Last Minute Christmas Gifts

By Sunshine Wilson Some Christmas shoppers wait until Christmas Eve to go shopping for last minute Christmas gifts. Department stores and malls in metropolitan areas are often crowded and some stores stay open late to accommodate shoppers looking for those last minute Christmas gifts. Last minute shoppers usually can’t be too choosy since the most popular items may already be gone from store shelves. Shoppers may find that some stores will be advertising sales on Christmas Eve. But don’t count on it. Sale items may be items that are not good sellers that the store is just trying to get rid of. If you are one of those last minute shoppers, here is a list of some last minute Christmas gifts that are usually always available at most department stores, even at the last minute on Christmas Eve.

Guests may come in casual/dressy attire and, if the mood strikes them, according to the black, gold and bold theme. A massive 4-sided bar staffed by professional models secured by

Quench LA will be situated in the middle of the tent.

Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish Dedicates New Church in Newport Beach Dignitaries including The Most Reverend Kevin W. Vann, recently installed Bishop of Orange, dedicated the newly constructed Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in Newport Beach, CA The two-and-a-half-hour ceremony included several special rites such as sprinkling the church and assembly with holy water, anointing the altar and walls of the church, incensing the altar and church with copious amounts of smoke, and lighting of the church. “We are overjoyed to have reached this day at long last,” said Father Kerry Beaulieu, pastor, Our Lady Queen of Angels Church. “Since the groundbreaking 18 months ago, the church’s construction has been very visible to the countless people, but, really, this effort began more than 20 years ago, when it became clear that our parish needed a new home and this parish set out to build it.” Indeed, according to Beaulieu, that part of the effort – including navigating land issues; working with the city, designers, and the diocese; and collaborating with St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church, whose sale of the property to OLQA made the new

structure possible – was less visible to the general public but necessary to reach this day. “If ever there were an example of teamwork to accomplish a large goal, this is it,” said Beaulieu. “We’re especially honored to have Bishop Vann join us in one of his first official duties, and, as a new arrival to Orange County, witness the fruits of the labor of so many people.” With seating for 1,200, the new church now is ready to welcome thousands of area Catholics, including those who identify themselves as Catholic but, for whatever reason, have drifted away from the church. The new building features a classic design that embraces natural light and promotes serenity and reflection, enabling parishioners to participate in comforting, familiar rituals in a stateof-the-art facility. Built adjacent to the original, fiftyone-year-old church, the new structure also is earthquake resistant and provides much-needed additional parking for churchgoers. The new church is one part of a broader improvement program that also has led to ten new classrooms and renovations to existing facilities at the on-site

Our Lady Queen of Angels School. A new gym is planned as the next improvement following the church’s completion. Today’s dedication marked the culmination of a 20-plus-year process of collaboration among various entities, including city government, property owners, churches and design firms. “Today we offer our deep thanks to all those people who have contributed to the creation of the new Our Lady Queen of Angels Church,” said Beaulieu. “Their legacy is part of this beautiful building.” View a time-lapse video of the church’s construction: here (https://

Founded in 1961, Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church, located in Newport Beach, CA, is a dynamic active parish that serves as the spiritual home for approximately 4,000 Catholic families in Newport Beach and the surrounding area. OLQA offers numerous involvement opportunities for parishioners, including community programs, ministries and educational series.

The Tradition of Santa Claus Santa Claus: A Christmas Tradition that is Celebrated Throughout the Entire World By Brenda Hoffman Everyone, everywhere celebrates Christmas. Santa Claus is the number one fan and symbol of this holiday. However, since Christmas is celebrated differently throughout the world it only makes sense that Santa is also seen differently throughout the world. Let’s take a look at some of the different countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Our first stop is France. Here Christmas is known as “Noel” and the children call Santa “Pere Noel.” The French have a Christmas tree that is decorated with real candles and bright red ribbons. They also decorate the outside of their house, especially if they have evergreen trees. They put lights on these trees and they leave them on for the entire night. Our next stop is the Eastern European country of Hungary. Here Santa Claus is called “Mikulas” which means “Winter Grandfather.” On December 5 children clean their rooms and take baths in expectation of Mikulas’ arrival on December 6. For children who are good Mikulas leaves candy and toys in their clean shoes. For naughty children Mikulas leaves a golden birch. This means that these children should get a spanking. On Christmas Eve baby Jesus and His angels bring presents and the Christmas tree. In order to give baby Jesus and His angels time to set everything up families either go to the movies or to a relative’s house on Christmas Eve. Our next stop is in Germany where they truly love to decorate for the holidays. Germans really like to put up electric candles and cover their homes with all kinds of lights and colors. The one special decoration that the Germans are known for is the Adventskranz. This is a leaf wreath that has four candles in it. Germans also like to place a manger scene inside of their home. The Germans do enjoy two times of gift receiving though. The first is on December 6 when St. Nicholas brings children small gifts. Then on Christmas Eve Father Christmas brings gifts to everyone. From Germany we move on to Latvia. This is one country that all children should think about moving to for Christmas time. In Latvia there are 12 days of Christmas celebrated, starting on Christmas Eve. This is also the home of the first ever Christmas tree, which came into being in the year 1510. The traditional Christmas meal consists of brown peas with bacon sauce, sausage, cabbage, and small pies. Now we are onto New Zealand. Here Christmas arrives in the middle of summertime. The Christmas dinner consists of foods that can be barbequed. This includes ham, shrimp and fish. There are parades in most towns during the holiday season. On Christmas Eve Santa Claus brings the children presents that they get to open on Christmas Day. It is interesting though that Latvia also celebrates Christmas again around July 15. It is at this time that it is actually cold enough to enjoy the type of Christmas dinner that we enjoy here in America. Regardless of what country you go to, Christmas is celebrated in some way. So, you should not ever worry that Santa will be unable to find you because he will

Dream Guild of JDRF OC Raises $20k at Holiday Luncheon It was full room at Charlie Palmer’s in South Coast Plaza where around 150 ladies (and a few men) gathered for the Dream Guild of the Orange County Chapter of JDRF annual Holiday Luncheon. The event was hosted by Analisa Albert of Newport Coast and Pamela Lowry of Dove Canyon, CoChairs of the luncheon. Montblanc partnered with the Dream Guild hosting a champagne reception at their boutique as well as donating a beautiful timepiece from the Montblanc Collection Princesse Grace de Monaco valued at $6,600- the lucky winner was Nanette Buccola of Dana Point. Each lady at the luncheon received a complimentary femme individuelle fragrance from Montblanc; the event raised more than $20,000. Dream Guild President Donna Longo welcomed JDRF Chapter President John Giovannone who thanked the Guild for their support of JDRF. Two adorable eleven year old girls then came up to speak, they were very gracious and mature for their age - Caroline Brewster and Katherine Hellmers spoke about their challenges of living with type 1 diabetes and their hope for a cure. The girls, who renamed themselves the “YuleT1De Girls” were selling mistletoe to “Kiss Diabetes Goodbye” and raised $500 to go directly to Fund a Cure to support research. James Cueva and Richard Rodriguez of Montblanc were thanked for their generous support of the Dream Guild over the past few years as well. The silent auction featured some beautiful handbags from the Jessica Grant Collection created by Dream Girl Susan Paek, Burberry and a gorgeous Chanel handbag. More than thirty items were in the holiday raffle that would spark any shoppers interest, especially mine! After purchasing the raffle tickets, one would select the container of the item that you would want to win. A savvy past winner explained to me that if you really want the item, put all your tickets in one container or if you’re lucky, just put one raffle ticket in. Seriously, it was hard to select where to put your tickets as the selections was so desirable. Items offered were the traditional Dream Guild Basket of Champagne, wine, a signed book and basket from Charlie Palmer, trips to exotic locations, designer wallets, gift certificates to South Coast Plaza and Neiman Marcus, jewelry and fragrances. James Cueva of Montblanc had the pleasure of pulling the winning tickets; it was a real treat to hear the squeals of excitement from those that had won when their raffle ticket was pulled. Guests enjoyed a three course meal with wine pairings from the Loire Valley specially created by Chef Kim. Starting off the festivities was your choice of Baby Red Oak Salad with Manchego, Asian Pear, Cucumber, Cardamom Walnut in a Pomegranate Vinaigrette or a Tuscan White Bean Soup with Torn Croutons and Parsley Pistou. Our main course was a choice between Slow Poached Scottish Salmon with Herb-bacon crust, Israeli Couscous Risotto, Acorn Squash with Brussels Sprouts in a red verjus vinaigrette; or a Crisped Skin Mary’s Farm Chicken with Black Truffle Gnocchi, Sweet Potato Puree with roasted root vegetables or a 8oz Flat Iron Steak with a blue cheese crust and herb potato rosti with red wine jus. Dessert was a scrumptious trio of Chocolate Moelleux, cheesecake tart and a lemon guava tart. Today as many as three million Americans have T1D. Each year, 15,000 and 15,000 adults—approximately 80 people per day—are diagnosed with T1D in the United States. Additionally, studies have shown that Americans with diabetes incur medical expenses that are approximately 2.3 times higher than those incurred by Americans without diabetes. The goal of JDRF research is to improve the lives of all people affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating and preventing T1D. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and Page 10

Christmas Dessert Ideas bowls for additional colors. Additional multi-colored sprinkles can be added on top of icing before it dries for more decorative cookies, if desired.

By Heather Shockney Everyone loves the smell of cookies baking in the oven and pies cooling on the counter, what goodies will you be making for your dessert table this Christmas? Here are a few suggestions of some tried and true dessert recipes. First we will start with the cookies, this can be a great way to spend a snowy day with your children, and they will love to help you bake. A favorite Christmas cookie is the Sugar Cut-out cookie they are easy to make and lots of fun to decorate, here is a recipe for them from the food network, I use it every year and they turn out great.

Sugar Cut-out cookie

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 3/4-cup butter (1 1/2 sticks) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Colored Icing, recipe to follow Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. In another bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy and light. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, a third at a time to make stiff dough. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll out a portion of cookie dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes us- Peanut butter Blossoms. ing cookie cutters. Place on lightly 48 Hershey’s Kisses greased or nonstick cookie sheets. 1/2 cup shortening Bake until lightly golden, about 10 3/4 cup creamy Peanut Butter minute, rotating baking sheet halfway (I always use Jiff but you can use through cooking time. Cool complete- whichever type your family prefers) ly on pans about 5 minutes, transfer 1/3 cup granulated sugar to cooling racks and cool completely 1/3 cup packed brown sugar before decorating. 1 egg Colored Icing: 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1-teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons water 1-1/2 cups flour 1-teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Granulated sugar 1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates. Hide them or there won’t be any left when you need them. 2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; slowly beat into peanut butter mixture. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, I use sugar thats been colored red and green,

place on ungreased cookie sheet. 4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around the edges. Remove from cookie sheet .Place on

rack to cool . This recipe will make about 4 dozen cookies. What dessert table wouldn’t be perfect without some delicious pies? These can be the traditional pumpkin and pecan or you can add a few new ones to the bunch. Here is a great recipe for a easy Chocolate Mousse pie

Chocolate Mousse pie

1 Oreo pie crust (pre-made from store) 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding 1 tub of cool whip Chocolate chips to garnish Mix up pudding according to box for pie, with half the tub of cool whip with mixer. Put into crust then cover with remaining cool whip. Add chocolate chips on top to garnish and refrigerate till ready to serve. You might want to consider making two of these they usually go fast. The next dessert is for a Low Carb pumpkin Cheesecake; this would be great for your guests that are watching their weight.

3 to 4 drops food coloring, plus more as needed Colored sprinkles, optional In a small bowl, mix sugar and water to form a thick, smooth icing. Stir in food coloring to reach desired shade. Drop icing onto cookies using a small teaspoon and smooth with the back of the spoon. Make additional The Newport News

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage
