So what’s all the fuss about Christmas anyway? For some, the holidays simply mean an over-indulgence in decadent foods, the giving and receiving of presents, and a twinkling of lights red and green. TO others it connotes a laborious session of cooking and clean-up, maxed out credit cards and several blown fuses and many sore heads from binge drinking! I think for many people, Christmas is pure gluttony and/or involves greed, boasting and a lot of unnecessary stress. I mean how many toys can one child actually play with? What is with all these RIDICULOUS posts on the news feeds on Facebook on Christmas Eve night of people’s Christmas trees and how many presents they have under the tree. For normal people, do they not realise we don’t actually care what’s under their tree? Many people and families will struggle to put food on the table, so just keep that in mind when your posting photos of the beautiful presents under your tree. This is the season where its going to be either a Love/Hate situation! I grew up in a family where my Mam and Dad had five little mouths to feed. We saw good times and bad times but we were always brought up to share and be grateful for what we had. Back then Facebook didn’t even exist. We were happy to get what we were handed. We wrote

Strawberry shortcake Perfect for beach holidays (if you’re lucky enough to be heading to the sun this festive period) this strawberryprint sun dress for girls is designed with a halterneck strap. Price: €19 from Accessorize

our letter to the North Pole and our parents did their level best to honour what was on the list and if it wasn’t under tree Christmas morning we were told Santa had none left and that he’ll make it up during the next year. These days kids are getting tablets, Xboxs, top of the range smartphones, tractors you could use on the dual carriage way. When they wake up on Christmas morning they use the boxes the toys came out of as sleighs to come down the stairs, up and down up and down all day – it’s like Central Station! Truth be told, Christmas

is not about what is under the tree, it’s who is around you Christmas Day at the dinner table that counts. Cherish the little things and don’t take them for granted, as some day you won’t have what’s in front of you. Despite Christmas having drifted so far from of its original intent and purpose, the spirit of the season continues to reside within us all. Christmas is time to be truly grateful for the small things in life and to cherish the true friends and family you have. So this year, let us take a pause to reflect on what makes Christmas,

Christmas and that is: To your enemy, forgiveness, To an opponent, tolerance, To a friend, your heart, To a customer, service, To all, charity, To every child, a good example, To yourself, respect. A very Happy Christmas to all my followers and I hope all your dreams and wishes come true. Remember to stay safe and REMEMBER TO NEVER, EVER, EVER DRINK AND DRIVE THIS CHRISTMAS.

SUDOKU

It should suit you to network. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dissatisfied with working conditions (and may have been for some time), reconnecting with others working in adjacent fields is likely worth the effort - especially toward the end of the week (though you most likely to need to start organising that from Monday). Anticipate that your efficiency will be questioned (yes, again!) on Monday. At one level you might not mind explaining things in detail to someone new to the scene. Your ethics may be challenged. Another possibility is that communications with those who live at some distance demand that you offer an explanation for your plans. At some level you might even feel the need to be defensive about arrangements already in place for early 2016. You might feel the need to explain these - at length - to someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem entirely respectful of your obligations. As with most people, you appreciate straight talking. Yet not for the first time you might wonder if something is being deliberately over or under-valued. Getting to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of this situation and why someone thinks as they do could yet prove quite a challenge. Midst all this, someone whom you know to be perfectly capable could intimate (and again, not for the first time) that they are unhappy with conditions Perhaps more than any other sign you understand that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;need to feel the fear and do it anywayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. What may be worrying you presently has everything to do with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pushing someone out of the nestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Though at some level you might wish to keep them close (not least because organisationally that works) but at another you perhaps know that if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a move soon, then they are missing out. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at that time of year when things can be both chaotic and exciting. Yet there is a rhythm to time and this year - just one in over a dozen - could prove more expensive than usual. By mid-week you might wonder if your purchases are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re perfect but have drained resources. You may need to talk to yourself sternly midweek - and not just from the point of view of money-matters. There are times when you manage to bridge the gap between detail and vision. You â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;knowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; what needs to be done; can keep an eye on the minutia and know exactly what the finished product or service will look like. The art is perhaps in finding the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team who will work with you getting things in place and on time. There is very real danger presently of you over-stretching yourself.You would do well to remind yourself frequently that you are not super-human! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to think that at this time of year preparations for festivities will be preoccupying. Even so, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a festival air to Monday - which may be linked to contact with siblings or colleagues celebrating birthdays: possibly marking a milestone that warrants extra attention. A flurry of social excitement is promised but will surely need to be followed by quiet attention to detail and to transport arrangements for early 2016. Just how reliant you are on friends and colleagues to ensure smooth running of plans should be apparent on Monday. It may be that someone has promised more than they can really deliver. This leaves you with choices: to accept with grace what they can do, to pay more to have a product or service delivered on time or to blow a gasket (or a mixture of all three). In short, the week could get off to a bumpy start. Yours is one of the Mutable (think versatile) signs of the zodiac. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no problem to you to think of several things simultaneously and absorb facts and figures (as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested!). In one sense, it could be said that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy wherever you are. Presently though it seems others need to know what it is that you really, really want. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the time to be coy or to suggest that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too bothered.

With Mercury now in your sign and moving toward its annual alignment with Pluto next weekend, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surely some deep-thinking to do. As of Monday it might seem that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;knowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;enough and that the best way forward includes extra training. Really? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as likely that you could gain through renewing contact with those you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for some time. Putting networking as high priority may be no bad thing. Before you get swamped with requests and with long list of things to do, it might be useful to think back to your birthday and any ideas and aims you determined to achieve this year. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Quarter Moon marks a staging post for these. At the very least you could, perhaps, drop hints as to what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to receive as gifts in a few weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. As of this week it may be apparent that someone who offered SO much earlier this year isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in a position to deliver. It seems others want SO much from you - including direction. At a personal level thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perhaps not your strongest suit. Yet you can show exceptional talent for organising others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that trait thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be on display this week. You could both draw up timelines and persuade others to work with these. By midweek you might even be regarded is indispensable to someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in chaotic situation for many months.

Store of the week

Game of the week

Allens, Castle Street, Carlow

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (PS4)

Allens of Kilkenny was established in 1948 by Mary & Patrick Allen. The family now in its third generation opened the Carlow store in 1980. Staff at the muchloved department store enjoy the challenge of maintaining and growing an excellent choice of quality gifts and kitchen products along with endeavouring to find exciting and unusual items for the home and gift departments. They have found that concentrating on the widest possible choice is key to satisfying their customer’s needs, from china to casual dining, contemporary design to classical or crystal to glassware, they will most certainly have the item of your choice. Visit: www.allens.ie for more information.

Several years after his last adventure, retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves. With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

Bar of the week

Album of the week

The Med Bar, Tullow Street, Carlow

Neil Young: Live as the Cellar Door

At The Med Bar the emphasis is firmly placed on providing top quality service, atmosphere, and music in a relaxed setting. Whether relaxing and unwinding from a busy day, or planning a night out, The Med Bar will cater for all your needs with an extensive food menu available daily and several wide screen televisions for all sporting occasions. They have a large smoking area complete with its own bar where cocktails are a speciality. Late bar on weekends.

Limited 180-gram vinyl LP pressing. Escaping from the vaults of singer/songwriter Neil Young, “Live at the Cellar Door” features the artist at his prime in 1970. The album is the latest in Young’s ongoing Archives Performance Series, and it collects recordings made during the Canadian singer/songwriter’s intimate six-show solo stand at The Cellar Door, a venue in Washington DC, between November 30th and December 2nd, 1970. Since the gigs were only a few months after his album, “After The Gold Rush,” was released, five of the thirteen tracks here are from that record.

Hotel of the week

Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa and Golf Resort, Tullow, Carlow Set within 200 acres of beautiful countryside, the luxurious Mount Wolsey Hotel and Spa boasts an 18-hole championship golf course and tennis courts. It features a 20 yards swimming pool, and spacious rooms with cosy bathrobes and slippers. Elegant decor, complimentary mineral water, and a private bathroom with luxury Elemis products are provided in each room at Mount Wolseley. There are some wonderful Christmas packages available this festive period, visit: www.mountwolseley.ie for more information.

Restaurant of the week

DVD of the week

The Man from U.N.C.L.E Guy Ritchie directs and co-writes this action comedy based on the 1960s TV series and starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Set in 1963, the story follows two agents, Napoleon Solo (Cavill) of the CIA and Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) of the KGB, who, much to their chagrin, are made to join forces and work together on a mission to bring down a mysterious criminal organisation that is intent on multiplying the number of nuclear weapons. Will the pair succeed? The cast also includes Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant.

App of the week

Lemongrass, Hanover Square, Carlow

PNP Portable North Pole (iPad)

All our food is hand prepared by Asian Chefs using all natural ingredients – we don’t use MSG, preservatives or artificial colourings. Lemongrass is the healthy option, kind to your waistline. Lemongrass is more than a place to eat – it’s a destination an experience that you will want to repeat. Visit: www.lemongrass.ie for more information.

Keeping your kids excited about the prospect of Christmas and Santa in the age of the internet might be a little bit tricky, but the digital age comes with some advantages - namely the chance to get Santa to send a personalised video message (and phone call) to your younglings. The app is divided into two sections, the kids corner where they can play around, and the parents corner where all the magic happens. Obviously the parents corner is passcode protected as to not spoil everything.

Book of the week

Movie of the week

Hopscotch by Hilary Fannin

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Hilary is four, not yet five, and she has a mother and a father and an older brother and sisters. She even has a name at home - Billy - that is different from her written-down name. But now that she is in Low Babies in the local convent school, it seems Hilary has something else called responsibilities. The world is a changing place. Hilary’s parents, themselves products of a country bathed in sanctifying grace, and presided over by leather-strapped Christian Brothers, wimpled nuns, and a strictly ingrained moral code, start to question their own life choices...

One of cinema’s truly legendary franchises finally returns with the eagerly-awaited ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, which sees a new generation of heroes fighting for the freedom of the galaxy. We return to George Lucas’ beloved universe to find it dramatically changed, and a new enemy has risen from the Empire’s ashes. Fresh faces Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron must unite with old warriors Luke, Han and Leia. The Dark Side has awoken. But so has the Light. May the Force be with you.
