To our readers

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Season’s greetings to you from all of us at Current Publishing! It seems as though we just put to bed last year’s Gifts section, yet here we are finalizing the 2019 edition. Time speeds right along while we’re having fun, right? And fun should be one of the components of the holiday season, we believe. (Leave room for reverence, remembrance, nostalgia and other feelings triggered by and at this time of year.) So, as the song goes, “Oh, what fun … .” We took a look at several possibilities for the theme of this year’s section, and “handmade” kept bubbling to the surface. The cover illustration by Zach Ross, our art director, captures exactly that idea. Our managing editors, Ann Marie Shambaugh and Anna Skinner, sallied forth to find unique gift items made by hand, and there is some-

thing for everyone. The elements you have grown fond of through the years of the Gifts section still are packaged inside. We tell you where to find Santa, what’s happening in your community and where you may go ice skating, among other pursuits. We also help you get to know your community neighbors by pulling back the curtains on their holiday traditions and memories. In addition, you’ll find chefs’ menus and links to their recipes as well as a handful of what we call “didjas” – as in “did ja know?” – lots of holiday factoids that we believe you’ll find to be of interest and/or note. Did someone mention fun? We sincerely thank our advertisers for their participation that allows us to publish this annual special section, and we thank you for reading it. More than anything, though, we hope for you and yours a safe, whole and fulfilling holiday season.

Jeff Schultz is a Carmel resident and lead pastor at Faith Church. He answered the following questions about his family’s Christmas traditions. How do you welcome the holidays? We have a homemade Advent calendar with special reminders of the season or a family memory for each day leading to Christmas. Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season?” Real. We usually wait until they go on sale, so it gets decorated late! It’s done after New Year’s. Favorite local shop and why? Silver in the City. We love the eclectic and creative selection. Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? As soon as they’re wrapped. We make a big deal of stockings, though. They are a Christmas morning surprise. Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? I surprised my then-girlfriend with an engagement ring at Christmas.

Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? See answer above – She said ‘Yes’ to me 29 years ago. Favorite Christmas tradition? Singing “Silent Night” on Christmas Eve in church by candlelight. Favorite Christmas memory? We always drove from one set of grandparents to the other on Christmas Day. I loved seeing both families – and more presents to open! Favorite Christmas song? “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. One year, almost everyone came down with stomach flu – including family from out of town! I won’t go into details. Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? We dress up some for a family photo. We will probably have baked ham, salad, potatoes, green beans and some kind of pie or cake. All I want for Christmas is ... A less polarized and angry country. Or a chance to meet Weird Al Yankovic.

How do you welcome the holidays? We always kick off the holiday season the weekend after Thanksgiving with a trip to Piney Acres in Fortville. Then we go home, make some hot chocolate and decorate the house for the holidays while watching Christmas movies. Real tree or artificial? A real tree. Favorite local shop and why? You can frequently find me at Gallery 116, grabbing coffee at The Well or shopping for my son at Roman & Leo. Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? We put the presents under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped. It’s always fun to guess what everything could be. Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? The Christmas after my grandma died, I gave my mom a jar of “Kind Notes” with little notes and inspiring messages for the difficult time. She could pull out a note whenever she needed a pickme-up, and it was the perfect present for that time in our lives. Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? The Christmas after my son was born, my husband gave me a sapphire ring to accompany my wedding band. After my husband was born, his mom received a sapphire ring from his dad, so it’s a bit of a family tradition. Favorite Christmas tradition? Making Christmas cookies, decorating the tree, watching Christmas movies. Favorite Christmas memory? In 2012, central Indiana was hit with a big snow storm right around Christmas, and many roads and

businesses around Indianapolis closed for several days. Both my husband and I had our offices close as well. It was unexpected to have the extra time off work around the holidays, and we had so much fun those few days. We hiked around in the snow, tested out our new Christmas presents and just spent time relaxing with family and friends. Favorite Christmas song? My favorites are “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Carol of the Bells” and “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Our cats love to climb up in the tree and sleep on the branches. One year, they knocked the entire tree over. All of the water at the base spilled out, ornaments broke, it was a mess. Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Our dinner sort of floats between the two. We host Christmas, so we have family come to our house in the afternoon. My husband (the cook in our family) makes a ham, tons of sides and we have a big meal for Christmas lunch. All I want for Christmas is ... A relaxing, stress-free time with my family.

Robyn and Mark Littler own Noble Coffee & Tea in downtown Noblesville. (Submitted photo)

Robyn Littler owns Noble Coffee & Tea in downtown Noblesville with her husband, Mark. She answered the following questions about her family’s Christmas traditions. How do you welcome the holidays? Since I’m at the coffee shop more than I’m at my own home, I love adding some fun decor to the shop’s shelves. Listening to some of my favorite holiday playlists also is a favorite pastime. Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”? Typically, it’s been artificial, although it would be nice to have a real tree some year. I have lots of ornaments that have been passed down, so it’s generally a combination of those with some of the glass reproduction vintage-y-looking round ornaments. I try to make sure everything is down the first couple weeks of January. Favorite local shop and why? Can’t choose. Too many great merchants. Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve?

Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? Now, gifts typically go under the tree as they’re wrapped, although I do recall Santa leaving special gifts unwrapped when I was growing up. Favorite Christmas tradition? Christmas Eve pajamas. Favorite Christmas memory? When I was a little girl, my grandpa would take us to downtown Indy to view the Christmas-tree lighting from what was then the Bank One building. It was something I looked forward to all year. Favorite Christmas song? “Greensleeves” Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Honestly, not that I can recall. Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Generally, it’s casual and we attend Christmas dinner at a parent’s home. All I want for Christmas is … My closets and kitchen cabinets organized.

Matt Gaylor is the engagement pastor at NSPIRE Church in Westfield. He answered the following questions about his family’s Christmas traditions. How do you welcome the holidays? By decorating the house and listening to Michael Bublé’s Christmas album. Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”? Artificial tree. We decorate usually around Thanksgiving. We’ve been known to leave it up past New Year’s. Favorite local shop and why? Does Amazon count? Our local favorites are all restaurants. We love Lincoln Square for breakfasts together. Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? No presents get put under the tree until Christmas Eve. Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? The best gift we’ve given was two years ago. After we

lost our bulldog, Bruiser, we got a puppy for the kids. They love him so much. Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? My wife said “yes” when I proposed to her shortly before Christmas in 2005. Favorite Christmas tradition? We would all pile in the truck and grab hot chocolate with our kids and go look at the Christmas lights at Reynolds in Fishers. Favorite Christmas memory? It was one of our saddest and happiest Christmas seasons, when our dog died and then we got the kids a new puppy for Christmas. Favorite Christmas song? I’m not sure I have one song. I love the Alabama Christmas album and Michael Bublé Christmas. Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Not that I can remember. Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Casual. All I want is mashed potatoes and noodles. All I want for Christmas is ... Time with my family.

Five minutes with … Gail Robbins is a Zionsville resident and a member of the Zionsville Lions Club. She answered the following questions about her family’s Christmas traditions. How do you welcome the holidays? I actually like to start in the guest bedrooms. I make sure the beds are holiday festive. The flowers are a touch of winter. And the candy dish filled with colorful chocolates. Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”? For years, I had the most beautiful 15foot tree brought in every year. I like to change themes every few years and we have moved, so now it’s an artificial tree. Favorite local shop and why? I love to run all over our little town and pick up gifts, a little something from Lesley Jane, then stop in Zionsville Olive Tap.

Favorite Christmas memory? We always included people that were alone. Favorite Christmas song? “Away in a Manger.” Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Maybe the time we were all dressed and eating away and our almost 3-year-old granddaughter starts gagging, with no doubt she was going to throw up all over the table. So, I calmly put my hands out and caught it to everyone’s shock. Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Dinners, no matter how many guests, are formal. I’ve always felt on Christmas Eve everyone can dress up. My husband makes a delicious standing rib roast with all the fixings. All I want for Christmas is ... To help others. That’s why I’m a Zionsville Lion, that’s why I’m a Leader Dog for the Blind trustee. I have been blessed with all I’ll ever want in life.

Holidays may bring added stress with visiting friends and family, cold weather and other issues, but Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling staff are providing tips to make sure plumbing problems don’t contribute to seasonal angst. Some of the most common holiday problems plumbers encounter are clogged kitchen drains, often caused by a turkey bone. But other Thanksgiving meal ingredients can cause clogs, too, such as eggshells and pasta. “People don’t realize how bad eggshells are,” General Manager Michelle Hepburn said. “And obviously, grease is not a good idea, either. Pasta is a bad one, and we see a lot of that.” Moreover, with relatives assisting with cleanup, Hepburn said some of Summers’ plumbers have noticed silverware or excess food shoved down the drain because others may not be as careful in someone else’s home.

Hepburn also reminds those playing host to holiday get-togethers that dishwasher drains can clog, too, and dishes should always be scraped off. When it comes to other drains in the house, plumbers notice an increase in baby wipes (although they don’t know why) clogging toilets. Baby wipes should never be flushed. Per cold weather, Hepburn reminds homeowners of common prevention methods such as ensuring the crawl space entry is covered and unhooking garden hoses, but a lesser-known cause of frozen pipes is leaving the garage door open too long. “If there’s any plumbing in the garage, close the garage door,” Hepburn said, noting small water lines freeze quickly. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling is at 15580 Herriman Blvd., Noblesville. It can be reached at 317-399-5665. For more, visit summersphc.com.
