Many people have a secret stash tucked into drawers and stuffed way back into closets: Presents from the past they don’t really want but the guilt is too strong to let them go.

If all the holiday prep and bustle is giving your inner Grinch a migraine, you may find yourself in very good company! A recent Coinstar survey, conducted among 2,000 adults by Atomik Research, uncovered some of these hidden attitudes toward the holidays.

After past failures to make a holiday budget, you decided it’s just easier to close your eyes and dive into a credit coma until January. Because it’s impossible to keep up with the unexpected extras that keep popping up: added gifts, events, replacement decorations, holiday attire and food. Here’s a reality check. Some 68 percent of people stick to a holiday budget. Maybe past failures can be chalked up to not having enough information to create a good plan.

5 tips to help party guests feel welcome

(BPT) - At this time of year there is plenty to celebrate, and any celebration is best done with a collection of your closest friends. So, who’s up for a party? You are. Your house is ready, the food is prepped and your guests should be showing up any minute. When they do, you want them to have the best time possible and that starts by making them feel comfortable. To that end, here are five ways you can make your party guests feel welcome right from the first knock on the door.

conversations without being drowned out by the noise of your air conditioner, ensuring this essential system is seldom heard but always enjoyed. * Give them a quick tour. This doesn’t have to be comprehensive — and you may have rooms that aren’t show worthy right now — but give your guests a quick tour of every room where the party will be taking place. If your guests see the room on the tour, they’ll be more comfortable mingling in that space during the party without feeling like they are intruding. * Avoid over cleaning. You want your home to look like a tidy, lived-in home, not a museum, so make it clean but not spick-and-span. A house that is too clean will make guests nervous to move about for fear of dirtying something. And then, once the party is going, keep your in-party cleaning to a minimum. It’s a party after all, and your friends came to see you, not watch you clean.

* Don’t be afraid to make some introductions. If you’re hosting a party where most of the guest list does not know one another, your guests are apt to * Be there to greet them. As your party gets going congregate in small bubbles with the people they do know. To break the cycle, don’t be afraid to step no one can blame you for wanting to just put a “come on in” sign on your front door. However, re- in and make some introductions.

5 tips to keep your tires ready for holiday driving (BPT) - Holiday season is upon us again, meaning an extra-large helping of food, family, friends and fun are in store. Unfortunately, so is the seasonal nasty weather. Be prepared for chilling temps, rain and snow that could easily put a damper on driving to holiday celebrations and shopping sprees. As the weather starts to get temperamental and roads get super-slick, now is the time to make sure your car is ready to handle the holiday driving crunch. First place to check is at your feet: Your tires are responsible for safely getting you from holiday point A to point B.

Tire maintenance is also important. Make sure the tread is in good shape and your tires are properly inflated. That will help increase traction on wet and icy roads, which is especially important during the fall/winter season. Here are some yearround tips: • Check tire pressure: Check tire pressure at least once a month — this takes about five minutes. Always use an accurate tire gauge and consult the owner’s manual or placard on the driver’s door to determine proper tire pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold — at least four hours since the vehicle was last

“Whether frantically searching for parking spaces at the mall or heading on a road trip to visit family, people have a lot on their plates during the holidays,” said Alan Holtschneider, director of marketing for Yokohama Tire Corp., maker of a variety of tires. “The one thing they shouldn’t forget to do is check the condition of their tires. It’s something every driver should do because tires are the only part of a vehicle that actually touches the road and they affect everything from braking and steering to comfort and handling.” Holtschneider said that certain types of tires perform well in less -than-ideal conditions. “An all-season tire such as the Avid Ascend GT delivers improved wet/snow braking and handling, while a light truck tire like the Geolandar A/T G015 handles any weather condition, including snow.”

Cultural Cuisine: Roy Yamaguchi's 6 tips for cooking pan-Asian inspired meals at home

"My father was very passionate about cooking, and he's the one who always used to take us to different parts of Japan for us to experience food in many different ways," he said. "We both shared the same passion ... that food is life." Yamaguchi is far from alone in his passion for authentic cuisine, which is one reason why MSC Cruises chose to partner with the pan-Asian pioneer.

Not only can the process be fun, creative and "I was excited about taking on this new venture and rewarding, but it can be a meaningful way to share bringing my cooking to a completely new space," and learn about different cultures.

How parents can encourage and support imaginative play

* Cardboard boxes are magic: With the help of a few simple, everyday objects around the house, kids can make their own playthings - and put their creative spin on it. Penne pasta, a little food coloring and string lets them make and design their own colorful beaded necklaces. And don't forget, to a (BPT) - Play is a child's work, and it comes naturalkid, nothing holds more possibilities than a large ly to kids. While we often focus on how a child's empty box! intellectual abilities are coming along, the role of imaginative play in childhood development is often * It's OK to pretend in public: Just about any outoverlooked. Imaginative play comes in many forms, whether playing house during a play date or pretending a cardboard box is a magic portal to the dinosaur age. Whatever a child chooses, imaginative play expands creativity, problem-solving skills and cognitive thinking. That is why for children in the 3- to 5 -year age range, it is crucial they are given access to time, space and playthings to fully experience it, says Laurie Schacht, publisher of The Toy Insider. "Imaginative play enables young children to navigate their new and growing emotional thoughts, as well as boundaries within their own social and family group settings," says Schacht. "A simple doll can create a new world or environment for a child to role play, as they interact with their toy and learn the importance and responsibilities of caring for something." While children need little prompting to play and pretend, there are many things parents and caregivers can do to encourage and support imaginative play. Here are a few ideas and tips to get started. * Build a dress-up station: With a dress-up station, kids can take their pretend games to the next level of fun - and perhaps even stage a play to entertain the entire family. Include hats, funny glasses, fake beards, wigs and shoes. Tip: Yard sales and ing gives kids the perfect backdrop and inspiration thrift shops are a gold mine for inexpensive, gently for imaginative play - and lets them burn off energy! You can kick things off with a simple "what if" used costumes and accessories. statement such as, "What if the playset was a ship * Imitation is good: Kids like to mimic real life at sea?"

How women business owners cracked the glass ceiling (BPT) - Today there are nearly 12 million women-owned small businesses in the United States that generate almost $1.7 trillion in revenues. But 30 years ago, it wasn’t the same story — these business owners’ financial futures could have been out of their hands due to sexist lending practices, incomplete government data and limited advocacy on their behalf. In 1988, women owned just 4.1 million businesses in the U.S — which may have been partially because acquiring financing was so difficult. Up until 1988, lenders could require women business owners seeking Kate Lester, owner of Kate Lester Interiors, took out a small business loan through Funding Circle financing to have a male cosigner. This shocking and unfair practice made it difficult for women business owners to get the funding they needed to grow — limiting their ability to do everything from open a new location to make payroll or even just refinance other debt. In the 1980s, the Small Business Administration released a report that mistakenly claimed almost all women-owned businesses were That all changed with the passage of H.R. 5050, also known as the Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988. This legislation is consid- home-based and had sales of under $10,000 per year — largely because data to the contrary wasn’t available. Knowing this to be a ered a landmark for women in business, changing the landscape of factually misleading report, the National Association of Women business financing for women in the United States forever.

By making this practice illegal, the bill helped level the playing field for women in business. It created the National Women’s Business Council. This council was established as an independent and nonpartisan federal advisory council.
