T

he holidays are a time for giving and gathering with loved ones.

Because the holiday season is such a social time of year, it can be wise for celebrants to revisit social manners in the days ahead before the holiday party season hits full swing.

Practicing good manners is especially poignant during the holidays to keep the spirit of compassion and goodwill alive.

Host/hostess gifts

A gift is a great way for holiday celebrants to express their appreciation to holiday hosts. It doesn’t have to be a lavish gift; a bottle of wine, baked goods or a decorative trinket each make for thoughtful gifts.

RSVP

Promptly RSVP so hosts can plan accordingly. A text, phone call or quick email will suffice.

Accept gifts with grace Dream no more, we have the perfect gift for your fido-loving friend or family member!

Whether you planned to exchange gifts or not, if someone gives you a gift, accept it with a smile and express your appreciation. It may not be what you need or desire, but do not let the gift-giver think you are unhappy

People can get into the habit of falling into the holiday shopping rush, forgetting manners when in crowds.

Remember that everyone is in the same boat, which probably involves racing against the clock to accomplish holiday tasks. A little patience, a smile and some polite words can go a long way toward making shopping a more pleasant experience.

Be helpful to others Consider those people who may have a difficult time getting holiday shopping or other jobs done, such as an elderly neighbor or a friend who is feeling under the weather. Find out if you can maximize your trip to the mall or supermarket by getting them some things they need.

Ask before bringing a guest While the more the merrier is often the case, be sure hosts are fine with an extra guest or two. Remember, he or she may have gifts planned for those in attendance, and an unexpected face may lead to an embarrassing shortage of treats.

Manners and etiquette can make the holiday season even more enjoyable.

Tips for safe holiday entertaining in pet-friendly households

T

he holidays are a time to spend with friends and family.

Celebrating and entertaining are large components of what makes Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, and New Years festivities so enjoyable. Holiday hosts with pets must consider companion animals when planning the festivities.

The holiday season brings added dangers for pets. The American Veterinary Association notes that, by keeping hazards in mind, pet owners can ensure their four-legged friends enjoy the season as much as everyone else.

Secure the tree. Securely anchor the Christmas tree so that it won’t tip over on anyone, including rambunctious pets. Also, stagnant tree stand water can grow bacteria. If a pet should drink the water, it may end up with nausea or diarrhea. Replenish the tree basin with fresh water daily.

Skip the candles. When creating mood lighting, opt for electronic or battery-powered lights instead of open flames. Pets may knock over candles, and that can be an instant fire hazard.

Keep food out of reach. Situate food buffets beyond the reach of hungry and curious animals. Warn guests to promptly throw out their leftovers so that dogs and cats do not sneak away with scraps that may

cause stomach upset or worse. Real Simple magazine warns that fatty foods can promote pancreatitis — a potentially dangerous inflammation of the pancreas that produces toxic enzymes and causes illness and dehydration. Small bones can get lodged in a pet’s throat or intestines as well.

Avoid artificial sweeteners.

Exercise caution when baking sugarfree desserts. The artificial sweetener xylitol can cause dogs’ blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels.

Xylitol is found in some toothpastes and gum, so tell overnight guests to keep their toiletries secure to avoid accidental exposure.

Be cautious with cocktails. If the celebration will include alcoholic beverages, the ASPCA says to place unattended adult beverages where pets cannot reach them. Ingested alcohol can make pets ill, weak and even induce comas.

Be picky about plants. Mistletoe, holly and poinsettias can be dangerous in pet-friendly households. These plants can cause gastrointestinal upset and may lead to other problems if ingested. Opt for artificial replicas instead. If guests bring flowers, confirm they are nontoxic to pets before putting them on display.

Watch the door. Guests going in and out may inadvertently leave doors open. In such instances, pets who get scared or are door dashers may be able to escape the house. Put a note by the door to watch for escaping pets.

Designate a safe space for pets. If the holiday hustle proves too much for cats, dogs, birds, and more, give the pet a safe, quiet spot away from the crowds.

Holiday hosts should factor in pet safety when they open their homes to guests.

Hearty lasagna can feed holiday crowds

M

illions of people take to the roads, rails and skies to make it home for the holidays. Plenty of hosts and hostesses open their homes to well-traveled relatives and close friends during the holiday season, sometimes providing accommodations for several days. During this season of entertaining, it is helpful to have several go-to recipes that can feed a houseful of guests on hand.

The recipe for “Lasagna With Broccoli and Three Cheeses” from “Real Simple: Dinner Tonight, Done!” (Time Home Entertainment) from the editors of Real Simple is sure to stick to guests’ ribs on wintry nights. With only 15 minutes of preparation time, this dish gets popped in the oven and can be enjoyed an hour later.

Lasagna With Broccoli and Three Cheeses Serves 4

1 15-ounce container ricotta 1 pound frozen broccoli florets — thawed, patted dry, and chopped 21⁄4 cups grated mozzarella 1 ⁄2 cup grated Parmesan Kosher salt and black pepper

1 ⁄2 8 2

16-ounce jar marinara sauce cup heavy cream no-boil lasagna noodles tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the foil 4 cups mixed greens 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1

Heat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, broccoli, 2 cups of the mozzarella, 1⁄4 cup of the Parmesan, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. In a small bowl, combine the marinara sauce and cream.

Spoon a thin layer of the sauce into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with 2 noodles, a quarter of the remaining sauce, and a third of the broccoli mixture; repeat twice. Top with the remaining 2 noodles and sauce.

Sprinkle with the remaining 1⁄4 cup of mozzarella and 1⁄4 cup of Parmesan.

Cover the lasagna tightly with an oiled piece of foil and bake until the noodles are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Toss the greens with the oil, lemon juice, and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the lasagna.

Christmas carol spotlight: Deck the Halls

H

oliday cheer is front and center in communities across the globe during the holiday season. This year, celebrants can make this joyous season even more special by singing some of their favorite holiday songs.

“Deck the Halls” is a favorite among holiday celebrants who love to “fa la la.” In fact, those who sing the song in its entirety can expect to sing “la la” dozens of times before moving on to sing another holiday favorite.

“Deck the Halls” Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Troul the ancient Christmas carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Have a Safe & Happy Holiday!

While I sing of beauty’s treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the flowing bowl before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Laughing, quaffing all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tips for baking better Christmas cookies when perusing recipes. Baking is a science, and sometimes it takes practice to get the results just right.

However, there are some tips that can help yield better, buttery bounties.

Handle butter with care

C

ookies and other baked treats are everywhere come the holiday season. It’s not uncommon to give cookies as gifts or arrive at holiday gatherings with cakes and other decadent desserts.

Cookies are a classic holiday treat, and some families even build entire traditions around baking Christmas cookies.

Novice bakers making cookies for the first time may be a little overwhelmed

Butter can make or break a cookie recipe, as butter is often the glue that holds the cookie together. Therefore, it is key to follow the directions carefully regarding how to handle butter. Smithsonian.com says to leave butter at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to properly soften it. This takes patience, but fiddling with butter too much can damage its delectable integrity. While purists may say butter is best, margarine may be an acceptable substitute if it has a high fat content; otherwise, cookies may spread out and flatten.

When it comes time to cream the butter with sugar, be sure to do so thoroughly to incorporate air into the butter and remove the grainy texture of the sugar.

Measure flour properly

Measuring flour the right way can ensure cookies come out right. The Cooking Channel says to spoon the flour lightly into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Do not dip the measuring cup into the flour or tap the knife against the cup. This will pack too much flour into the measuring cup and result in dry, tough cookies.

Slow down the eggs

Add eggs one at a time to make sure each will emulsify properly with the fat in the butter. Adding eggs en masse may cause the emulsification to fail.

Chill out

Carefully follow recipes that call for chilling cookie dough. This process is important for making sliced and shaped cookies. By chilling, the dough becomes more malleable for rolling and even slicing.

Use a bottom rack

Too much heat may compromise the integrity of the cookies. The food experts at Delish say to try moving cookies onto a lower rack in the oven if they aren’t retaining their shape when baked. Put an empty cookie sheet on the top rack. That will block the cookies from the most intense heat that rises to the top of the oven.

Mastering cookies takes a little patience and some trial and error. Once bakers get their feet wet, baking Christmas cookies becomes even more special.

Southwestern Traditions: Luminarias

uminarias are one of the loveliest of the old customs still followed today in the southwest.

They are small brown paper sacks, half-filled with sand, with a candle placed in the sand. On Christmas Eve, homeowners light the luminarias, helping to guide the Christ child to their homes.

Starting on the 16th of December and finishing on the 24th on Noche Buena, families in each neighborhood will take turns hosting a Posada. Posadas are re-enactments of St. Joseph and The Virgin Mary (“The Pilgrims”) seeking lodging before the birth of Christ. (In Spanish they are called: “Los Peregrinos, San José y la Virgen María”).

Every home participating in the Posada will create a live Nativity scene. The hosts of the home are the innkeepers, and the neighbor-

Photo: NewMexico.org

hood children and adults are Los Peregrinos, who must request lodging by singing a simple chant. Everyone carries small lit candles in their hands, and four teenagers of about the same height are chosen to carry two small statues of Los Peregrinos.

The head of the procession will have

a candle inside of a paper lamp shade that looks like an accordion but remains open at the top, and is called a “Farolito” or little lantern.

families return to their respective homes to have dinner. Any friend who does not have his/her own family is welcome to join the meal. Placing the Baby Jesus in the Nativity scene is the most important and final part of the Christmas Eve festivities.

On Noche Buena, December 24, everybody goes to Misa de Noche Buena at midnight. After the Mass,

oliday cheer is front and center in communities across the globe during the holiday season. This year, celebrants can make this joyous season even more special by singing some of their favorite holiday songs.

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” is a beloved holiday tune with an interesting history. Despite it now being instantly associated with the holiday season, the song does not actually allude to any holiday. Perhaps even more amusing is the fact that the song was written in California during a heat wave!

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Let It Snow!”

Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Solutions

When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm!

But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

“Jingle Bells” (Extended version)

Christmas carol spotlight: Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side, The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot.

oliday cheer is front and center in communities across the globe during the holiday season. This year, celebrants can make this joyous season even more special by singing some of their favorite holiday songs.

“Jingle Bells” is a popular holiday tune that many celebrants might be surprised to learn is more than 150 years old. Written by New England native James Lord Pierpont, “Jingle Bells” was originally published in 1857 under the title “One-Horse Open Sleigh.” Only after a friend of Pierpont’s referred to the song as a “merry little jingle” did the name “Jingle Bells” take.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago, The story I must tell

I went out on the snow, And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you’ll take the lead.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
