Some other restaurants are quick to use pre-packaged, pre-sliced meat on their sandwiches. At Arby’s®, that doesn’t happen. We take the time to slice our delicious oven-roasted meats, fresh, at every Arby’s.

You see, we believe the fresher the slice, the better the taste.

SWEET FACTS Candy canes are very popular holiday treats and are often used to decorate Christmas trees.

That hooked shape certainly makes them whimsical and able to hang on tree boughs.

But candy canes weren’t always the curved and colorful treats they are today. In the 1700s, candy canes were nothing more than straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorate Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decided that having the ends bent to depict a shepherd’s crook and passing them out during church services would help

keep children quiet. It was not until roughly the 20th century that candy canes acquired their red stripes. Some surmise that the candy cane is shaped like a shepherd’s crook to represent Jesus Christ, who tended to his flock of supporters. Others say that it’s a “J” for Jesus. Regardless of their shape, hundreds of thousands of candy canes are now manufactured and shipped for the holiday season each year.

DEVOURING Fruitcake Facts The holidays and fruitcake have long been intertwined.

F

ruitcakes are often mocked, detested and discarded. Fruitcake is an enduring tradition, most simply because the food, well, endures. Most fruitcakes will last 8 to 12 months if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container. Jokingly, many families have said fruitcake is the only food durable enough to become an heirloom.

While mocked, it may entice a few people to know just how fruitcake has become a holiday treat.

The oldest references to fruitcake date back to Roman times. Ancient crusaders and hunters consumed

fruitcake because it was a durable commodity that could persevere on long trips. Because of its combination of ingredients, fruitcake was also a good source of energy, much the way a trail mix is good for today’s hikers.

In the 1700s, Europeans baked a ceremonial fruitcake at the end of the nut harvest. It was saved and eaten the following year at the harvest, with the hopes it would spur another successful harvest.

Fruitcake can be an integral part of a holiday celebration. Instead of giving fruitcakes as gifts, they should be served as part of the holiday feast. In addition to the sugar cookies and pies on the Christmas table, celebrants can serve slices of fruitcake featuring their favorite ingredients.

DID YOU KNOW? Many Christmas traditions are older than some celebrants might think.

T

he tradition of lighting up a Christmas tree, for example, dates back to the days before Christmas lights.

Before electric-powered twinkle lights were invented and even before electricity was discovered, people used actual candles to adorn the Christmas tree. As one can imagine, having an open flame next to a dried-out tree was risky, so it was customary to keep a bucket of water next to the tree in the case of fire. As if fire wasn’t enough, the tinsel used to decorate trees was made from strips of silver and even lead -- something that is now known to be a

health hazard to adults and children alike. Although we’ve come a long way since candles and lead, even now trees that are overly dry and decorated with lights that have frayed wires can just as easily lead to fires.

Plus, plastic tinsel can be a choking hazard for children and pets. One Christmas staple that has lost its status as a safety hazard is the poinsettia plant. It has long been thought that poinsettias are poisonous to people and animals. While there is some toxicity to the plant, it would require the ingestion of hundreds of leaves to get a toxic dose of a plant’s poison.

Staple of HOLIDAY DECOR Has a Deep History Chances are, holiday revelers will ďŹ nd themselves underneath the mistletoe at least once this holiday season.

W

hile they might know what to do when that time comes, they might not know the history of that plant above their heads.

Especially sacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow life and fertility, while also protecting against poison and serving as an aphrodisiac.

Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his successor.

Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or entryways from one room to another. During the Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits.

16 • HOLIDAY 2012

The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed.

Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eternal friendship.

History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace.

In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace.

When standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies could declare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil with a kiss.

TIPS For Getting Greeting Cards Out On Time

22 • HOLIDAY 2012

T

he majority of cards are bought in boxed packages or groupings of photo cards. Gone are the days of hand-picking individual greeting cards for every recipient. This trend toward generaltheme cards has streamlined the process and can help senders start their tasks earlier than ever before. Some people like to take advantage of post-holiday sales to stock up on greeting cards for the following year at a deep discount. This means they can write the cards out at their leisure and then simply toss them into the mailbox at the appropriate time.

Those who want their cards to arrive first will mail them within a few days of Thanksgiving. When sent domestically, it is safe to assume that cards mailed out up to 2 weeks before Christmas will arrive on time. After that point, you may be risking lateness, particularly for rural delivery addresses unless cards are sent priority. For those who need to mail cards internationally, sticking close to the end of November will ensure they arrive in a timely manner.

People who want to make a statement

Millions of greeting cards are sent out each holiday season.

Estimates suggest that 85 percent of the United States population, or roughly 250 million people, mails out greeting cards. That adds up to billions of cards going through the postal system -- and all in a relatively short period of time.

and not have their greeting cards get lost in the crowd may intentionally mail them late and lean toward wishing health and prosperity for the new year, rather than sending a card tied to a specific holiday.

This gives extra time for mailing and will set cards apart from the many others.For those who are on borrowed time, taking a photo with a personal camera and having prints made up at a pharmacy or retail store can save time.

Postage is another thing that will have to be considered when mailing out cards.

While many cards fall under the weight and size limits of a regular first class postage stamp, unusually shaped envelopes or heavy greeting cards may cost more. Rather than have them returned, it is a good idea to have at least one card weighed at the post office to ensure the right amount of postage is affixed. Some cards will be packaged with envelopes that state “Additional postage may be required� right on the box.

Greeting cards are an important component of the holiday season. Ensuring they arrive on time requires planning and sending them out with ample time to spare.

OUT-OF-THE-BOX Themes For Your Holiday Party

F

or holiday hosts, parties are a great opportunity to make the season even more festive with an event that guests won’t soon forget. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry.

Christmas sweater party: Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most outrageous holiday-themed sweater.

Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it.

Christmas costume party: Costume parties aren’t just for

24 • HOLIDAY 2012

Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Christmas Carol” or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

Christmas karaoke: For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favorite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform.

Parties are an integral part of the holiday season, when friends and family gather to celebrate and give thanks.

and empty spots. Remember to plug in the strands of lights before you begin to check for burnt-out bulbs and to adjust the spacing of lights to prevent dark spots. Think about varying light bulb sizes to add more dimension.

String an inner layer of small LED white lights to produce an inner glow on the tree before adding larger, colored lights on top to increase visual appeal. Just be sure to match the same wattage of the lights so that you do not have power surges and can prolong the life of the bulbs.

ntangling wires and wrapping them around boughs can be nerve wracking, but lighting a tree doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a chore when you follow some tips from the professionals. First, keep in mind that wrapping lights around the tree horizontally is more work and often doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce a multi-dimensional effect. Rather, string the lights from the trunk up to the top, working vertically.

This is actually how the tree decorators at Rockefeller Center in New York City do the famous tree year after year. This method helps eliminate tangled wires

TIPS When Buying A Natural Christmas Tree Many people harbor strong opinions with regard to which type of Christmas tree they want to purchase.

S

ome cannot live without a natural, freshly-cut Christmas tree, while others prefer the convenience of artificial trees. Those who insist on a natural tree might want to consider the following tips when buying what’s likely their biggest decorative item of the holiday season. * Ask when the tree was cut down. Precut trees may be cut down weeks before they’re sold. So if you’re buying a precut tree, chances are the tree was cut down much earlier than you think. This doesn’t mean the tree won’t make it through the holiday season, but a tree that was cut several weeks ago should have some of its bottom trunk removed before it’s placed in the stand. This will make it easier for the tree to consume water. * Have the tree shaken before taking it home. A tree should be shaken in a shaker before you put it in your car and bring it home. A shaker removes any debris or dead needles from the tree, which can save you the trouble of cleaning up all of those dead needles from your living room floor later on. * Have the tree wrapped before taking it home. A tree should also be wrapped in twine before taking it home. The twine should be tight enough to keep the tree’s branches from blowing in the wind when

you attach the tree to the top of your vehicle. If possible, keep the tree wrapped in twine as you place it in the stand. This makes the tree easier to control. * Choose the right location. When looking for the right place to set up your natural tree, it’s best to choose a spot that’s cool and free of drafts.

The tree should not be placed near heat sources, including appliances, fireplaces or vents, because such heat sources create a safety hazard and can make it difficult for the tree to retain moisture. There should also be ample space between the top of the tree and the ceiling. * Remember that natural trees are thirsty. Men and women who have never had a natural Christmas tree in the past might be surprised at just how thirsty natural trees get. The stand’s reservoir should have lots of water, which should never dip below the stump. If the water dips below the stump, you might be forced to cut a little more off the bottom of the trunk to ensure the tree will make it through the holiday season. That can be a hassle once the tree has been decorated, so be sure to check the water in the reservoir at least once per day to maintain adequate water levels.

lthough many of his abilities are the result of folklore, there actually was a Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas. The real St. Nicholas lived in Turkey. He was a bishop in the town of Myra during the fourth century.

According to Dutch legend, Sinter Klaas, or St. Nicholas, brought gifts at Christmas, either through an open window or down a chimney. This legend is the basis of the Santa Claus we know and love today. St. Nicholas takes on many personas depending on the country in which his tale is being told. For most, he is a plump and jolly man with a penchant for cookies and milk.

The Price of Kidney Disease on a Child

Tel: 808.593.1515 www.kidneyhi.org 1314 S. King St. Suite 1555 Honolulu, HI 96814

Elizabeth Price smiles with glee as her father pushes her on a swing. Nine year old Ellie then frolics across the lush grass behind their Tantulus home. What isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticeable behind her effervescent personality is a rare kidney disease.

Ellie was born with an extremely low level of amniotic fluid. Doctors had to use an ambu bag to stimulate her first breaths and found she had Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD), a condition leading to enlarged kidneys.

Doctors at Kapiolani Hospital were unsure about Ellieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate survival, but allowed her to go home four days after birth. They gave her medication and monitored her blood pressure. An evaluation by a pediatric nephrologist from Stanford Hospital said it was unlikely she would survive her first year without dialysis and ultimately a kidney transplant.

Today Ellie is still in and out of the hospital, as she constantly battles high blood pressure.

Medications are a fact of life for her.

Julia Price says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at her today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine how close to that edge of survival she once was. She is well aware that one day she will need a kidney transplant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine children and adults struggling on dialysis for years, while waiting for a kidney to save their life.â&#x20AC;?

One out of every seven people in Hawaii suffer from kidney disease. Join us in the fight to keep our neighbors like Ellie alive.

Please give generously to the NKFH.

SAFETY Should Be A Holiday Tradition, Too Celebrants and shoppers annually spend billions of dollars during the holiday season. With so much money exchanging hands, it is imperative for shoppers and revelers to use caution to avoid incidents that can put a damper on such a festive time of year.

36 â&#x20AC;˘ HOLIDAY 2012

T

hough many people who look forward to the holiday season for all the right reasons, there are some who see this time of year as a prime opportunity to prey on the generosity or distraction Christmas brings. Thieves know that the holidays can be hectic, and they use this to their advantage, knowing full well people tend to store high-priced items in their homes during this time of the year.

Heeding certain safety tips during the holidays can help keep you and your loved ones safe.

Stagger shopping times Being a creature of habit may not be advantageous come the holidays.

Oftentimes, potential burglars monitor neighborhoods to see when residents come and go. It can take mere minutes for a thief to get into a home and then abscond with valuables.

Triple-check your home Security experts warn that most burglaries occur during daytime hours when homes are empty. The main point of entry is on the ground floor via a rear or a side door. Access through a garage door is another common way thieves gain access to a home.

Before leaving the house, make sure that all doors and windows are locked and that the garage door cannot be opened. Many times thieves are able to simply enter a home through an unlocked window. The key is to make it as difficult as possible for a burglar to get inside your home.

Park in well-lit areas Cars are prime targets for burglaries. Many times shoppers visit the car frequently during shopping excursions and store gifts in the trunk, only to return for more shopping. Thieves recognize there may be a bounty of merchandise inside.

First and foremost, all items in the car should be stored out of sight to deter interest in your vehicle. Secondly, make sure that the car is locked and that the security system (if there is one) is engaged, as merchandise in a car is not often covered by standard auto insurance policies Watch your wallet Cash is a very attractive prospect for thieves because it is largely untraceable and easily spent.

While shoppers who want to curb high credit card bills might favor cash, it is important not to carry too much around When using an ATM at the mall or at the bank, always be aware of your surroundings, including fellow customers. It may be worth paying multiple service fees to withdraw small amounts of cash rather than withdrawing a large amount of money that thieves can target.

SENSIBLE PLANNING Makes for Smart Holiday Shopping

A The holiday season is among the most stressful times of year.

nd with so many people trying to spend less these days, preparing for the holidays has become that much more challenging. But by planning in advance and establishing a holiday shopping game plan,you can save money and maintain your peace of mind.

Start at the bottom line. The best way to avoid overspending during the holidays is to establish a budget -- and then stick to it.

Also, know as you go. Know what portion of a holiday budget is for gifts and keep a running total of expenditures as you shop.

Consider family gifts. If there are a

number of families on your gift list, consider giving a single gift -- or gift basket -- that everyone can enjoy. A waffle iron or ice cream maker, for example, is a gift that foodie families will savor for years to come.

Give the gift of your time. Some of the most cherished gifts have no price tag attached. Homemade gift certificates for things like car washing, dishwashing, babysitting, lawn mowing, and closet cleaning are always wonderful and welcome. As the giver, just make sure to make good on your promise.

DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIBING MEDICAL SHEEPSKIN FOR ITS NATURAL HEALING PROPERTIES. Studies worldwide continue to show that sheepskins are an effective tool in the prevention of bedsores, and helping people rest better. More doctors are recommending sheepskins for their patients, for babies, and active men and women.

Medical sheepskins help regulate body temperature, providing cool comfort in the summer and warmth in the winter. When used to sit or lie on, natural sheepskin distributes pressure evenly under the body allowing air circulation. It helps to relax and regenerate the body.

In 2003, a study by doctors at The Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, showed that medical sheepskins reduce the likelihood of bedsores by 58%! They also found that bedsores are usually fully preventable!

Bedsores (AKA pressure sores, pressure ulcers), are a commonly encountered problem experienced by

people who are confined to a bed or sitting in a chair for long periods. Confined movement creates pressure on the skin where the body weight is supported- normally the lower back, buttocks, shoulders, and heels.

This closes tiny arteries at the skins surface and prevents vital nutrients from reaching the skin tissue, the

vent this from happening by distributing body weight, increasing air circulation around the body; reducing excess perspiration and helping people rest more comfortably. In another study by doctors at The University of Cambridge in England, they confirmed that babies actually grew better and slept more soundly on genuine sheepskins.

“My dad is bed-ridden and started getting pressure ulcers. I bought a medical sheepskin from Bo Peeps and no more pressure ulcers! Mahalo!” – M. Silva, Mililani “After my husbands open heart surgery, he was having difficulty sleeping. As the doctor recommended, I bought him a medical sheepskin

from Bo Peeps which helped to reduce his perspiration and improve his circulation.

It worked so well we bought 3 more for other family members! Much aloha!”

– N. Oasay, Waipahu “The only thing that’s helped with my nightly hot flashes is the sheepskin that I bought from your store.

Thanks Bo Peeps for helping me sleep!” – J. Takata, Pearl City “My grandmother loves the sheepskin that I got her, but my grandfather kept stealing it so I had to buy him one too!” – T. Ching, Hawaii Kai “I am always happy with the service from Bo Peeps

Snow ice is not a shaved ice, Frozen yogurt or ice cream.The best way to describe Snow Ice would be a frozen cotton candy. Snow Ice is fully flavored and ready to serve without adding any syrup because it’s made with fruit and juice bases mixed with milk.

Snow Ice has a rich taste with just less than 150 calories per serving with more than 20 flavors and 30 combos to choose from.

Christmas Tree SAP CLEANUP Having a live tree inside the home can be awe-inspiring, but it can also be quite messy.

D

ecorating is one of the many traditions associated with the holiday season. The family Christmas tree is arguably the most prominent decoration. Having a live tree inside the home can be awe-inspiring, but it can also be quite messy.

The idea of bringing a formerly live tree inside a home as a decoration may seem odd, especially when individuals are faced with the aftermath, which is often a trail of pine needles and very sticky sap. A freshly cut pine tree will ooze sap, which tends to be quite sticky and messy and notoriously difficult to remove. Even a Christmas tree that is average in stature can generate a fair amount of sap, and it takes just a few drops of sap to make a mess.

If sap has you stuck for clean-up ideas, consider these home remedies.

On clothing: * Use rubbing alcohol on the sap stain. Allow the alcohol to sit on the stain for 30 minutes and then wash as usual. * Make a paste of laundry detergent and water and apply it to the stain. * Ammonia also may remove a sap stain. Just test an inconspicuous part of the clothing to determine if applying ammonia changes its color.

On carpeting: * Freeze the sap with ice cubes and then carefully pick out the hardened pieces. * Try vodka as an adhesive remover on the sap stain. * Rubbing alcohol also may be able to break up sap in carpet fibers.

On hands: * Any greasy, oil-based product can work, such as olive oil or even vegetable shortening. Rub on the skin, and the sap should come right off. * A lubricant like WD-40 has also been known to remove sap. * Hand sanitizer, which is comprised mainly of alcohol, can help dissolve sap so it can be rinsed off. * Make a paste of mineral oil (baby oil) and baking soda. This should help dissolve the sap and make your hands soft in the process.

In hair: * Sap can be notoriously difficult to get out of human hair or animal fur. Try coating the sap in natural peanut butter or mayonnaise, both of which have a high oil content. Allow to sit for a while and then comb out the sap with a finetoothed comb. * If tree sap cannot be removed, cutting it out may be the only option.

Diamond Head Theatre

On stage in December, Diamond Head Theatre proudly presents the current Broadway hit, “Annie”!

Set in the 1930s, Annie is an optimisDiamond Head Theatre tic and spunky orphan who is eager to escape the clutches of the orphanage matron, Miss Hannigan. Annie’s seemingly hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is selected to spend a short time at the residence of the wealthy industrialist, Oliver Warbucks. She quickly charms the household staff—and eventually melts the heart of the supposedly unfeeling Mr. Warbucks, but not without some bumps along the way. With hit musical numbers including “Tomorrow” and “Hard Knock Life,” this touching tale of friends and family is perfect for the holidays! For tickets call 733-0274 or purchase online at www.diamondheadtheatre.com.

CHRISTMAS Countdown Calendar Can Reward Good

F

orget the naughty or nice list, parents and other caregivers can celebrate well-behaved children with a different sort of rewards system -- a good behavior calendar that can be used to mark days of minded manners, exemplary acts or help around the house.

Children often respond well to positive reinforcement. Instead of just reprimanding children when they have done something bad, reward good behavior by focusing on all the things that they do well. A calendar that showcases the days that children were on their best behavior can be a way to

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Around The Globe Families across the globe cherish their Christmas traditions.

C

ustoms may be unique to every family, but many countries boast their own unique traditions as well.

Australia: Many Australians celebrate Christmas by coming together at night to sing carols outside. That’s not as chilly as it might sound, as Christmas in Australia actually falls during summer vacation. In fact, many of the country’s most popular Christmas traditions occur outside.

England: Contrary to Australia, England’s weather around Christmastime is much colder. Many of England’s traditions resemble those popular in North America, including wrapping gifts, hanging stockings over the fireplace and gathering around the Christmas tree. Kids inEngland write a letter with their wishes to Father Christmas, but unlike mailing those letters like many North American children do, English children toss their letters into a fire so their Christmas wishes can go up the chimney.

France: Christmas celebrations in France begin several weeks before December 25, but Christmas Eve is most special to many natives of France.

On Christmas Eve, church bells ring as people sing noels, or carols. The

50 • HOLIDAY 2012

following day, a feast is enjoyed upon returning home from church.

Germany: In Germany, the weather is cold during the Christmas season, and in the weeks leading up to Christmas families bake sweet bread, cakes with candied fruits and spicy cookies. Advent wreaths are popular in Germany and are purchased four Sundays before Christmas begins. The wreaths have places for four candles, and families light a candle on the wreath each Sunday.

Mexico: Families in Mexico celebrate Christmas by decorating their homes with lilies or evergreens. Because the weather is warm, many families also cut designs into brown paper bags before inserting a candle and then setting the designs, called farolitos, along the sidewalk, on windowsills, on rooftops, and along outdoor walls. Many communities in the southwestern United States have adopted this tradition, which they often refer to as luminaria.

Sweden: Christmas celebrations in Sweden begin on December 13, the day the country celebrates St. Lucia’s Day. Celebrations for St. Lucia, the patron saint of light, are intricate and involve the whole family. A couple of days before Christmas is when many families select their Christmas tree.
