The holidays have always held a cherished place in my heart and nothing is quite as wonderous as witnessing the sheer delight as my children unwrap their Christmas morning gifts. As time marches on, my perspective has shifted. It's less about the excitement of getting presents and more about the joy of giving and seeing that happiness light up their faces. Each year during this time, we blend the traditions we've treasured for years with the excitement of exploring new adventures. Our favorite tradition is spending the Holidays at the cottage! There's this inexplicable charm in spending Christmas at the lake, roasting marshmallows by the fire, gliding on the frozen lake and diving into snowbanks with our little ones. It's like opening a time capsule. It brings out our inner child, reminding us to cherish every fleeting moment. For those grappling with the daunting task of selecting the perfect gifts for loved ones, fret not! Our holiday gift guide has something for everyone on your list. Happy shopping and most of all, happy holidays from all of us at Canadian Home Trends Magazine and the Marc and Mandy Show! Marc Atiyolil Editor-in-Chief marc@canadianhometrends.com

TIPS FOR PARENTS
Helping Kids Conquer Santa Photo Fears For some children, the prospect of sitting on Santa's lap can be a daunting experience. As caregivers, it's crucial to approach this situation with sensitivity and encouragement. Here are quick tips to make the Santa photo session a positive memory for your child: OPEN A DIALOGUE: Start a positive conversation about Santa, emphasizing the joy of giving and the magic of the holidays. VISUAL EXPOSURE: Show your child pictures or videos of other kids happily meeting Santa to demystify the experience. PRE-VISIT SANTA'S WORKSHOP: Familiarize your child with the environment before the photo session to ease their apprehension. TIMING MATTERS: Choose quieter times to avoid overwhelming crowds, making the experience more relaxed for your child. COMFORT OBJECT: Allow your child to bring a favorite toy for added security during the Santa encounter. GRADUAL APPROACH: If needed, take small steps, like a distant wave to Santa, before attempting a full photo session. RESPECT THEIR FEELINGS: Be supportive and understanding; don't force the interaction if your child is not ready. CELEBRATE PROGRESS: Acknowledge and celebrate even small steps toward overcoming their fears, fostering a positive association with Santa.

Open channels that go through the tooth, called dentin tubules, become exposed when enamel wears down. When fluid moves through these channels, nerves perceive it as pain. Most sensitive toothpastes contain potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride, which just numbs the pain. That’s why Tom’s of Maine has introduced the new Tom's of Maine’s PureActiv Sensitive + Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste, which works by filling the channels that lead to sensitive tooth nerves to block the pain. Arginine is a polar amino acid, so it helps Calcium Carbonate stick to the dentin surface, sealing the tubules to block the cause of pain. With continuous use, it provides long-lasting sensitivity protection. www.tomsofmaine.com

GAME NIGHT
favorites Fans of UNO® card games will love the UNO® Quatro™ family game, which combines the challenge of getting four in a row with the strategy of matching colours or numbers. On their turn, players slide their tiles into 1 of the 7 trays, strategically trying to maneuver the tiles to get four-in-a-row. The tiles must touch another tile with either the same colour or number, and special Action Tiles change the game by making other players work with fewer tiles, pushing a tile out of a tray, and even swapping the position of two trays! Makes a great gift for UNO® fans and game lovers. - www.mattel.com HISTORY Channel Trivia, created in partnership with The HISTORY Channel, is all about strategy (or knowing your rival’s HISTORY kryptonite!) Opponents can attempt to block each other from obtaining specific categories by replacing their answered question card with a category card their competition has already scored a point in. However, there is another way to win a category if faced against a strong defense. Every 3 cards from the same category can equal WILD card for any of the categories a player or team still needs to acquire. So, fill the board with your competitor’s little-known roadblocks or send your competition down the scenic route to victory by selecting cards from their previously conquered categories. Whichever method you choose and how much (or little) you know about any given category, HISTORY can be anyone’s game! 2+ Players | Ages 14+ | 30-45 Minute Play Time www.dycegames.com
