Holiday Recipes ’Tis the season to teach kids about giving (NC) When it comes to the holidays, children can be forgiven for seeing themselves as the main recipients of gifts and cheer. They usually are. But experts warn that showering children with gifts could be robbing them of real happiness – especially if they never learn the joy of giving. Researchers publishing in Harvard’s Journal of Happiness found that people valued gifts they gave to others even more than those they received themselves. Giving to friends or charity can be more rewarding than opening another toy. Since giving is learned behaviour, parents and friends can help children embrace the joy it brings. Here are five ways to go about it: Talk to your kids about how much fun it is to give, and the deep-down satisfaction of making someone happy. Tell them that experience is too wonderful to keep to yourself. Brainstorm with children about little things to give. Describe the joy an uncle or crossing guard might feel in receiving a specially chosen chocolate bar. A teacher might love a batch of freshly made cookies to enjoy with his or her coffee. Visit a local retirement home or help at your local food bank. A neighbour’s walkway, shovelled in surprise, can make a wonderful gift. Tie a note to the shovel wishing them a Merry Christmas. Give to a child in need who may not receive anything else this season. Reflect and revel in what a difference you’ve made for the person receiving the gift. Help them imagine the teacher digging into a cookie with their coffee, or a neighbour discovering the shoveled walk. Breathe a sigh of joy together.
Mallory’s Cranberry Brie Appetizer
INGREDIENTS 1-8 oz tube Pillsbury crescent rolls 1-8 oz wheel brie cheese 1 cup whole cranberry sauce Fresh rosemary sprigs DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease mini muffin tins with butter or cooking spray. Roll out the crescent dough and squish the seams together so you have one large seamless rectangle. Cut the dough into 24 equalsized squares. Place squares into the mini muffin tin holes. Cut brie into 24 small pieces and place a piece of brie inside each crescent dough square. Top with a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a small rosemary sprig. Bake until the crescent dough is a light golden-brown color (about 15 minutes). Serve warm. Enjoy!
Mark’s Almond Butter Crunch
INGREDIENTS Candy Thermometer 1 cup butter 1-1/3 cup sugar 1 tbsp corn syrup 3 tbsp water 1 cup sliced almonds 1/2 pkg chocolate chips DIRECTIONS We usually roast the almonds very carefully in the oven before we start. Set them aside to cool. Melt butter in saucepan and add sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook on medium heat until mixture reaches 300 degrees on the candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in half of the almonds. Spread on a cookie sheet and then spread the chocolate chips over the hot mixture until the chips melt. Sprinkle remaining almonds over the top. Refrigerate to harden, then break into pieces.

DIRECTIONS Put cereal, pretzels, 3/4 of the M&Ms, and peanuts in a large zip-lock bag. Close and shake the bag until all ingredients are mixed.

Allison’s Éclair Cake This Éclair Cake is super simple to make. It’s a great dessert that isn’t too sweet and is always a hit a parties and get-togethers. It does need to be refrigerated overnight, so plan accordingly. INGREDIENTS 2 - 3.4 oz (136 g) packages of Vanilla Instant Pudding 3 1/2 cups milk 500 mL Cool Whip 1 - 14.4 oz (400 g) package graham crackers Icing 6 tbsp butter 6 tbsp milk 6 tbsp cocoa 1 cup powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS Blend milk with vanilla pudding packages for about 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip. In a 9 x 13 pan, layer enough graham crackers to cover the bottom. You may need to cut some crackers to make them fit nicely. Pour half of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture on top and level it. Put another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture. Again, cut crackers to fit if necessary. Pour the second half of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture on top and level it. Put on a final layer of graham crackers on top with the bumpy side down. This will make for a smoother finish. Once again, cut and shape crackers if necessary to avoid pits and cracks in top layer. Make the icing: microwave the butter and milk just enough so that they are melted together. You don’t need to boil it. Add cocoa and powdered sugar and blend together. This will be a runny icing/glaze. Pour over top of the final layer of graham crackers and smooth out nicely. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Silent Night
Away in a manger Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la! ‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la! Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la! Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la la la la! See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la! Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la! Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la! While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la! Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la! Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la! Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hark! the Harold Angels Sing Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!” Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one. Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” Hail! the heav’n born Prince of peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” In a one-horse open sleigh
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold! Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven’s all gracious King! The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. Yet with te woes of sin and strife The world hath suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The love song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing. For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, Shall come the Age of Gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot We got into a drifted bank, And then we got upsot. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Joy to the World Joy to The world! the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let ev’ry heart prepare him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonder wonders of His love
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love O morning stars together
Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
The First Noel The First Noel, the Angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! And by the light of that same star Three Wise men came from country far To seek for a King was their intent And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! This star drew nigh to the northwest O’er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both Pause and stay Right o’er the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! Then entered in those Wise men three Full reverently upon their knee And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made Heaven and earth of nought And with his blood mankind has bought. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

The origins of some beloved holiday traditions
Holiday Recipes
Oma Woelk’s Pizza Casserole Submitted by Melissa Hopper. Courtesy of Frieda Woelk. This is a favourite dish of many of her grandchildren.
Christmas stockings The Christmas stockings of today may be a byproduct of various traditions. One such tradition dates back to a Dutch custom in which children would leave shoes full of food to feed St. Nicholas’ donkeys, and then St. Nicholas would leave small gifts in return. Another origin story of Christmas stockings can be traced to the 12th century, when nuns would leave socks full of nuts, fruit and tangerines for the poor. This is why some people still put tangerines in Christmas stockings. Christmas tree Christmas trees are everywhere this time of year. The use of evergreen trees predates Christmas and is associated with the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which celebrated the agricultural god Saturn with partying and gift-giving. During the winter solstice, green branches served as a reminder that spring would arrive anew. Germans are credited with first bringing evergreens into their homes and decorating them. Santa Claus Santa Claus’ origin story can be traced to St. Nicholas, a Christian bishop who lived during the fourth century. St. Nicholas was very generous and gave away his fortune to help the needy. He also did various other good deeds. St. Nicholas became infamous and began to be known by various names around the world. The Dutch called him Sinter Klaas, which was eventually transformed to Santa Claus. The jolly persona came later when 20th century advertisers — especially the artists responsible for Coca-Cola ads — portrayed Santa in a red suit with a big smile. Mistletoe Mistletoe is hung in doorways, and couples who stand beneath are encouraged to share a kiss. The tradition of hanging it in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids. Mistletoe was thought to bring good luck to a household and ward off evil spirits. The custom of kissing under mistletoe can be traced to England. Originally, a berry was picked from the sprig of mistletoe before the person could be kissed. When all the berries had gone, there could be no more kissing. Christmas bells Church bells ring for many special services, including Christmas mass. During Christmas midnight mass in the Catholic Church, the altar bells may be rung while the priest says the “Gloria.” Bells are part of caroling, and jingling bells are associated with sleighs and Santa’s reindeer.
