Original Valley PENNYSAVER • December 15, 2012

Hello Again, December 15, 2012 Last night I was caught between a rock and a hard spot. About 10:00 when I was locking the kitchen outside door, the doorbell rang. I pulled the curtain back to see who was there and a strange fellow dressed in a green suit, topped with a pointy bright red hat was standing there with his back to me looking at the garage door.

I didn’t know whether to unlock the door or not but remembered the outer screen door would still be latched. With that, he turned facing me with a great ear-to-ear smile and said “Greetings, Sir.” I instantly realized he would create no disturbances. I unlatched the door and stepped out into the portico.

“What can I do for you, sir?” I asked. His answer nearly bolted me over. “Sir,” he said. “I am the head teamster of Santa’s Christmas Gift Sled and we are faced with an overwhelming catastrophe.” Still half stunned, I asked, “Who is the ‘we’ you are referring to?” and he said, “Santa and me, as well as the rest of his staff.”

“You see, sir, Santa’s entire reindeer team did not get their flu shot this fall and right down to Rudolph, every one of them is too sick to pull Santa’s sled. Santa said to tell you, or rather ask you, if he could use your bright three-wheeled cycle to pull his sled this year?”

After a moment or two I said yes, but how could he possibly use it? It has hydraulic brakes and not air brakes and uses gasoline. He replied, “Santa has already figured that out. He had our blacksmith shop build an air hook and whenever he needs to stop, he will toss it out. As far as the need for gasoline fuel, you have to remember he will be driving downhill most of the time when he leaves the North Pole and he always looks forward to stopping at Stewarts for their dark chocolate ice cream.”

With definite trepidation, I agreed Santa could use my three-wheeler and backed it out of the garage, turned it around facing William Street. With that, the reindeer herdsman jumped on without turning left or right, went straight up into the sky and out of sight. With that I ran over to our lawn to get a better view and all I could see heading due north was a white jet stream, climbing above the clouds.

I imagine its motor will make more noise than the reindeer so if you listen carefully Christmas Eve, you may hear it landing on your roof. I just hope Santa’s air hook invention works. And that’s the way it happened, given a little bit of blarney or more. Possibly next spring when the sun comes back to the Mohawk Valley, you will get to see the three-wheeled red Spyder again.

I just checked the date on my cell phone. By the time you read this we will have less than two weeks to prepare for Christmas morning. Can you or would you ever have imagined that citizens of this most wonderful, bountiful nation would try to reduce the day of Jesus’ birth to have no more meaning than any of the national holidays set aside to honor George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Martin Luther King? Does this mean that Jesus Christ has been reduced to their level or have they been raised to an equal position to Jesus? Now should they be thought equal to the creator and savior of this world? Are they now gods?

Can you imagine an American soldier surrounded by the enemy in a foxhole over in a foreign country praying, “Dear George Washington,” or “Dear Abraham Lincoln,” or “Dear Martin Luther

Original Valley PENNYSAVER • December 15, 2012

Page 7

King, please save me? The enemy is all around me. I do not want to die. I want to go home to America and my family.”

Frankly, it would seem to me to be more intelligent to believe in Santa Claus with his team of reindeer and Rudolph with his red nose than to accept the nonsense in believing we should believe Christ Day - Christmas Day - should be replaced by the meaningless and heartless word - holiday.

Even though time is running out, we can still buy a gift or even make one and give it to a friend and loved one. It will say, “Merry Christmas and I do care.”

Always looking for a chance to make a quick buck, if I offer the red Spyder at auction as the three-wheeler Santa (a world renown celebrity) used at Christmas, do you think I might make a killing?

Before you accuse me of penning a batch of blarney — maybe you should watch for and listen and hear what mode of transportation Santa is using this year.

Writing all of this serious chatter is very exhausting so if you don’t mind, I will intentionally fill in with a little blarney.

My wife was complaining to her friend — the one we call the “cookie thief” — that I am becoming quite forgetful. “He forgets his coat, keys, and even wallet. I sent him down to the Little “M” for some lemons, and I don’t know if he’ll remember to come home.”

As the cookie thief was sympathizing with my wife, I burst into the kitchen yelling, “You’ll never guess what happened to me! I won the million-dollar lottery!” “See,” my wife said, “He forgot the lemons.”

This year, my wife suggested that we do not send material gifts to our 23 children, grandchildren, and greats. “What should we send?” I asked. “Something we earned and treasure,” she answered. “Money.”

The only problem I could see — is everyone would be receiving too little or too much which depends upon who is sending or who is getting.

The good Lord has already given me a wonderful Christmas gift. My wife is back home and her health seems to be improving every day. I wish I could thank all of you personally for your loving wishes, cards, food, and prayers.

Thank you, and God be with you. My prayer for you is that you will receive all that you need to be both healthy and happy, and that your prayers based on God’s will — will be answered.

Remember to say hello to your neighbors. If you send up a prayer for them, it will be heard.

Remember the old saying, “It is more blessed to give than receive.”

Fred Lee and the Lee Family P.S. If you are thinking about a New Year’s Resolution, there is already one in the lay-a-way department waiting to be used. “Be resolved to locate a bible-teaching, Christ-believing church this year and attend.”

2012 Elves Night Out

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin It’s that time of year again and Santa and the elves were out in full force despite the steady rain in Canajoharie and Palatine Bridge on Friday evening, Dec. 7.

“It was a great evening, even though we had rain,” commented CanajohariePalatine Chamber of Commerce President, Dolores Jacksland. “I think the merchants were all happy. There were people in all of the stores, the streets were filled and the museum was filled.”

Elves Night Out has been taking place in the village of Canajoharie for many years.

According to Jacksland, the caroling around the tree has been taking place since WWI, when it became a tradition in honor of the military.

“I’m quite sure Barbara Spraker was responsible for promoting that,” Jacksland acknowledged. This year it had special meaning to us because the date corresponded with Pearl Harbor.”

Jacksland said the addition of the elves occurred about 15 years ago.

This year another new feature was added with the ringing of local church and old school bells.

The event began with the ringing of hand bells by Canajoharie Central School District Superintendent Deborah Grimshaw and School Board Vice President Eric Trahan in Canajoharie’s village park, followed by church bells sounding from Stone Arabia through Palatine Bridge and then moving throughout Canajoharie from one building to another.

“When the bells rang it gave you goose bumps!” admitted Jacksland. Folks on the street all stopped and listened as the old West Hill School Bell rang. “It’s been about 20 years since the West Hill bell rang!”

Jacksland declared.

Another bell heard from was the old historic school in Palatine Bridge.

Also added to this

Janine Nelson and Sue Leavitt manned the hot chocolate and cookies table at the Arkell Library and Museum, where children enjoyed a visit with Santa and the opportunity to hand make crafts and cards.

Whatchamacallits This tool is known as a fire kindler and once was an instrumental part of colonial American homes. The end was soaked in kerosene and used to start the fire in a wood stove.

Wood was once the major form of fuel and cooking. The average colonial family used 30-40 cords per year, the equivalent of one acre of woods, to heat their homes and to cook their meals.

Wood was the material most available and most easily shaped, thus it could be used to make a wide variety of manufactured goods. Even small machines such as lathes and printing presses were almost entirely constructed out of wood.

Colonial-type wood stoves were huge, hot, and very smoky. Because of this they

This tool is from the collection of Willis “Skip” Barshied.

were very unpractical yet were the only option the early settlers had. These stoves were used until circa 1790s, when other successful inventions became realistic alternatives.

Dying fires were kept alive

through the night as burning coals and embers until very early the next morning, when they had to be stoked and fed again. And when a stove went out and needed to be relit, it was this fire kindler that people used.

Dollars and sense

by David Uffington Credit and debt myths and truths There are a halfdozen myths about credit and debt that can get consumers into trouble: Myth 1: It’s easy to fix bad credit. Truth: Negative information can stay on your credit report for as long as specified by the Fair Credit Reporting Act law. A simple delinquency on a credit card can stay on your credit report for a whopping seven years, and that starts 180 days after the account first becomes delinquent.

A bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 10 years.

Myth 2: Bankruptcy gets rid of all your debts. Truth: Stu-

dent loans, child support, alimony and any taxes you owe that are less than three years old are not discharged by bankruptcy. Addition-ally, not everyone is automatically approv-ed for bankruptcy. Since 2005 you’ll have to pass a “means test” to see if you qualify for bankruptcy or will receive a repayment plan instead.

Myth 3: A debt collector can’t contact other people, such as your neighbors or family.

Truth: They’re allowed to call others to try to determine where you live and work and what your phone number is. Additionally, they can call you at work unless you notify them that

you don’t want calls there.

Myth 4: A divorce decree will relieve you from your debts.

Truth: Since the creditor didn’t have input about how the divorce settlement was written, they depend on the original contract to determine who pays what and when. No matter what the divorce decree says, if you don’t adhere to the terms of the original contract, the creditor can report you delinquent if you don’t pay.

Myth 5: Creditors can’t change your interest rate. Truth: With just 45 days notice, a creditor can make significant changes to your account agreement, including raising

your interest rate.

This can happen if your credit score drops, even if you’ve continued to make payments correctly to that creditor.

Myth 6: Once your car is repossessed, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Truth: That depends whether there is a balance due after the car is sold at auction. If the car doesn’t sell for enough to clear the whole amount due, you are obligated for the balance.

Before you sign up for credit, learn about your rights and obligations. Go online to credit.com for information on consumer credit. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

by Larry Cox Mystery cat Q: I found a ceramic cat’s head in a junk shop in Dallas, and I am not quite sure what it was used as. It obviously mounted on the wall, and the cat’s mouth has a small hole. — Betty, Spring Branch, Texas A: You have a string holder, an item often found in kitchens throughout the 1930s and ‘40s.

The one in my grandmother’s kitchen featured a monkey design. Values vary depending on style and condition, but often sell in the $20 to $45 range.

Q: I recently inherited a collection of books from a distant relative who was a professor of literature at a major university.

Although several of the books are extremely interesting, I am curious about one in particular: “Prufock and Other Observations”

by T.S. Eliot. It was published in London in 1917 and appears to be a first edition.

— Susan, Helena, MT A: This was T.S. Eliot’s first book.

According to “Collected Books: The Guide to Values” by Allen and Patricia Ahearn (Putnam Press), your book, if it is, indeed, a first edition and in decent shape, is worth in

the $8,500 to $10,000 range.

Q: My grandmother was Canadian, and I found a commemorative plate in her estate. It was issued in 1927 and is the Canadian Jubilee issue. The identification mark indicates that it was made by Wedgwood and Sons and imported by Nerlich & Company of Toronto. Do you have any idea of how much it is worth? — Stan, Providence, RI A: It took a little effort to track down information about this plate.

After searching through several guides, I finally found it referenced in “Bergesen’s Price Guide of British Ceramics” by Victoria Bergesen, who indicates it is worth about $100 USD. Q: About 10 years ago, I found several Pez dispensers in a thrift store. They are all Looney Tune characters: Western Sam, Movie Daffy, Western Bugs Bunny, French Tweetie and African Taz. I paid a buck each for them and hope they have increased in value. — Sean, Albuquerque, NM A: Your dispensers are each worth in the $3 to $5 range. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

by Larry Cox Fountain Pen Q: I recently found a fountain pen at a garage sale. I purchased it for a dollar, but think it could be worth much more. It is a Sheaffer “Lifetime Balance,” black with what appears to be flakes in its design. I was told that it was originally a graduation present. — Steve, Rio Rancho, NM A: Your pen was issued in about 1934 and in excellent-togood condition should be worth in the $250 to $350 range.

Q: I have a small collection of Louis L’Amour books, some authorized editions

and others published in paperback for the first time. Are they worth anything? — Bonnie, Granite City, IL A: Louis L’Amour was born in North Dakota in 1908.

When he died 80 years later in Los Angeles, 89 of his books were still in print. To find out the value of your books, you should contact some of the excellent used- and rare-book dealers in St. Louis.

If you have access to a computer, go to www.abe.com, and type in the titles for current values. Pay close attention to editions and whether the book is autographed by the

Q: I recently purchased an original poster from “The Fleet’s In” starring Clara Bow. It is in excellent condition and still retains its original bright colors.

Any idea of how much this might be worth? — Steve, Brighton, CO A: This was a film released in 1928. A one sheet from this movie sold for $3,500 about 10 years ago at auction. Despite our sluggish economy, movie memorabilia has continued to grow in popularity and values are still box-office gold with collectors. For a second opinion, contact Conway’s Vintage

Treasures, P.O. Box 40962, Providence, RI 02940.

Q: We purchased an Atari Super Pong system when it was introduced a number of years ago. It is still in its original box and has four games, instructions and an AC adapter. The model is NO-C-140.

How much do you think it is worth? — Shirley, Sun City West, AZ A: I checked several used electronic shops and monitored the action on eBay, and think your Atari setup would sell in the $50 to $75 range. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Simplify your life, starting at home (NAPSA) — If your home is like many, there’s one room that just doesn’t work with the rest of the house.

To help you fix that, HGTV designer Lisa LaPorta and Pfister offer four simple solutions that you can execute in a weekend or less.

How to have a new home at the old address 1. Remove the clutter and organize your chaos. Too many pieces of furniture, accessories and small appliances create conflicting styles. That doesn’t mean you have to throw stuff out, however. You can still keep everything you own. Just don’t have everything you own out at once.

Rotate your art and furniture with the sea-

sons. Maximize your cabinet space with organizers and stackers. Put away appliances and utensils in your kitchen. Decorate with bowls of fruit and flowers.

2. Work with what you have. When picking colors and accessories, consider what you currently own and highlight the pieces you love. You can transform just about any room simply by rearranging the furniture and applying a fresh coat of paint.

3. Create your own design journal. Look through design books and magazines and tear out pictures of rooms you love and rooms you dislike. You should start to notice reoccurring preferences that can inspire you.

4. It’s time for new jewelry.

Just like adding a new piece of jewelry to your wardrobe, accessorizing the bathroom or kitchen with a new faucet and hardware can make the room feel new. The old rules about having to match

all your metals — faucets, drawer pulls, hinges, light fixtures — are gone, so get what fits your design personality.

For further facts on faucets and other easy ways to improve your home, visit www.pfisterfaucets.com.

Answers to last week’s puzzles below

Original Valley PENNYSAVER • December 15, 2012

Senior News Line

by Matilda Charles Delay claiming Social Security If you take your Social Security benefits early, you’ll be reducing by a significant margin the total amount you could receive.

• The BMO Retirement Institute has produced a report, “Retirees Not Maximizing Social Security Retirement Benefits,” that outlines some of the facts: • For 60 percent of seniors, Social Security will provide the

majority of income they’ll have during retirement.

• If you take your benefits early, you’ll receive a reduced amount each month.

For example, if you claim at age 62, you might receive $1,500.

Wait until age 66 and that amount becomes $2,000. At age 70, it would calculate as $2,640.

• If you claim early, that lesser amount stays with you for the rest of your life. (There is a 12-month period when you can pay

back all the money you’ve received and start collecting again later, at a higher rate.

But if you don’t act within that window of time, you can’t change your mind.)

• If you’re married and die first, your spouse will receive a lesser amount each month if you’ve claimed early. While you’re living, your spouse will receive up to 50 percent of the benefit, which will be smaller because you’ve claimed early.

• When it comes to asking for advice before collecting Social Security, 62 percent of seniors haven’t done

Page 43 that.

• While it’s possible to receive Social Security at age 62, the qualifying age for Medicare is still age 65. You could be stuck trying to pay for expensive health insurance with a reduced Social Security check.

Before you apply for Social Security, get advice. Call and ask that the numbers be run for you showing how much you’ll receive at age 62 as opposed to later. You’ll be surprised at the difference. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dollars and sense

by David Uffington Why your mortgage might be denied If your plan for the New Year involves getting ready to buy a home, you’ll need to make sure all your plans don’t fall apart at the last minute with a mortgage application that gets turned down. Go Banking Rates has compiled a list of 10 reasons that mortgages get rejected.

1. Too many jobs: If you’ve recently changed jobs or fields, have been unemployed or haven’t worked consistently in the past two years, your employment history could be a problem.

Some lenders insist that you’ve kept the same job, unless you were promoted.

2. Child support and alimony: If you

REAL ESTATE

don’t disclose that you make these kind of payments, the lender can find out just by calling the courthouse. These payments are considered debts and must be reported on your application.

3. New applications for credit: If you apply for new credit between the time you fill out a mortgage application and are approved for the mortgage, you’ll likely have problems.

4. Closing old credit accounts: Your credit utilization ratios and availability changes the minute you close an account. That skews the numbers lenders look at in deciding whether to give you a loan. Don’t touch old accounts.

5.

payment: If money has been given to you, don’t try to claim that you saved it. The lender will find out, and the loan will likely be denied.

6. Late dues by condo tenants: If you’re trying to buy a condo, the Federal Housing Administration insists that not more than 15 percent of the tenants be more than 60 days late in paying dues.

7. The loan is too small: If you’re seeking a loan of $50,000 or less, you might be denied a mortgage.

Making a small loan is not worth it to a lender.

8. Paying an old debt: If you had a debt go to collections long ago, and it rolled off your credit

report because of the passing of time, paying that debt now will reactivate it. Your lender will see it as recent negative activity.

9. Differing FICO scores: If you send away for your FICO score, it’s not likely that the lender will get the same number from its sources.

10.

Secondary market: If your loan is to be sold on the secondary market, the qualification standards will be stricter.

(BPT) — What would holiday shopping be without credit cards? Using credit cards wisely can help you score some good deals, and offers a layer of consumer protection that cash and debit cards can’t. Still, if you get carried away with holiday spending, the season’s “Ho, ho, ho!” can turn into “Oh, oh, oh!” come January when the bills arrive.

When holiday shopping, it’s important to find the right balance of when to use plastic and when not, and to understand your credit status before you give your cards a workout.

Fortunately, some planning and precautions can help ensure you use credit wisely this

holiday season.

Before you start using credit cards for holiday shopping, take a look at your credit score and report. Knowing your current credit status will help you better understand how much (or little) credit you can afford to use this season. When you enroll in a product such as freecreditscore.com, you are provided access to tools that can help you understand how your spending behaviors impact your credit score and report, while tracking both over time.

Once you understand your current credit status, next decided which purchases you’ll make

with credit cards. Credit makes sense for some types of purchases more than others.

payments (although you’ll pay interest, too). For smaller in-store purchases, like wrapping paper or

For example, when online shopping, a credit card offers convenience, security and consumer protections that aren’t present with debit cards.

Using a credit card for a big-ticket item, such as consumer electronics, can also help you break the cost down into more manageable, incremental

stocking stuffers, cash may be a better option.

One tip that financial planners recommend is to choose just one card for your holiday credit purchases and remove all others from your wallet. Use it for both in-person and online buying. Opt for the card with the lowest interest rate on purchases or

the one that gives you the best reward points for using the card. Using just one card allows you to better track your spending and limits the risk of identity theft or fraud if your wallet is lost or stolen while you’re shopping.

Avoid the temptation of using store cards or opening new accounts in exchange for a temporary discount. During the holidays, this type of incentive abounds, but store cards often charge higher interest rates that offset the discount you received in exchange for opening the account. And, each new account you open will cause a credit inquiry to show up on your credit report. Too many inquiries

in too short a time can lower your credit score.

Finally, pay off holiday purchases right away, rather than carrying a balance. If you won’t be able to pay off a balance within a month (or two at the most), it may be time to reassess your holiday spending and adjust your budget accordingly.

Holiday shopping can be fun and rewarding as long as you control your spending and use of credit cards. There’s no need to go into debt or damage your credit. A little planning, and understanding how each financial decision impacts your credit, can help keep the holiday season — and your financial future — bright.

Great tips for holiday gift baskets (StatePoint) — Looking for a thoughtful gift this holiday season? Give a gift basket!

Don’t be intimidated by the task — it’s easy to create the perfect gift basket for even the fussiest person.

“A food basket is a welcome gift for all occasions,” says Bonnie Tempesta, founder of the cookie company Boncora Biscotti. “You can make it as elegant, whimsical or celebratory as you want — and at whatever cost your budget allows.”

Gift baskets also offer a chance to inject some personality into a gift.

“What you choose to put in a gift basket is a reflection of who you are as a gift giver,” says Jean Thompson, Owner and CEO of Seattle Chocolates, maker of premium chocolate bars and truffles. “It’s a great way to share your good taste.”

Follow these simple tips to make unique gift baskets for everyone on your list: • Decide what you want to include before you buy the basket so you can pick the right size. No matter what size basket you use, it should be overflowing.

• If a traditional wooden basket isn’t your style, look for other vessels: a colorful paper bag, a pretty pastry box, a flower pot. The possibilities are endless — and inexpensive.

• Fill the basket with higher- and lower-priced items to keep overall costs down. Include items of varying heights to add visual interest.

• Arrange the contents around a theme, such as all things red or everything handmade or all chocolate!

• Choose foods you love or products you’re excited about trying. Chances are, if you were wowed by a treat, your gift recipient will be too.

• “Go for edibles that don’t need to be eaten right away,” says Edmond Sanctis, co-founder of Sahale Snacks. “Treats that can be nibbled and shared all season long are ideal gift basket additions.”

• Splurge on indulgences your recipient normally wouldn’t buy for him or herself.

• Add a food item that’s new or hard to find.

• Include unusual flavor combinations that can be used for snacking as well as cooking.

• Use colorful, recyclable paper, like tissue paper or shredded paper, to fluff up the contents of your basket.

• The finishing touch on a gift basket is not the shrink wrap; it`s the note. Tell your gift recipient why you chose what you did!

With these tips, you’re sure to create a gift your friends and family will appreciate.

How to save money this holiday shopping season (StatePoint) — Saving money while holiday shopping may sound impossible, but you don’t need to be a Scrooge to budget. Through smart strategizing, you can find the perfect gift for friends and family and keep your wallet intact.

Here are some tips to give you a leg up on your New Year’s financial resolutions: Just say no When it comes to purchasing warranties, there are times you can just say no.

Refusing extended warranties doesn’t strip you of all protection. Reputable manufacturers will back products for three to six months and some credit cards extend or even double manufacturers’ warranties. If you do purchase a warranty, be sure the terms are worth the cost.

Avoid layaway Layaway may sound great, but without discipline, it can be costly. If you’re using a credit card to make small payments on your layaway purchase, and you don’t pay your balance in full, you may ultimately pay both a layaway fee and interest on your credit card. And if you cancel the purchase, you could pay an additional fee too. Stick to buying what you can afford today.

Manage your money If you have trouble sticking to your shopping budget, consider using tools to help keep you honest. Traditional financial software programs, which help you set budgets and manage money, are now providing access from mobile devices.

“Consumers who go into debt from holiday shopping often do so because they are

unaware of what they have in their bank accounts and are spending unmindfully,” warns Aaron Patzer, VP of Innovation at Intuit. “Tracking your budgets and spending as you go will help you stay on track.”

Know the refund policy Not all stores offer refunds for returned items. When buying gifts, make sure you know a store’s policy before your purchase. Ask for a gift receipt so your friends and family can make exchanges or get refunds if necessary.

Use gift cards Retailers must now honor gift cards for five years from the date of issue. So find those old gift cards, and use them toward your gift purchases, even if they have “expired.” The company can send you a new card or issue the remaining balance in cash.

DIY Showing your friends and family you care about them should not put you in debt.

If the holidays will cause an unreasonable financial burden, consider making presents. From baking to knitting, to writing your loved ones poems and thoughtful letters, homemade presents can be more meaningful than the store-bought variety.

More money management tips for the holidays can be found at www.Quicken.com.

By planning ahead and making informed financial decisions this holiday shopping season, you can start 2013 on the right financial foot.

Ways to make your home festive this season (StatePoint) — Though one of the best parts of winter is getting out of the cool, crisp air and into the cozy, comfort of your home, trendsetting crafters are bringing the beauty of nature inside their houses when decorating for the holidays this year.

“This holiday season, the outdoors are in,” says Nicole Long, Manager of Inspiration for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. “Pine cones, evergreen, moss and grapevine can give your traditional décor a rustic, natural look.”

If you’re having trouble getting inspired, here are some ideas from the experts at Jo-Ann: • Dress up the entrance of your home with an especially festive look. Wire a small twig wreath to a larger grapevine wreath and then decorate with dazzling embellishments, stems and greenery.

• Give your mantel a cozy makeover by hanging knitted stockings, embellished with berries and leaves. Then fill them with gifts galore!

• Deck the halls with pictures of loved ones and celebrations past. Turn a traditional pine garland of berries and pine cones into a personal keepsake of fond memories by adding handcrafted wire frames of your favorite family photos.

• Paint pine cones red, gold, burgundy and green. Don’t be afraid to add a little glitz with a coat of clear glitter on each one. Showcase them in a simple glass container for a beautiful centerpiece or side table decoration.

• Fashion a hanging basket out of grapevine wreath. Place battery-operated lights within the basket and fill with ornaments.

• For a delicious holiday goodie bag, dip peppermint sticks in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles or chopped nuts. Place them in treat bags with ribbon then give to family and friends throughout the season.

• Print Victorian-era designs onto paper, then decoupage onto wood shapes. Glitter the edges and tie on a shiny ribbon to create a lovely, vintage-inspired ornament.

By bringing a bit of nature into your home this season, you can evoke its spirit all throughout the house.

by David Uffington Find bargains after Christmas The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is a good time to get a running start on shopping for next year’s holiday season. Retailers are eager to add a few dollars to their coffers before the end of the year, and you might be able to get a large portion of next year’s shopping done at a deep discount. At the same time, you can shop for some of the events you have coming up in 2013.

Children grow quickly, but it’s safe to buy for adults who generally have stable weight.

Jeans, sweaters, T-shirts and sweatshirts are good options for next year, as

are gloves, hats and scarves. At the same time, if you have a fastgrowing child who’ll likely outgrow what he or she is wearing before warm weather arrives, look for discounted winter gear.

Keep an eye on Offers.com for coupons and markdowns at stores such as Best Buy, Old Navy, Bloomingdales and Toys"R"Us. Note which ones are for online purchases only, and which ones are in-store. Compare the online sales to your local ads, as there won’t be any pattern to where the bargains are.

Stock up on supplies such as Christmas cards, wrapping paper, bows and tape. Look for outdoor lights, ornaments

and decorations. Stores would rather sell them at a discount than have to store them until next year. (If you’re shopping for non-holiday events that are coming up, go with solid-colored supplies such as red or gold for parties, picnics and birthdays supplies.)

Check drugstores for holiday-specific merchandise. With the holiday over, they need to move it all out via deep discounts.

If you have children with birthdays coming up soon, keep an eye on toy stores that brought in the hot items of the season.

Those same toys may now be on clearance.

Paw’s Corner

by Sam Mazzotta Find the right gifts for dogs or cats Dear Paw’s Corner: My daughter and her family have two big dogs and a cat. I like giving gifts to the pets as well as my grandkids. Do you have any suggestions?

— Tammy, via e-mail Dear Tammy: Anything that looks cozy, fun and safe for pets is a good bet. I’ve always appreciated even small gifts like a cute bandanna for my dog or small catnip toys for my cat. If you’re looking for gifts beyond stocking stuffers, here are some that most pet owners will appreciate: • Dog and cat beds: These range in price from about $15 on up to a few hundred dollars. Look for a sturdy fabric covering that is easy to brush fur from, and stuffing that can’t be easily pulled out and chewed on.

• Cat furniture: From a simple padded windowsill seat to “kitty condo” play complexes that cats can wander through, cat owners appreciate these combination scratching posts and rest areas.

• Travel safety: A number of products have come on the market to keep dogs and cats safe in the car, from traditional travel crates to adapted seat belts that keep Fido securely in his seat.

• Toys: For your daughter’s big dogs, sturdy chew toys are probably welcome. I still really like Kong chew toys, which are nearly impossible to damage and can be filled with peanut butter or another treat. For cats, something beyond the catnip mouse could include one of Bergan’s “Turbo Tracks,” in which a ball inset in a round or figure-eight track scoots around with every swipe of the paw.

No matter which gift you choose, or if you decide to just give small, inexpensive gifts to your daughter’s pets, I’m sure they’ll be appreciated. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

are always a welcome addition for anyone’s TV viewing room.

Think lonely: For bigticket items like new carpeting or furniture, it doesn’t hurt to see what kind of deals you can get from your smaller local retailers. With so many people focusing on the

holidays and shopping the malls, local retailers will be eager for sales to round out their year.

Look for unboxed electronics or demo models, but opt for the warranty just to be safe. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
