceeds from this show support Studio for the Performing Arts (SFTPA) need-based scholarship program, Dancing Off the Streets™ - more than $90K in scholarships provided to more than sixty local children since 2005. After the Christmas party, Clara falls into a magical dream with the nutcracker she receives as a gift. The Sugar Plum Fairy takes Clara to the Land of Sweets where the Arabian, Ballerina Doll, Chinese, Gypsy, Mirliton, Harlequin Dolls, Russian, Soldiers Doll, Snow Queen and Spanish dancers entertain both her and you.
Local dancers adorned in handmade, gilded satin, silk and velvet costumes perform captivating choreography. The show closes with a sweet surprise for you. Afterwards, meet and take photos with the dancers under the theatre lights. Performers include ABT dance students and guest artist, Eileen Boyle as the Mother.

Local Food Pantry Adds Special Holiday Hours Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc. is opening its doors for additional hours in November and December to accommodate higher numbers of people expected near the holidays. Additional food distribution hours for the remainder of November and December are Wednesday evening November 18, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m., as well as 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on each Wednesday evening in December. “We often have long waiting times just before the holidays,” said Executive Director Margaret McNett Burruss. “We started the additional Wednesday evening hours at the beginning of November, and currently there is very little wait during those hours. Our goal with the additional hours is both to reduce wait times, and to make up for the days we are closed for the holidays.” The pantry is closed several dates in both November and December for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The dates the pantry will be closed include Wednesday evening November 25 (closed for evening hours only, open in the afternoon), Thursday November
26, Saturday November 28, Thursday December 24, Saturday December 26, and Thursday December 31. Additional information on volunteering, donating, or receiving food can be obtained by contacting Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry through its website (www. cvilleloavesandfishes.org) or by calling the Pantry at (434) 996-7868.

Through the years, these concerts have become an eagerly awaited holiday tradition. This year’s program is brimming with festive favorites for concertgoers young and old, naughty and nice: Carol of the Bells, Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Winter Wonderland, Deck the Halls and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. Young revelers can look forward to a suite from The Polar Express and Disney’s Frozen.

Charlottesville and Albemarle Nothing marks the beginning of the holiday season as dramatically as the lighting of a giant Christmas tree. The City of Charlottesville’s 18th annual Grand Illumination takes place at Central Place on the Downtown Mall on Friday, December 4th from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The long list of musical groups set to perform includes the UVA Hullabahoos, the Virginia Sil‘hooettes, the Virginia Belles, the Virginia Consort, the
Jeffersonland Chorus, the Morning Choir of Charlottesville High School, DMR Adventures, As One, the Burley Young Women’s Chorus and the Henley Middle School Choir. Santa himself will parade down the Mall, with the

On December 19, Cooper says, “we are pleased to have teamed up with Parks and Recreation to present Caroling in the Park, featuring a local chorus, a bonfire, and hot chocolate and cookies. There will also be a visit from the jolly old elf, Santa, and a free photo will be provided by Jim Call and Queen City Photography.” Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol in 1843, and began reading it for audiences nine years later. Staunton’s American Shakespeare Center plays Shakespeare in authentic Elizabethan fashion eleven months of the year, but come December they bring Marley, Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim to life with all the warmth and animation the author himself was said to bring to his now beloved characters. Performances of this family-friendly Christmas classic begin on Friday, December 4 at 7:30 p.m., and continue every day through December 27 with the exception of Christmas Day.

Staunton Staunton’s Gypsy Hill Park is a 214acre recreational space in the heart of a small, picturesque city, with an 1.3 mile roadway, Constitution Drive, running through its center. Come late November, a drive or a stroll down Constitution is the perfect way to view the park’s annual Celebration of Holiday Lights. “It is a very popular event because people can ride through the park and enjoy the lights and displays,” says lifelong Staunton resident Angel Cooper. “Some of them are animated, and some have music that plays as part of the display.” Beginning with only 10 displays back in 2004, the Celebration has steadily grown. Last year its more than 50 installations, all created by businesses, churches, clubs, and families, were seen by over 30,000 visitors. A special “Field of Deer” portion of the exhibition is created by individual city residents to honor and memorialize loved ones; signs and decorated trees honor police officers and American armed forces as well. The 2015 Celebration of Holiday Lights runs from November 23rd until January 1, beginning each evening at 5:00 p.m. On Saturday, December 12 at 5:00 p.m., sponsoring families for this year’s Field of Deer will speak about their loved ones in a heated tent by the park pool. On December 18, Calvary Baptist Church will present this year’s live Nativity and petting zoo.

Saturdays through December 19, from 8:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m. at Water and South Street, more than 100 vendors will offer holiday gifts and decorations as part of the Charlottesville Holiday Market. Hungry browsers will find food trucks selling baked goods, Mexican and Caribbean specialties, dumplings and more. On November 27, 28, 29, 30 and December 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello will hold its 29th annual wreath-making workshops – threehour affairs at the David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center.

wreath forms, pins, wire, and a cornucopia of natural materials. Participants should bring their own hand pruners. On Sunday, November 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monticello will celebrate the beginning of the holiday season with its Third Annual Holiday Open House, including free tours of Jefferson’s (seasonally decorated) home. The Shop at Monticello will offer tastings and treats. Evening tours of Monticello for adults and children ages 6 and up will take place December 11, 12, 18-23 and 26-30 at 5:15 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. These small-group house tours will include the Dome Room and will offer an intimate look at how the holidays were celebrated in Jefferson’s time, plus the rare opportunity to experience Monticello after dark. Tickets are $55. Portions of this tour are not handicapped-accessible. Monticello’s 5th Annual Holiday Classic 5K and Deck the Halls Kids Dash will be held on Saturday, December 5 from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. Kids 12 and under can dash ‘round the quarter mile, West Lawn loop at 8:10. The family-oriented 5k race will begin on the East Walk of Monticello at 8:20. Tickets are $35 for the adult race only, $55 for the race plus a trail support donation, and $10 for the dash. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Architecture-loving Thomas Jefferson was forever building and remodeling Monticello. Maybe if he’d made a gingerbread mock-up he’d have gotten it right the first time. A mini Monticello (perhaps with a Frank Gehry addition?) will be the retro but really cool design
choice at Monticello’s 2015 Gingerbread House Family Workshops. Recommended for families with children ages five and up, the two-hour workshops will be held on Saturdays, December 5 and 12 at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and on Sundays, December 6 & 13 at 2:00 p.m. at the Woodland Pavilion in the David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center. $49 Family Passes admit up to four people and include supplies for one house. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Cookies and hot cider will be served. Advance reservations are required. James Madison’s Montpelier holds a Christmas Open House with Mr. Madison on Saturday, December 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The last mansion tour will be 4:00. Santa will visit the Visitor Center from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., where visitors will enjoy cider and cookies, hear a holiday choir, and admire the Decorating Corner featuring cookies and pine cones. On Sunday, December 6, at 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. at the Paramount Theater on the Downtown Mall, Moscow Ballet presents The Great Russian Nutcracker, with 40 Russian dancers, playful puppets, hand crafted sets and over 200 costumes. In the second act of Moscow Ballet’s version of this holiday classic, Masha and her Nutcracker Prince arrive in the Land of Peace and Harmony where all creatures, animal and human, live in accord with each other, and where two dancers form a soaring white bird with a 20 foot wingspan. Tickets range from $30.00 to $177.00. Gian Carlo Menotti called his inspirational, one-act, hour-long opera Amahl and the Night Visitors “an op-
era for children because it tries to recapture my own childhood” – an Italian childhood where gifts were brought not by Santa Claus but by the Three Kings. Amahl has enchanted audiences since its 1951 debut on live American television; Ash Lawn Opera’s holiday production returns for a fourth year to Charlottesville’s Paramount Theater on Saturday, December 12 at 2:00 and 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for children 12 and under, $16.50 for students with I.D., and $27, $37, and $45 for adults.

ACCORDING TO ENERGY.GOV, the average U.S. household wastes $100 each year on what they describe as “phantom load.” Phantom load refers to the electric power consumed by appliances and electronic devices that are turned off or in standby mode. Even when appliances are not performing their primary job while in standby mode, if they are still plugged into an outlet, power is still being consumed. Many unsuspecting homeowners are surprised to learn that dozens of these appliances and devises including cable boxes, mobile chargers, and TVs are lurking in their homes. Although it can be extremely challenging to completely rid your home of these phantoms, there are some steps every homeowner can take to help keep their electric bills low while making the season bright.
Deck Your Home with LED Lighting When consumers consider purchasing LED lighting the cost is typically a major factor. Generally, LED lighting is more expensive than incandescent; however, LED consumes about 90 percent less energy, providing a homeowner with an immediate savings on their energy bill, according to energy.gov. For example, one 7-watt incandescent
Holiday Lighting:
How to Save Energy and Money BY JANET THOMSON
holiday bulb could power two 24-door LED strings, which is enough power to light a six-foot tree. In addition, LED lights can last about 10 times longer making it an ideal choice when it comes to energy efficiency and savings. Another way to cut energy costs is by not leaving your lights on all night. You can program a timer to kill the switch while you are deep in a peaceful holiday slumber. If you are hosting out of town guests, you also could switch your non-holiday lights to LEDs. This will not only save you some extra cash,
but the LED lights produce less heat and are safer to the touch, an added incentive if there are little ones roaming throughout the house. Furthermore, if you have ceiling fans in your home or guest rooms, running them 24/7 costs an additional $7 a month, so remind your guests to switch off the light and ceiling fan whenever they leave the room. Lastly, invite the sunshine in. When you open your curtains or blinds on your west and south facing windows during the day to allow the natural sunlight to heat your home,
you can expect to save anywhere from 2 to 12 percent on your electric bill.
Lighting Design Matters When it Comes to Energy Efficiency According to holidayled.com, once a homeowner determines their lighting design, they should then take into account landscape features such as the proximity of trees and bushes to the home and to each other, including the architectural features of the roofline or windows. The location of the electrical sources also should be considered prior to deciding what to light and how you are going to light it. For example, if you can’t get an extension cord in a location where you want to decorate because you don’t have power, re-evaluate your design option, hire an electrician to put an outlet in, or even consider using battery or solar powered lights, advises holidayled.com. In addition, holidayled.com encourages homeowners to make sure that they have the appropriate number and lengths of extension cords before installing. Ideally, you want to install with the lights on and having the necessary supplies beforehand will help save both time and money. Most importantly, keep all connections off the ground. This can be

HOUSE & HOME
The kitchen is the busiest section in the house during the holidays, whether you are preparing homemade holiday food, gifts, or hosting a house full of guests. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), implementing a few simple changes will not only help you save on energy costs during the holiday seasons, but for years to come. The refrigerator is known as the “energy hog” in most homes, which is why the ACEEE encourages homeowners to purchase Energy Star-certified model appliances. Another way to cut energy costs in the kitchen is resisting the temptation to open the oven. When you constantly open the oven, it requires a significant amount of energy to heat back up. Instead, cook with the oven light on and you will conserve energy when you have to “sneak-a-peek.” Choose glass or ceramic pans when baking. These pans are ideal because

they heat faster than metal pans, and allow you to set the temperature 25 degrees lower than a recipe suggests. In addition, keep the stove burners clean because they reflect heat up to the cookware. Dusting off your crock-pot is another ideal solution to energy efficiency. Smaller appliances like your crock-pot, microwave, toaster oven or pressure cooker use far less energy than an oven or stove and is much more energy efficient for preparing side dishes or small meals. Although holiday planning requires a lot of time, unfortunately most people are not thinking about energy efficiency and usage when it comes to preparing meals, entertaining guests or decorating the home. Since lighting, heating and cooking are the three biggest expenses homeowners encounter year round, it just makes sense to equip your home with resources like LED lights and Energy Star labeled products. When energy efficiency becomes a holiday tradition, homeowners can help keep their electric bills low while making the season bright—just one more thing to be thankful for this n holiday season.
