From The Cheap Seats A Christmas Story
By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review
Christmas was an extremely special time as I grew up … one that many of my fondest memories came from. Our family didn’t do a lot for most holidays. We might have a special dinner for Easter and there would be a small gift and maybe my favorite dinner on my birthday. Thanksgiving was a big deal and Christmas was even bigger. It usually started the weekend after Thanksgiving, when we would decorate the Christmas tree. My parents had the same huge artificial tree throughout the time when I was growing up. Putting it together was like building an erector set, inserting each branch into its designated spot. Just setting up the tree took an hour or so, and then Dad would put the lights on it. After that it was up to Mom and I to decorate it. One of our traditions was that each year I would get a new ornament. I still remember that first ornament, from 1976 when I was six years old, that featured a toy soldier in an archway. Through the wonders of Google, I was able to find that ornament in just a few minutes. By the time you read this I’ll have it hanging on the tree at my girlfriend’s house. My other ornaments aren’t as memorable as the first, though I wish I still had them. I asked Mom about them last year when Lynnette and I were decorating her tree, and Mom said I took them about 20 years ago. I don’t have them any more, so I’m guessing my ex-wife took them (probably accidentally) when we divorced a couple of years later. Though that’s a bummer, Lynnette and I have started a new
tradition of buying special ornaments together. Last year we didn’t talk about this ahead of time, but got each other “First Christmas Together” type of ornaments that will hang on the tree this year. This year we’ll be shopping for our ornaments together, and it’s something I’m really looking forward to. The leadup to Christmas wasn’t a huge thing in our household. We did a calendar of the days leading up to Christmas a few times, though I don’t remember a lot else. Mom would put presents under the tree as she got them wrapped, and I got really excited as they got there. Being far from family, we also got several packages filled with Christmas presents. When the packages came and we unpacked them, I would shake the packages with my name on them to see if they had my favorite toys — Legos had a distinct sound! Christmas started on Christmas Eve in our house. We would have a light supper and then get together and open a few smaller presents. I was one of those kids who never slept well on Christmas Eve … I was so excited to see what Santa had brought me. I always got up early – maybe 4 or 5 a.m. – and inevitably that was a special toy that I had asked for as well as a stocking filled with sweet treats, a few small gifts and a few magazines. Mom always put an orange at the bottom of my stocking to make the toe fill out. It was that orange, one year, that gave away to me that Mom and Dad were actually Santa Claus. I was in first, maybe second, grade and had seen a Tupperware citrus peeler used somewhere. My parents had gotten one more me to use (I was too young to use a knife) and once just before Christmas I had started to peel an orange – just barely made a small cut in it – when I decided I didn’t want the orange and put it back. Innocent enough, right? It was that very orange that ended up in my stocking. Uh oh! We always opened our gifts one at

a time. Mom would hand the gifts out one at a time (or tell me which ones to give people) and we would watch each other enjoy what we had. It was a really special day! As an only-child, I usually got a lot of gifts – opening them would take a few hours sometimes, as we needed a little time to open the packages and then the boxes they were in so we could see what it was. After we opened our presents, we usually had a nice dinner. Though we were usually away from family, that wasn’t always the case. A few times we traveled to central Florida, where my grandparents spent about half the year in the same home that my parents live in now. I’ve also visited my parents several times at Christmas since I’ve been an adult. Christmas in Florida just feels weird. As someone that’s lived my entire life in climates where winters bring snow, it’s odd to celebrate a holiday where tradition calls for snow and sleighs when it’s 70 degrees. As I indicated briefly a few paragraphs ago, last year was Lynnette and I’s first together. We talked a little before the holiday a few weeks before it happened and decided to do a couple of special things together, including exchange stockings. Her family takes its faith in God very seriously (as do I), so attending Christmas Eve church service with her family was a given. They also have a tradition of singing Christmas carols around the piano on Christmas Eve, which I enjoy. We exchanged gifts with her family after that and then exchanged our gifts on Christmas morning and called my Mom and Dad before enjoying Christmas dinner with her family and some family friends. While I miss Christmas with my parents, having a new family to share the holiday with these past two years has been incredible. Here’s hoping your holiday season is as festive and meaningful as I know mine will be.
Santa’s helpers remind Iowa children to send their Santa letters early this year DES MOINES – Every year, millions of children write letters to Santa. When Santa can’t get to everything on a kid’s wish list, he sometimes forwards requests to helpers at the U.S Post Office through its Operation Santa program. In 2013, just 17 post offices across the country took part in Operation Santa. One of the receiving areas for these letters is the Des Moines, Iowa, Post Office located on 2nd Avenue. The stacks of mail that arrive for Santa come from children across the nation. “This is an important, long standing tradition that we are so proud to carry on,” said Patricia Kuhns Howell, post office volunteer and Santa letter coordinator. “The amount of letters has been decreasing in recent years – just 600 were received last year - and we want children and their parents to know that if they write to Santa, they will receive a response.” The Postal Service began receiving letters addressed to Santa Claus more than 100 years ago. In 1912, Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized local postmasters to let employees and citizens respond

to send a Santa letter. Children or parents can simply address their letter to the attention of one of the following: Santa Claus or The North Pole, c/o Des Moines, IA Post Office, 1165 2nd Avenue. Drop the letter in the nearest mailbox or at your local post office. • If you want a response, provide your address. Each year, Santa’s helpers are unable to respond to hundreds of letters because there is no address. Children should provide their first name (last name is not required) and complete address including the city, state and zip code. • Don’t send money or candy. Santa won’t need money or candy and bulky items could damage the post office machines and are messy if they get crushed.

to these letters. That program later became known as Operation Santa. Today, a dedicated group of Santa’s helpers at the Des Moines Post Office are carrying on the tradition of responding to each child’s letter. “Many letters we receive peek into the struggles of families just trying to keep their heads above water. Yet, many of those still ask for simple things and for gifts for people other than themselves,” said Kuhns Howell. “We hope people will remember that although there are a lot of ways to connect with Santa, nothing can replace the impact of a personalized, hand written letter.” Children who want to send a letter to Santa this year should keep these tips in mind: • You don’t need a postage stamp

Last-minute holiday shopping tips Holiday shopping season typically begins the day after Thanksgiving and extends all the way to Christmas Eve. While that’s a considerable amount of time for shoppers to find gifts for everyone on their shopping list, many people will still find themselves putting holiday shopping off until the last minute. In certain ways, last-minute holiday shopping is easier than ever. Thanks to online retailers who can ship products overnight, men and women who delay their holiday shopping have more options at their disposal than they did before the arrival of the Internet. And unlike the days of yore when the best deals were largely exclusive to Black Friday, some shoppers find that competition between online retailers
and traditional brick-and-mortar stores is so great that deals can be found regardless of when they begin shopping. But while waiting until the last minute to begin holiday shopping may not be as risky as it used to be, shoppers may still benefit by sticking to certain strategies so they can find the perfect gifts without breaking the bank.
shopping in December is a recipe for debt in January, and no shopper wants to begin the new year weighed down by consumer debt.

tion to go over budget. If a gift you had in mind is available but more
The blissful image of a young child or a significant other receiving a pet as a holiday gift compels many shoppers to give pets as gifts come Christmastime. But pets are unlike any other holiday gift, as pets are living things that require food, shelter and attention. Because pets are unlike video games, diamond pendants and other popular holiday gifts, shoppers must consider a host of factors before deciding whether or not to give pets as gifts this holiday season.
than you can spend, look for something else. Overspending on holiday
to acclimate to their new environments, so avoid giving a new pet to a family about to embark on a lengthy holiday vacation. Families staying home for the holidays and taking time off from school or work may be most capable of welcoming a furry new addition into their homes. If you want to give a loved one a pet for the holidays, delay giving the gift until things have returned to postholiday normalcy.
Finances
Living situation
Allergies Some people, including many who profess to love pets, cannot have pets of their own because of allergies. Accord-
ing to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, as many as three in 10 people in the United States have pet allergies. Cat allergies are twice as common as dog allergies, but gift givers who intend to give their loved ones a dog should still confirm if the recipient has a dog allergy before adopting or purchasing the animal. The AAFA also warns against looking for pets that are described as “hypoallergenic.”
While some people are more sensitive to certain breeds of cats and dogs than others, there is no guarantee that a particular breed of cat or dog will not cause an allergic reaction.
Timing There are good times to give pets as gifts, while other times can be tough. Pets need time and routine
Pets can be expensive, especially in the first year. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the firstyear cost of owning a dog is nearly $1,300, while the first-year cost of cat ownership exceeds $1,000. These estimates include the cost of food, shelter and medical exams, among other things. Before giving a pet to a child, consult the child’s parents to determine if the family can afford adding a pet to the family. If parents need some financial help to afford the pet, include supplies like bowls, leashes and toys in your holiday gift. Pets can make for wonderful gifts. But such gifts should only be given after careful consideration of a host of factors.
Stocking stuffers for athletes and sports enthusiasts
Gifts comes in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes the best gifts are those that come in small packages. Though some people pore over their holiday shopping lists for weeks, it’s not uncommon for even the most devoted holiday shopper to overlook stocking stuffers, which can be just as difficult to find as larger gifts. When shopping for stocking stuffers, consider the recipient’s interests. For example, athletes and sports enthusiasts would undoubtedly love a gift that reflects their loyalty to a favorite team or their devotion to a particular sport. Holiday shoppers who have a sports-crazed super-
fan or accomplished athlete on their shopping lists may want to consider the following items when looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season. Sports memorabilia: Sports fanatics sometimes double as collectors who are always on the lookout for new memorabilia to display. Such collectibles may include bobbleheads, cards, ticket stubs and signed photographs or equipment. Rare memorabilia may be beyond many gift-givers’ means, but there are still plenty of impressive items that can fit into any holiday gifting budget. Game tickets: Give sports fans a chance to cheer on their fa-

Shopping during off-peak hours can help last-minute shoppers make efficient use of the limited time they have to buy gifts for their loved ones. Visit stores early in the morning or late at night, or schedule a midweek afternoon shopping trip so you aren’t spending what little time you have left waiting on lines or hunting for parking. Shoppers who wait until the end of the holiday shopping season to begin their searches for holiday gifts can still find great gifts without going broke.

National chains and big box retailers are renowned for rolling out great deals during the holiday season, but such stores may have very limited or unimpressive inventory left by the time lastminute shoppers begin shopping. Local retailers are often incapable of slashing prices as significantly as their larger competitors, and that may mean they have more extensive inventories available throughout the holiday shopping season. In addition, shoppers who stick with local

Things to consider before giving pets as gifts
Shoppers who plan to give a pet to someone they don’t live with, whether that person is a niece or nephew or a girlfriend or boyfriend, should first consider and/or confirm the recipients’ living situation. Landlords may forbid apartment dwellers from having pets, so it’s best to confirm with your loved one whether his or her lease allows pets before adopting or buying the animal. If you don’t want to spoil the surprise or you cannot confirm if a loved one’s living situation is pet-friendly, don’t adopt or buy the animal.
Shop During Off-Peak Hours

Stay Within Your Budget Even last-minute shoppers have holiday shopping budgets. But it can be harder for lastminute shoppers to stick to their budgets because they have less time to comparison shop and hunt for deals. As the holiday shopping season winds down, resist the tempta-

vorite teams in person. Find a home game that will not require the recipient to travel too far, or if you want to splurge, include transportation with the tickets to an away game. Secondary market ticket-seller StubHub is a reliable resource that guarantees tickets sold on its site are legitimate, removing any doubt ticket market buyers may have. Fan gear: Sports fans can never have enough gear to show off their team pride. Everything from mugs to hats to authentic team jerseys makes for great stocking stuffers. In addition, look for pennants or t-shirts that feature team names or logos. Today just about any item comes emblazoned with sports team names. If you can’t find a particular item, it may be possible to order it directly from a team or retailer or have it customized. Sports equipment: Athletes may benefit from updated equipment. Determine if the athletes on your gift list have any gear that needs replacing. Parents, coaches or even teammates may offer recommendations regarding which equip-
a
a
ment your loved one needs. If you don’t know a catcher’s mitt from a tennis racket, stuff the stocking with a gift card to a sporting goods store. Magazine subscription: Sports fans often enjoy reading up on their favorite players and keeping abreast of team or industry news. Magazine subscriptions are generally inexpensive and new subscriptions often come with free gifts as well. Winner’s trophy: For the sports fan who has missed out on getting his or her own trophy, have one made up as a stocking stuffer gag gift. It is certain to bring a laugh and hold a prime spot on the shelf with other sports memorabilia.

Let video game ratings help guide holiday gift purchases Come the holiday season, millions of people will be flocking to stores to shop for gifts for their friends and loved ones. Video games have long been some of the most popular holiday gifts to give, and this year figures to be no different than years past. The assortment of video games is so diverse that consumers may not know where to begin their shopping excursions. Gaining a greater understanding of the video game rating system can ensure shoppers they find ageappropriate games for the youngsters on their holiday shopping lists. Video games are rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The ESRB is an independent, self-regulatory organization that assigns age and content ratings, enforces industryadopted advertising guidelines and ensures responsible online privacy principles for computer and video games in the United States, Mexico and nearly
all of Canada. The ratings provided are concise and help shoppers make informed decisions based on the content in video games. According to the ESRB, the ratings have three parts: 1. Rating categories suggest age appropriateness. 2. Content descriptors indicate content that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. 3. Interactive elements inform about interactive aspects of a product, including the users’ ability to interact; the sharing of users’ locations with others; the sharing of personal information with third parties; the completion of in-app purchases of digital goods; and/or level of restriction of internet access. This rating system was derived in 1994 after various child development and academic experts were consulted. Other rating systems also were considered, and the ESRB
Gadgets make great gifts come the holiday season. Children may want the latest must-have video games, and many adults scour store advertisements for the newest televisions, tablets, smartphones, and other gadgets to include among their own most wanted lists. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the holiday season is typically a record-setting time for consumer spending on tech gifts. The CEA notes that roughly $34 billion was spent in 2015 on tech gifts, and that number figures to grow during the 2016 holiday season. The holiday season is a time when consumers buy tech gifts for their loved ones, but it’s also a time when they splurge on items for themselves. Technology gifts are popular, but these purchases require some research prior to swiping a card at the checkout counter. Consider this advice before gifting any gadgets this holiday season. Check product reviews. Use resources such as Consumer Reports to read up on the reputations of certain products and brands. Avoid purchasing products that have no established track record. Also try to read reviews from third-party
sites rather than those posted on manufacturer websites. Independent reviews may be more forthcoming than customer testimonials. Speak with an educated retailer. Visit a store before making any purchases to learn more about the inner workings of the product you plan to buy. Discover its attributes, advantages, disadvantages, and what others are saying about it. The salesperson may have his or her own opinion on the item and may calm any nerves you have. Niche retailers tend to have knowledgeable sales staff and can be assets when comparison shopping. Determine if the gift is ageappropriate. It may be tempting to purchase children the latest and greatest tech gifts because all of their peers may be getting similar items. But first determine if certain items are age-appropriate. Remember, many tech gifts, such as tablets and smartphones, open children up to the world of social media. So if you buy such products, make sure you have turned on the privacy and safety features available before giving the item to your loved one. If you are
ally suitable for all ages. There may be minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence. Mild language may be infrequent. E 10+: Content in games rated Everyone 10+ is appropriate for gamers ages 10 and up. The games may contain cartoon, fantasy or mild violence. Mild language and/or minimally suggestive themes also may be present. T: Teen games are generally suitable for ages 13 and up. These games may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and some strong language. M: Games deemed as Mature are generally suitable for gamers ages 17 and up. In such games, there is a high propensity for intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and strong language. A: Adults-only games have content suitable for adults ages 18
and up. Graphic sexual content, prolonged scenes of intense violence, and gambling with real currency may be depicted or available in these games. RP: Games that are marked Rating Pending have not yet received a final ESRB rating. Usually this verbiage is only used in marketing materials, and the rating will be updated once the product hits the market. Along with the general rating, the ESRB uses content descriptors to further break down the type of content one can expect in the games. These can include everything from references to alcohol to fantasy violence to sexual themes to tobacco references. Again, these content descriptors will offer a concise way to assess if a game is appropriate for a particular gamer. Video games are popular holiday gifts. Game ratings can help guide consumers to make smart choices so that gamers of all ages can enjoy their gifts this season.
can time your purchases accordingly. Put the product through your own test run. Try a product out for yourself to get a feel for it and its attributes. Handson knowledge may be the best type when gifting tech items. Just keep in mind that many retailers have a reboxing or restocking fee on tech products. If the item fails to meet
your expectations and you plan to return it, it may cost you a percentage of the price. The popularity of tech gifts makes them one of the most widely exchanged categories of presents during the holiday gift-giving season. With research and knowledge, consumers can find the perfect gifts to light up their loved ones’ faces.
