Easy holiday table decorating There’s a reason the holidays are called the most wonderful time of the year - it’s an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones over delicious food and shared traditions. But hosting the holidays can be hectic if you don’t properly prepare. Is there enough food? What if the turkey is undercooked? Do the table decorations look OK? We’ve all been there. This year, keep your holiday gathering fun, not frantic, with these holiday hassle-free hosting tips. Prepare a game plan. Developing a checklist will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed with to-do’s. For example, once the invitations have been extended, plan the menu, and gather recipes and a grocery list. Take inventory of your cooking supplies, serving dishes and tableware. While cleaning the house, identify what decorations are needed. Set the table. While last-minute jobs are bound to happen, conquering the planned details ahead of time will help keep you sane. Keep the menu simple. From appetizers to desserts, determine what dishes on the menu can be homemade, made ahead of time or store-bought, and how guests can
contribute. Figure out what is actually feasible for your meal - it’s OK if you can’t make everything from scratch. If you’ve never made homemade pie, there is no reason to put your culinary skills to the test the night before. By prioritizing your menu and asking for help, it will alleviate unnecessary stress and allow you to enjoy the event. Ditch the pile of dirty dishes in favor of disposable tableware. Instead of standing over the sink cleaning, spend the extra time celebrating with family and friends. Make sure to choose products that can stand up to heavy
foods, such as mashed potatoes and gravy or cranberry sauce. Try using eco-friendly products, such as Chinet(R) Classic White(TM) plates and bowls. They are made from recycled material and biodegradable in home composting - leaving you to only feel guilty about that second helping of green bean casserole. And if your guests are known to be animated, opt for disposable wine glasses such as Chinet Cut Crystal(R) wine glass. It will hold up the event’s style without sacrificing your favorite stemware. Deck the dinner table with a napkin
fold. A napkin fold is a pretty and practical way to add personality to the dinner table. While some napkin folds can be intricate and time-consuming, choose unique designs such as festive trees and poinsettias that can be completed in a matter of minutes. Create your own picture-perfect holiday. Incorporate meaningful touches throughout the table, such as photo centerpieces, heirloom linens and favorite greenery. These are easy ways to stimulate conversation and storytelling during dinner.

5 tips to make the holidays magical, not stressful
It’s the most wonderful time of the year; if only you had a moment to enjoy it. While there are plenty of reasons to cherish the holidays, there are also an overwhelming number of things to do, people to see, gifts to buy, appointments to make and trips to take. All that combined can make your day-to-day stressful, even during this special season. To spark magic back into the holidays, you need to cut the stress - or at least limit it - and to help do that, here are five tips to simplify your daily routine so you can relax and truly make the most of your holidays. * Enjoy a cup of tea. With the constant “go go go” mentality of the holiday season, you may be inclined to reach for coffee; however, researchers have found many relaxing benefits from drinking tea - whether it’s black, green or chamomile. When you do decide to break for a glass of tea, shut out all other distractions and treat yourself to a little quiet time. Even a quick five minute break can leave you feeling reenergized. * Connect digitally. Can’t make
it to every holiday party and get together? Don’t stress! Though you may not get to visit everyone in person, you can use the Internet to connect with loved ones. Consider creating a family hashtag like #HolidaysWithTheJoneses to keep track of posts and photos from the festivities. A reliable, affordable connection to friends and loved ones is important, especially during the pricey holiday season. With so many phone plans and choices, you get nationwide coverage on the largest and most dependable networks in America, so you can stay in touch no matter where you are. * Step outside. Yes, it’s cold, but with shorter days and longer nights, soaking up as much daylight as possible will help stave off the winter blues. It’s good for both mind and body, especially during the busy holidays. Once you’re outside, use this opportunity to spend some quality time with the family by building a snowman or staging an impromptu snowball fight. When you’re focused on having fun together, you’ll remember what
makes the holidays special. * Turn on some tunes. Whether you’re a Christmas carol die-hard or a musical Scrooge, music has an undeniable effect on your mood. Spin your favorite songs to help you get through shopping, travel, gift wrapping and more with a smile on your face. You’ll be dancing to a new beat and those errands will seem a lot merrier. * Take some time for yourself. It’s better to give than to receive, but
make sure to take some time to give yourself a relaxing treat during the holidays. Enjoy the calming effects of yoga, go to the gym or hit the spa. Taking a step back to focus on yourself makes you feel great and reduces your stress level. The holidays can be hectic, but it is also a wonderful time to reconnect with friends and family to celebrate the season. These simple stressreducing techniques can help you make the holidays truly wonderful.
6 foolproof ideas for everyone on your holiday gift list
Giving gifts can be one of the biggest stressors during the holidays. Store after store, website after website, you try to find the perfect something for everyone on your list. Seeing the smiles on the faces of your loved ones as they open their presents is one of the best feelings in the world, but it doesn’t have to come at the cost of your sanity. With every holiday season comes a lineup of must-have items everyone has on their wish list. Save yourself some time and effort this year by paying attention to the top trends and

brands that will ensure you give gifts your family and friends will truly love. For the fashionista: Luxury handbags and shoes Any woman on your list would be thrilled to discover a high-end handbag or pair of shoes under the tree. Made of quality leather and sturdy materials, an extravagant handbag or pair of fashionable boots will last and she’ll be able to cherish them for years. Check out her Pinterest boards to find out what style and size she might be looking for. Then, search sites to find brands such as Coach and Frye, which offer a wide variety of wallets, handbags, boots and shoes fit for any lifestyle and a range of budgets. For cold weather climates: Toasty shoes and boots Winter is here and the temperature is only going to drop further. Make sure you gift your loved ones with the latest in cold weather fashion. For both women and men, warm and cozy Ugg boots are a statement piece they’ll love having in their shoe collection. For the outdoorsy person on your list: Stylish, cozy outerwear Enchant your friend or family member with something special for their closet, like a lavish winter coat or warm fleece jacket. Has he or she
The Newport News
been eyeing a vest from The North Face all year? This is the perfect opportunity for you to bring joy and happiness to their holiday celebration and beyond. For the athlete: Activewear and sneakers The athlete on your list is sure to be wishing for new gear to carry out his or her passion. Nike has perfect gifts for every sport, including bags, shoes and accessories. Your athlete will be ready to win games and score goals with new sports apparel. For the trendsetter: Bangle bracelets and plaid A huge trend in jewelry right now is the stacked bangle look. Whether you’re shopping for your teenage daughter or your best friend, a gift set of beautiful gold or silver bracelets will be a welcome addition to her jewelry box. You’ll be able to find sets in all different price ranges, so there’s no need to break your budget. Plaid is everywhere you look these days. From blanket scarves to Oxford shirts, plaid is a winter staple for both men and women. Show your loved ones how up to date you are on fashion trends when you give them gifts they’ll never want to return. Look for plaid vests, bags, socks, shoes, hair accessories and even cell phone cases.
For the kids: Fun and colorful shoes When your kids are constantly growing, a new pair of shoes becomes a standard holiday gift. Let them stand out with shoes that will show off their individual style. Brands like Crocs carry shoes in almost every color imaginable along with many different styles and fun add-ons, so you’ll be able to find something to fit every child on your list. Let this holiday guide help you overcome the challenge of finding the gifts each and every person on your list will love.

The holidays are that special time of year when we open our homes and welcome guests from far and wide. It is a chance for us to connect with old friends and family we may not have seen since the previous holiday season. If you’ll be hosting holiday guests this year, you know there are plenty of preparations to be made. While the main course and the sleeping arrangements may require some additional thought, you don’t need to get bogged down in the decorations. Follow these tips to create a beautiful holiday motif in just a matter of moments. * Dress up the curtains. Wrapping paper and Christmas print ribbon only appear once a year, so when they do make the most of them. Use some of that print ribbon and wrap it around your curtains to make festive, holiday bows. This will bring your furnishings into the holiday spirit and give the room a more complete look. * Serve a festive snack. The main
course may be extravagant, but there’s no reason the snacks have to be laborious. This year, offer your guests Wheat Thins Holiday snacks. These better-for-you hexagonshaped snacks feature festive imprints, including snowflakes, a gingerbread man, a bell and a candy cane. Plate them on a holiday platter and serve them with a garlic dip, a spinach artichoke dip or another of your own creation for a fun, unique snack. Share your entertaining ideas for Wheat Thins Holiday snacks on Twitter @WheatThins. * Dress up your house plants. Why should the tree get all the attention? If you have plants in your home, decorate them with festive ornaments of their own. * Create a sparkling centerpiece. A centerpiece doesn’t have to be a large, dramatic thing. For a simple, yet elegant centerpiece, place vintage ornaments on a cake stand and surround them with holly leaves or evergreen twigs.
* Place your wishes in a wreath. Create a touching piece that will engage and entertain your guests. Hang an unadorned twig wreath from a wall. Then supply your guests with small, blank cards and markers to write on and ask them to write a message about the season or the upcoming year on the card before adding it to the wreath. Your guests will enjoy creating their own messages as well as reading the messages of their fellow event attendees. * Create decorations from candy. If you’re looking for simple decorations to adorn your house with, fill tall, slim drinking glasses with candy canes for a festive, yet elegant appearance. Tie a red ribbon around each glass to complete the look. Preparing your home for that holiday get-together doesn’t have to mean hours of decorating. With these simple tips you’ll be able to showcase your Christmas spirit and spend your newly-found free time enjoying the season.

‘Tis the season to see if your tread’s been bad or good The holidays are here again, and so is running, driving - around for things. Rushing to parties, picking up family at the airport, preparing dinners, and, of course, shopping. Whether it’s fighting for parking spaces at the mall or traveling over the river and through the woods, don’t overlook the four round pieces of rubber that are responsible for safely getting you from point A to point B - your tires. “People have a lot of to-do’s on their checklist during the holidays, but one thing they tend to forget is to check on the condition of their tires,” says Dan Guiney, director of technical services for Yokohama Tire Corp., maker of a variety of truck and car tires. “It’s something every driver should do.” “Tires must be replaced for traction considerations depending on anticipated roadway and weather driving conditions and by Federal regulation when the tread is worn to 2/32 of an inch groove depth
remaining. You want to prevent loss of traction which may result in skidding and hydroplaning,” says Guiney.” It’s hard to visualize what that acceptable tread depth looks like, so place a penny upside down into a tread groove. If the top part of Lincoln’s head is just starting to be covered, you’re driving with the very minimum amount of tread depth, 2/32nds. If driving conditions will be wet or snowy you may want to purchase new tires before the minimum levels to maximize traction performance. If heavy snow or ice is anticipated, winter tires are an excellent choice because they can provide considerably more winter traction than all-season tires. And because your all-season tires are taking a “winter vacation,” they’ll last longer. “Tire technology has come a very long way, resulting in tires that last longer and are more fuel efficient,” says Guiney. However, drivers still
have the responsibility to check their tires regularly to get the optimum performance out of them.” For the holiday season or the daily commute, driving smartly and maintaining your tires can save money at the gas station. Here are some of Guiney’s tips: * Keep your tires properly inflated. Once a month, when the tires are cold (at least three to four hours after the vehicle has been driven), check tire pressure with a reliable tire gauge. Be

sure the valve stems have a plastic or metal cap to keep dirt out and seal against water and foreign objects. * Slow down. All vehicles lose fuel economy at speeds above 55 mph. Driving 55 mph instead of 75 mph can reduce fuel costs up to 25 percent. Driving 65 mph instead of 75 mph can save up to 13 percent. * Tire alignment should be checked once a year.

PAY LESS TO ADVERTISE TO REACH THE HIGH INCOME HOMEOWNERS OF NEWPORT BEACH, BALBOA, CORONA DEL MAR, AND NEWPORT COAST WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM YOU 1. Newport News Readers can afford your very best! According to reliable sources such as the U.S. census bureau the area served by the Newport News is one of Orange County’s highest income groups. These affluent nearby homeowners in Newport Beach, Balboa, Corona del Mar, and Newport Coast have more money to spend and the time to spend it. Make sure that these readers are aware of your company and what you do by keeping a regular, affordable advertising message in the newspaper that all of them read every week 2.Why pay more to reach your most preferred customers? Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the most expensive advertising is advertising that doesn’t work. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would bring you customers. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in Newport News? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like the Newport News which is received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners with advertising that costs you far less money. The Newport News is attractive, effective and affordable. 3. Why do Newport News Readers read the Newport News? Since 1907 The Newport News has been the favorite weekly publication of Newport Beach. On July 15, 1997, the Superior Court of Orange County adjudicated
(approved) The Newport News as the official newspaper for The City of Newport Beach and the County or Orange. That’s why you regularly see stories about the Newport News Chamber of Commerce, and prominent Newport News residents in the Newport News. So when you advertise In the Newport News you get the most popular weekly for Newport Beach readers. 4.U S Post office plus selected delivery makes this newspaper special! While everyone knows that the Newport News is delivered to nearly every single family residence in Newport Coast by the United States Post office, the Newport News is also hand-delivered each week to local Newport News area businesses, professional offices, library, and several centrally located news racks other popular gathering spots where Newport News residents can easily pick up a copy. 5.Who is this woman that raises hundreds of millions of dollars and how can she help me grow my business? If you don’t know her already, get to know Kelly Bennett, the top society columnist in Orange County. She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly. Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features major charity events where the beautiful people
of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes. Permit us to say that placing your advertising where it is seen by people who can afford to give away millions is the best advertising purchase you will ever make. Read Kelly Bennett’s “Society Scene “column every week in the Newport News and see why. 6. Free Online Advertising Newport News Version each week. While many people still prefer to have a hard copy of the Newport News to hold in their hand, our online version is equally popular for those who want to access our entire newspaper on their smartphone, tablet or computer. Your regular ad will appear in our online edition at no extra charge. Just click on the Thenewportnews.com. 7. How Fast Will this Home be sold? We’d like to share some actual quotes from local Newport News area realtors: BUYERS CAME IN WAVING the ad that appeared in the Newport News.” Two factors determine how fast a house will sell: 1.Choose a skilled real estate professional 2. Advertise it in the Newport News Whether you are selling homes or other desirable goods or services you should consider the Newport News for your advertising.

Empowering Kids to Change the World, Team Kids Raise $160,000! The third annual “Team Kids Innovative Thinkers Forum,” held at Oakley’s iconic Headquarters broke Team Kids’ all-time fundraising records and created the buzz of a Hollywood movie premiere. Fueled by high-profile executives from NASA, Oakley and Ekso Bionics and two-time Academy Award nominated actor/producer Jeremy Renner, Team Kids welcomed 400 guests and raised more $160,000 in funds to support its mission to empower children to change the world. Excitement peaked with a monumental Hollywood-style entrance as Jeremy Renner barreled up Oakley’s grand entrance in an Orange County Sheriff’s Humvee. Panelists also arrived in a second Humvee, which was flanked by an Orange County Fire Authority Engine and deputies on motorcycles. The dramatic arrival, with lights and sirens blaring, was set to the recognizably thrilling score of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, one of Mr. Renner’s latest top-grossing films. While guests awaited the arrival of the special VIPs, they gathered for an Innovation Expo featuring international award-winning STEM project from Dana Point Elementary School’s Robotechs and UC Irvine’s ANTrepreneur’s products designed to tackle pressing social issues. After an executive business mixer, guests headed into Oakley’s auditorium, where they were treated to a rare experience. Joe Burke, Event Chair, emcee and Team Kids’ Fund Development and Marketing Chair, led in sixty third-graders, who sat cross-legged on the floors and up the aisles of the theater. Jeremy Renner took the stage, bringing children up with him oneby-one to field their impromptu questions, which ranged from gaging his archery skills to asking what leadership means to him. Mr. Renner was then joined by ingenious global leaders – Colin Baden, Chief Innovation Product Officer of Oakley; Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge Architect of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Nathan Harding, Co-Founder and CEO of Ekso Bionics. Led by moderator and Team Kids Board Member Dan Lubeck, the four panelists discussed their respective paths to innovation and answered personal questions, including their pivotal moments in life and greatest failures, and left the audience with the gift of their pearls of wisdom. “Innovation is invention that changes the world,” said Jeremy Renner, “There is no greater place to spark innovation than from the dreams of our nation’s kids. I love the work Team Kids has done for over 15 years and their partnerships with police, firefighters and educators.” The purpose of the night was to celebrate innovation and, aligned with Team Kids’ mission of youth empowerment, to inspire our next generation of leaders to be kind, fearless, problem solvers who think outside the box. “Tonight was about bringing heroes together: our police, firefighters, The Avengers’ Hawkeye, and some of the most brilliant minds in the universe,” says Team Kids’ Founder and CEO Julie Hudash. “But the adults were also incredibly inspired by our kids, who reminded us that they too are heroes, and also the most powerful and renewable resource in the world!” Team Kids’ mission is to empower children to change the world by motivating them to become compassionate leaders, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. Team Kids’ programs are delivered in public schools in cities in Orange, Los Angeles and Arlington, VA Counties. The 5-week, schoolbased Team Kids Challenge Program is receiving national attention thanks to a truly innovative community collaboration of partners and youth stakeholders from education, law enforcement, fire service and local business.

Simple Ways to Give Back The true spirit of the holiday season is giving back to those in need, and there are many ways to get involved in your local community to make a difference. Best of all, the holidays serve as a great time to teach children about the importance of giving back and how far small acts of kindness can go. To get started, here are some ideas that are easy to put into action this year: Give Back By Writing a Letter As part of Macy’s annual Believe campaign, you can bring stamped letters to Santa to your local store and drop them in the big red letterbox, or send a letter to Santa digitally through macys.com/believe. For each letter collected in stores and online until Dec. 24, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The retailer has raised $90 million for Make-A-Wish since 2003, with $10.8 million donated over the last seven years through the iconic letter writing campaign. Dedicate an afternoon to writing letters and then make a family trip to the store to drop them off.
Give Back By Starting a New Tradition Generosity comes in many forms and there are numerous ways to embrace the season of giving. Start by taking a family poll of what give back projects you’d like to get involved in this holiday. From there, you can do research to find out what existing events and initiatives are happening in your community that match your interest areas. Activities could include adopting a family to fulfill wish lists, making cards for hospital patients, participating in clothing drives, volunteering at an animal shelter or taking part in random acts of kindness, such as delivering a care package to an elderly neighbor. Give Back By Playing Interactive Games This year, a new element launches as part of the Believe campaign – the Wish Writer stylus and app. Available at Macy’s stores and online, the stylus is a new way for children to play interactive games and write magical letters to Santa. Designed to teach children about kindness and generosity during the holiday
season, Wish Writer users can play a series of games and earn rewards for good deeds. In true giving spirit, $1 from each stylus purchase (retail $14.99) will benefit Make-A-Wish. The stylus will also come to life in a heartwarming film featuring a little girl and her brother as they discover how
a little kindness during the holiday season can go a long way. Above all, the holidays are a time to reflect, help others and give thanks. To learn more about Macy’s Believe campaign and watch the Wish Writer film, visit macys.com/believe.
