LETTER FROM THE CEO As 2020 comes to a close, it is my hope, that most of us dive into 2021 with a head full of hope and a heart full of love. There is no doubt that 2020 was a divisive year. From graduations to weddings to family celebrations and finish lines, we all missed rights of passage that brought us together. But through this struggle, we gained new ways to find connection. Some of us invented fun traditions at the dinner table, sharing a meal with those we love. And others learned to bake bread (lots of bread) to share with our neighbors. We learned to socially distance while still remaining connected (thank you Zoom). Holidays too – holidays will be a little different this year. Through this Pandemic, Mother’s has been here to serve your health and wellness and your family. The holidays are no different. We are here to help you invent new traditions and keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy. We do this with a head full of hope and a heart full of love. Happy Holidays,

Dorothy Carlow Mother’s Market & Kitchen CEO

Historical Roots

SAINT NICHOLAS REFLECTS HUMAN GOODNESS AND HOPE ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nick would soon be there.” Of course, we all recognize this famous beginning of a great Christmas Story written by Clement C. Moore. Those of us who have progressed from the first stage of “childhood” to the second stage of “mature childhood” surmise this verse as being merely the first couple sentences of a childish book about a plump, white-bearded and red-suited jolly old man who delivers presents to good children at Christmas time. This man goes by the name of Santa Claus,or formally, Saint Nicholas.

Santa Claus and that he still exists today. I don’t think I would be ultimately shocked if I saw his spirit in my house.” Intrigued by what he had said, we sought after more information about this character known as Saint Nick. “All legends have truth in them even if it isn’t historical truth. It’s human truth because it reflects certain basic ideas needed to build one’s beliefs and generosity, love, hope, and pure goodness. The spirit of Saint Nicholas reflects this,” Dr. Fecht proceeded, “But in the case of Santa Claus, it has more than a symbolic meaning. It has a case of fact, all being cloudy.” During the fourth century A.D. in what is now Asia Minor, there was a town named Myrna. In Myrna lived a Catholic bishop by the name of Nicholaus, pronounced Nicholous. He was considered a direct descendant of one of the Apostles, the founders of Christianity. During this same period, it was customary for the males to receive an inheritance. This practice was because of primogeniture. Because of this, daughters received nothing except a dowry or Hope Chest. In a Hope Chest, girls would put articles of value, jewelry, and other hand made items for the dowry. These were considered he years of hope.

Who is this mysterious red-suited man who seems to be everywhere throughout the holiday season? How is it that this man can be in two different department stores and along every city block ringing a bell at the same time? Why does he show up just after Thanksgiving and leave just a few days before the New Year’s ball drops in Times Square? Is Santa Claus only a dime-store figure, a figment of every child’s imagination? It’s not a question for most adults whether there is or isn’t, or was or wasn’t, a Santa Claus. Some adults, though, believe that there was a Santa Claus and that he still exists. When asked whether he believed in Santa, the late Moorpark College history professor Dr. Jerry Fecht answered, “Yes, I believe that there was a

16 | Organic Living Magazine

Without a dowry, girls were not marriageable. Marriage wasn’t a concept of love, but rather a concept of worth. These girls were also not able to enter a convent. For these reasons, girls without dowries were expected to hold the lowest job society could offer. One of the jobs consisted of being a scullery maid. A scullery maid did the dirtiest of all jobs in the castle or home. One position they did was the cleaning of the cinders from the fire pits. These girls were not called by their respective names, but by just “girl.” The word for girl in Latin is “ella,” so, at times, these girls were known as Cinderellas. But these girls lacked the conveniences of fairygodmothers to magically give them importance. Or were they lacking?

Bishop Nicholaus wanted to help people who were alone, poor, abandoned, without a family, and without respect from society. Among them were also street kids about homes, students, and sailors. Because of the church’s rules, Nicholaus could not just give away “God’s” money, but he had an idea. He would climb the roofs of houses at night and drop gold coins and medallions into the cinders down through the fireplaces. When the girl would clean the cinders from the fireplace, she would find these gold coins and medallions. The legend of Saint Nicholaus was born. Nicholaus did this so much that his story grew throughout the land. He became the patron Saint of all impoverished girls, street kids, students, and sailors. Saint Nicholaus was a martyr, forced to wear red, and eventually, he was killed. He wore a long beard, and his hat was that of a bishop; tall and keen, with the color of red. He was a favorite among the seafaring peoples because of his great patronage of sailors. The spirit of Saint Nicholaus spread throughout the sailing populations and kids, and sailors passed his story through generations. Norway 1905 illustration

As a result, the belief in Saint Nicholaus grew widely throughout Europe and Asia. Among these countries were Italy, Portugal, Holland, and Spain. The Italian sailors called him “Sonta Nicholous.” The Portuguese Sailors called him “Santa Niclaus.” When the Spanish came to Holland, he was, by this time, finally called Santa Claus.

St. Nicholas illustration 1873

Saint Nicholas day was originally the 8th of December and began the Christmas season. This day is similar to the day after Thanksgiving, which happens to be the worst day of the year for shopping, but everyone does it anyway. The psychology of Christmas shoppers is a story in itself. This time of year is now dedicated to the Scandinavian goddess Jule, pronounced Hule. Jule’s holiday replaced Saint Nicholas Day. “This may not be accidental,” Dr. Fecht says, “For the church fathers were good at shifting things around to cover up paganism and to keep people from going back to their Pagan beliefs.” Historically there was a Santa, and spiritually, there still is. Millions of children throughout the world still believe that Santa Claus will return and leave his charitable gifts the night before Christmas. For another year, his spirit lives on. In 400 A.D. Saint Nicholas was generous, loving, good, and he gave hope. In 2020, sixteen-hundred years later, he has not changed, even though technology has. One would think because of the advancement of technology, children would, through generations, have transformed Santa’s sleigh into an airplane or even a spaceship. To the contrary, Santa still flies in an old Viking boat with skis and a strong reindeer team. Dr. Fecht sums it up perfectly. “In the fine line of what we see and what we believe, is the matter of perception.” Believe in the spirit of Santa, and the spirit of Santa will believe in you.

This article is dedicated to the memory of Gerald “Jerry” Fecht, Ph.D. (1938-2017). Known to his students as “Dr. Jerry,” Dr. Fecht was an inspirational professor of history at Moorpark College. Originally published in the Moorpark College Reporter in 1985 and written by Mother’s Vice President of Marketing, Brandon Rowe, this background story of Santa Claus is slightly modified for the present time. “I hated history before I took a class with Dr. Jerry,” noted Brandon. “He inspired me to major in American History, which led to working in Hollywood and then ultimately finding my creative place in marketing.”

VEGAN SUBSTITUTIONS If you’re vegan or even vegetarian, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the meat-and-dairy heavy holiday menus that dominate the season. These dishes feel integral to the season for many people but remain inaccessible due to animal-based significant ingredients. Some people may skirt around this by making new and unique vegan dishes to replace the old holiday staples. However, many others may want to stick to the comfort of traditional

dishes while making them vegan-friendly. The great news is that there are more and more fantastic vegan substitution products and ingredients every year. These make it easy for you and your family to make entirely plant-based holiday recipes. At Mother’s, we believe that you shouldn’t have to skip out on the classic holiday dishes and desserts just because you’re vegan! Here’s a simple guide to help navigate your vegan menu conversions this holiday season.

Cheese

Vegan cheese has struggled to find its way in the past, but these days there is plenty of quality and delicious brands that you can use in any recipe. One of the best in the business is Daiya. This brand sells a wide assortment of vegan cheeses, from cheddar slices to mozzarella shreds. Another vegan cheese giant is Miyoko’s, which sells highly realistic-looking rounds of vegan mozzarella and other cheeses. Kite Hill sells a cashew-based vegan ricotta cheese, perfect for whipping up lasagna on a cold night.

Butter

Meat

Never before have vegan meats tasted so much like...meat! In the last few years, great new staples such as Impossible and Beyond Meat have brought highly realistic vegan ground beef to stores near you, including Mother’s Market & Kitchen! There are also always delicious plant-based products such as Field Roast Italian Sausage and Sweet Earth Benevolent Bacon. For a vegan alternative to turkey this Thanksgiving, try out the Field Roast Celebration Roast.

Eggs

In most baked goods, eggs serve he purpose of being a binding agent. You can often replace them with other ingredients entirely, such as extra soft tofu or applesauce. Anothertried-and-true trick that may work better in savory dishes is aquafaba.If you would rather use a direct vegan egg replacer, the good news is there are plenty of these too! Just pick up a carton of Just Egg or Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer.

CHARCUTERIE BOARD Charcuterie boards have grown in holiday season popularity year after year, with new and fresh ideas for putting one together refreshing the base concept. These curated collections of well-crafted meats, cheeses, and side-adornments get back to food basics and help us appreciate the beauty in simple, delicious food. “Charcuterie” is a word that means “cooked flesh” in French and was used in the 15th century to describe shops that sold pork products preserved using ancient methods. Often, the peasantry frequented

these shops, so they were associated with charcuterie for a long time. It wasn’t until relatively recent history that people from all walks of life became interested in charcuterie and putting together a beautiful board. Eating good cheeses and meats with specific wine pairings is a practice dating back to Ancient Rome, and today, you have the food-and-wine-pairing world at your fingertips. But if you need some help figuring out where to start, here is our guide for how to create the perfect charcuterie board!

Every charcuterie board begins with good cheeses. It is best to have hard and soft cheeses with varying sharpness levels and flavor profiles. You can organize these cheeses on one side on the board, moving from hard to soft, or separate them with hard cheeses on one side and soft on the other. Don’t forget to include the appropriate knives. Not sure which cheeses to select? We’ve chosen: • Saint Andre Brie • Ponche Leon Manchego • La Bonne Vie Camembert • Sierra Nevada Bella Capra Chevre For meats, you can get a variety of flavors and textures. These meats are easy to buy pre-cut. Just take them out of the package, fold them, and place them in rows in front of the cheeses. Try these: • Creminelli Fine Meats Artisan Calabrese and Sopressa • Creminelli Fine Meats Artisan Prociutto Every board needs a variety of meat-and-cheese vehicles. We are loving: • Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps Cranberry and Hazelnut Crackers • Firehook Garlic Thyme Mediterranean Baked Crackers • Ines Rosales Spanish Sweet Olive Oil Tortas The last piece of the puzzle is the flavorful extras such as: • Mother’s Organic Nuts Selection • Organic Fruits Selection • Organic Olive Bar Selection • Fresh Organic Herbs

Create Your Own

HOT CHOCOLATE BAR With more staying in and less going out this holiday season, it’s more important than ever to make the inside of your home festive. One such way to do this is by building your own hot chocolate bar. While it might seem time-consuming at first, setting up a hot chocolate bar can be relatively easy and fun! Gather Your Ingredients & Materials The first thing to do is to gather your ingredients. Start with the essentials to make the hot chocolate itself. While these necessities can vary based on your recipe, he most common ingredients include milk, cocoa powder, semisweet chocolate chips, and granulated sugar. You can also buy a premade hot chocolate mix if you don’t want to spend time making hot chocolate from scratch every time you crave it. Then, add marshmallows and whipped cream to your cart. From there, it’s up to you as to how fun you want your hot chocolate bar to be. Other topping options to include are premade chocolate spoons, candy canes, crushed peppermint, sprinkles, chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup, and cinnamon sticks. Also, while at the store, don’t forget to pick up tongs and scoops for the toppings if you don’t already have tools that will work.

Create Your Setup Once back home, it’s time to set up your hot chocolate bar. Look around your kitchen for various trays, plates, and clear glasses or jars that you can use to store all the toppings. You will need mugs and spoons too, of course! Lastly, while not required, adding a chalkboard sign or letterboard to call out the “Hot Chocolate Bar” is a festive added touch. Rearrange these items until you figure out the perfect setup and add your ingredients to the various trays, plates, glasses, and jars. Enjoy With your hot chocolate bar setup complete, it’s time to enjoy a delicious cup (or two) of cocoa!

Historical Roots

NEW YEAR’S EVE Ever since the Gregorian calendar took precedence in society, people have been celebrating the New Year on the night of December 31st and early morning of January 1st. The New Year represents many things to people; the end of a painful year, the possibility of a fresh start, however symbolic In the deepest, darkest part of winter, people find a reason to celebrate and seek new beginnings. Today, our New Year’s celebrations typically consist of champagne, confetti, metallic colors, fireworks, and watching the New Year’s ball drop in Times Square, New York City. However, you may wonder, how did people of yesteryear celebrate? In 46 BC, Julius Caesar instituted the Julian calendar, which declared January 1st as the start of the new year, closely following the sun’s position. This practice was to honor the Roman god Janus, who had two faces- one to look back towards the past and one to look forth towards the future. The Romans celebrated by holding lively parties, exchanging gifts, and decorating their homes. Not too different from how we observe the holiday today. The official date of the New Year shifted around during the Middle Ages but was officially and finally declared January 1st by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.

The New Year’s traditions that followed were often highly superstitious, which makes sense, as this was the darkest and coldest time of the year. Fireworks and kissing are done to drive away evil spirits, and some cultures avoid eating certain foods to avoid tempting fate and having anxiety about the future. Others make a habit of giving money as gifts or doing rituals for prosperity. In the American south, people eat black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread for prosperity due to their resemblances to coins, paper money, and gold. In Spanish speaking countries, people eat twelve grapes before midnight, one grape for each church bells chime. And because pigs represent good wealth and fortune, people in Austria, Cuba, Portugal, and Hungary eat pork during their celebrations. Pork is also often found on the tables of countries that celebrate the Lunar New Year, which comes later.

Until 1904, the New York New Year’s Eve observations happened at Trinity Church. They were then movedto the New York Times building after the fireworks’ ashes began causing problems on the streets below. The chief electrician of the New York Times, Walter Palmer, was formerly a maritime man.

Inspired by the seafaring tradition of dropping a time ball for sailors to adjust chronometers at sea, he came up with the brilliant idea of lighting up a large ball and dropping it at the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year. They chose Times Square for this new tradition in 1907, which was a logical conclusion to make. In the Edwardian era, Times Square was not yet the tourist attraction it is today. In the heart of the theater district, surrounded by burlesque theaters and raunchy comedy clubs, Times Square was ideal for people looking to party and have a bit of an outlandishly improper but fun time. This new spectacle of a brightly illuminated balldescending through the sky as the new year begins must have seemed thrilling to the people filling the street, as much as it does today- though, probably with a much smaller crowd. The New Year has been personified as a baby for over a century, with the old year being personified as an old man, often Father Time. This concept was greatly popularized in the early 1900’s publication the Saturday Evening Post by the famous illustrator J.C. Leyendecker. Every year for a few decades, he painted the magazine’s cover with a new and unique Baby New Year, often representing a reaction to current events.

Sometimes the baby was a fortune teller or partying, while other times, he was wearing soldier’s gear, such as during World War 1 and World War 2. The Saturday Evening Post was present in many American households due to its popularity, so Baby New Year would have been a tradition people looked forward to and an amusing representation of the brand-new start people felt they had. One piece of art that everyone even today knows and associates with New Year’s is the old Scottish song Auld Lang Syne. While the tune is a much older Scottish traditional song, the Scots-language words were penned in 1788 by poet Robert Burns. The title translates roughly “Once upon a time,” “days gone by,” “long, long ago,” or, more literally, “old long since.” The words bid farewell to the days of old, lamenting but also honoring the passing of moments and memories. Robert Burns didn’t come up with all of the lyrics, as many of them were pre-existing in the same old tune and an older version of the song from 1711 by James Watson. It quickly became a Scottish custom to sing Auld Lang Syne on New Year’s Eve, and when Scottish people immigrated around the world, they brought the song with them. This New Year brings more heavy feelings than usual, as it always does in troubled times. While we probably can’t observe New Year’s Eve the same way as we have in previous years, surrounded by friends and extended family, we still have traditions we can share. Whether it be watching the Times Square ball drop, setting off fireworks, drinking champagne, or eating some black-eyed peas, you can still celebrate in the spirit of this holiday’s history.

5 Ways to

RING IN 2021 VIRTUALLY Like every other holiday we’ve had in 2020, this New Year’s Eve is going to be different. While the safest way to ring in 2021 is by celebrating from home, that doesn’t mean the joy of this new beginning needs to be lost or that it can’t still be fun.

Here are five ideas for how you can observe New Year’s Eve virtually.

1. Set the tone like any other party. A couple of weeks before NYE, use an online invitation site to send everyone fun invitations. From there, get a party hat, noisemaker, and decorations! You can also make it into a competition to see who has the best decorations. On NYE, don’t forget to get dressed up and have your drink of choice ready to virtually cheers with your loved ones when the clock strikes midnight. 2. Reflect on your memories from this year.

Tell everyone your funniest moments and the things you learned to appreciate. You can even have everyone go through their phone pictures to remember what they did and share stories. 3. Discuss your New Year’s resolutions. What do you plan to do differently, and what do you want to continue doing? What are your new resolutions for the year ahead? Now is a good time to challenge each other to keep your New Year’s promises.

4. Make a predictions bingo card. This is a fun activity that will last throughout 2021. Have everyone contribute predictions for things that may happen next year, no matter how outlandish. Write every prediction down in boxes on a bingo card and keep the card ready at hand throughout the year. This way, you can cross off boxes when the predictions come true. Make sure everyone’s card is in a different order. If anyone gets a bingo by next New Year’s Eve, they get a prize that everyone else can contribute to, or maybe just bragging rights! 5. Countdown together. You can screen share a countdown clock in the last few minutes so everyone can countdown together and ring in the new year. Break out the champagne, sing some songs, and celebrate the end of 2020.
