A game like Band Hero is perfect for families looking to spend some fun, quality time together this holiday season.
Social Gaming:
Fun for the whole family Finding quality time to spend with family is becoming more and more difficult, with the stress of busy work and school schedules and the upcoming holiday season. In order to spend valuable time together many families have started to gather to experience the age-old tradition of family game night but with a high-tech twist — they are playing videogames. This holiday season, videogame publisher Activision Publishing is delivering several new ways for families to experience game night — they can jam in a family band,rock the house with a turntable and save the world as only a super hero can. These games appeal to all ages and the sociability of being able to experience them as a family makes game night something to truly look forward to.
Ascend to Superstardom with Friends and Family
This holiday season, families can come together and ascend the virtual stage as they rock their way to superstardom with Band Hero(TM), the highly-anticipated music game featuring charttopping artists and great sing-along hits from today and yesterday. From the same people who
WHAT’S HOT Sean O’Neill, owner of Play ‘N Trade in North Charleston, said the following games are going to be hot this Holiday season: • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare II (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii) • New Super Mario Bros (Wii) • Assassin’s Creed II (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS) • Lego Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii) • The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Nintendo DS)
brought the popular Guitar Hero(R) series, Band Hero features the hottest chart-topping hits from everyone’s favorite acts, including Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, No Doubt, Lily Allen, and The All-American Rejects. Band Hero allows families to create the band they always dreamed of using any combination of guitar or drum controllers and vocals, providing rockers and performers of all ages the chance to experience and interact with their favorite music. Parents and their children will be able to sing any way they want with the all-new Sing-Along mode, which is like karaoke, and up to four players can showcase their vocal chops without worrying about scores or failing out. Rated “E10+” by the ESRB, Band Hero is perfect for families looking to spend some fun, quality time together this holiday season.
Scratch and Mix the Hottest Hits
With the most diverse and international collection of music ever assembled in a music game, DJ Hero(TM) brings the party from nightclubs, block parties and dance halls to living rooms across the globe with an all-new interactive music experience that will appeal to every family member’s musical tastes and allow players to hear music in a fresh, new way. Players can start the party by scratching, crossfading and sampling to 93 unique never-before-released mixes from some of the biggest acts in hip-hop, pop, rock and dance. DJ Hero allows up-and-coming turntablists of all ages to live out their superstar DJ fantasies with multiple gameplay modes such as DJ vs. DJ and guitar/DJ. Rated “T” for Teen (Mild Suggestive Themes, Lyrics) by the ESRB, DJ Hero is ideal for family get togethers, kids’ birthday parties, dorm room cram session breaks or for fans looking for the coolest way to experience a new take on their favorite music. -MS

Organization tips for the holiday season Staying organized during the hectic holiday season can be the ultimate testament to a person’s ability to multi-task. Perhaps no time of year presents a bigger challenge than the holiday season, when the list of obligations increases but the amount of time in the day unfortunately remains the same. But staying organized can be a great way to save time and some of your sanity this holiday season. To do just that, consider the following tips. 1. Create a holiday calendar. This calendar will be solely devoted to the holidays. Fill it with all your parties, shopping lists and anything else pertaining to the holidays. That way you’ll have it all in one place. 2. Create a meal plan. Map out what meals and goodies you’ll be making this season. Write a list of ingredients you’ll need to have ready in the pantry and bring the list with you to the market. 3. Write a list of chores. Organize your home by creating a list of what needs to be decorated, what rooms need cleaning, etc. 4. Rely on gift lists. Don’t risk having to visit the toy store more than necessary just because you forgot one or two items. Make gift lists for every person on your list. On each list, write down what the recipient wants, gift ideas, clothing sizes, favorite colors, hobbies or anything else related to that person. 5. Make a holiday binder. Don’t just stuff all those mile-long gift lists and other organizational items into a drawer. File them away in a holiday binder. Pack the binder away with the holiday decorations each year so you’ll have it ready come next season. -MS
“I decorate 8 Christmas trees each holiday. I’ve learned to organize my ornaments by tree or room to help save time and my sanity. So when I pull out all the boxes out the next year, it’s so much easier to decorate for the holidays. I have everything up by November 1st...yes, that’s correct...the day after Halloween!” - Chris Zoeller, Regional Advertising Director

The best gifts are always those that have been chosen with care and accompanied by love. While it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy of holiday shopping and overspend, with a dash of advance planning and a sprinkling of creativity, it is possible to celebrate everyone on your holiday list without going overboard. Whether shopping online or in person, be sure to check with one or more Internet price-comparison sites on the Internet, such as PriceGrabber.com, Yahoo! Shopping, DealTime.com or NexTag.com. Another money-saving strate-
gy is to stick with homemade and semi-homemade gifts. Such gifts are both relatively inexpensive and can also add a welcome personal touch to holiday giving. • Gift baskets and gift sets can be put together to match just about everyone’s tastes and interests. Be on the lookout for inexpensive baskets, boxes and other interesting containers, which can be filled with a merry mix of items, such as a sampler of herbal teas, scented candles or bath soaps. • For the “duffer,” a set of golf balls, a few tees and a pair of knee-high argyle socks makes a
practical and amusing gift. • Artists of every age will appreciate an assortment of drawing or painting supplies “wrapped” in a hand decorated paint can. (New, unused paint cans are available at many home centers.) • If you’re a good cook or baker, share some of your favorite recipes and package them in an interesting food tin. • Instead of giving alreadybaked goods, combine the dry ingredients of your favorite cookies in decorated mason jars and add a festive tag with mixing and baking instructions. -MS

Substitute holiday favorites for healthier fare Holiday gatherings often revolve around food. Big dinners with the family might get all the attention, but even office parties or casual get-togethers can focus on food. Unfortunately, many of these treats are loaded with fat, sugar and calories. Try these tips to still indulge in the holiday spirit without packing on extra pounds. Instead of: a cracker with cheese Try: a plain reduced fat cracker
Instead of: fruitcake Try: dried apricots
Instead of: a slice of ham Try: a slice of turkey without the skin Instead of: pumpkin or apple pie Try: a slice of angel food cake Instead of: a cup of New England clam chowder or cream of mushroom soup Try: a cup of vegetable or tomato soup
Instead of: egg nog Try: white wine
Instead of: a side of stuffing Try: a scoop of white or brown rice or mashed potatoes
Instead of: cocktail meatballs Try: boiled shrimp
Instead of: a piece of fried chicken Try: a piece of fish or baked chicken

Donation tips for families GET IN THE HOLIDAY GIVING SPIRIT! This year, many families have been forced to cut back on some of their favorite things. Because of the recession, families are making sacrifices in all aspects of life. One such area many families have unfortunately been forced to reassess is their charitable donations. With the holiday season upon us, many families are realizing they might not be able to donate as much this year, which only highlights the importance of making a donation as meaningful as possible. The following tips should help families ensure their donation is the right one this holiday season. • Ask for documentation. Because many families can only afford to make one char-
itable donation this year, it’s important when choosing a charity to ask for documentation that specifies just where your money will go. If no documentation can be provided, inquire as to how the money is used and what percentage of each donation goes to the cause of the charity and how much goes toward the charity’s operating costs. • Decide on a number and stick to it. This can be hard, as those with a giving heart can find it hard to turn down a needy charity. However, families facing financial troubles or cutting back should decide on a given amount to donate and once that present has been given, kindly refuse other charities asking for donations. -MS

Film classics to rev up holiday spirit
STAFF PICKS:
Families often have their own unique traditions when it comes to the holidays. Lately, families have begun to include films in many of those traditions. That’s thanks largely to the array of classic holiday films that have consistently put people in the holiday mood. Families reuniting for the holidays this year have a host of films from which to choose to enjoy a night in and a bucket of popcorn. When heading to visit family and friends, con-

With the holidays upon us once again, the endless and often exhausting search for the perfect gift has no doubt returned as well. And just like shoppers can rely on long lines at the mall and crowded parking lots, they can also count on that one friend or family member on their holiday shopping list who seemingly has it all, making them nearly impossible to shop for. Though there’s little shoppers can do when it comes to long lines at the mall or crowded parking lots, fortunately there are steps shoppers can take to make even the most difficult person on their list a cinch to shop for. • Avoid the mall. Someone who already has everything likely has seen or purchased all that the mall has to offer, so shoppers can avoid the stress of the nearby mall by looking elsewhere for gifts. • Get creative. Creativity is often at the core of the perfect and thoughtful gift. Such was the case when Jera Deal, a mother of three and a school mother for her daughter Julianna’s preschool class, found herself hunting for the ideal gift to give Julianna’s teacher for her wedding. Hoping to go beyond the gifts listed in the registry, Deal decided to turn a playful game she and her family enjoyed while walking in the park into a creative gift idea. To aid in their children’s alphabet lessons, Jera, her husband, Brad, and their three girls began “letter hunting” on walks in the park, looking for different “letters” in nature (sticks) and architecture (stones). For each letter they found, they would take a photograph, soon collecting the entire alphabet.
While the game initially started as a playful and creative way to help her daughters learn the alphabet, Jera Deal turned that game into an ideal gift for her daughter’s teacher, custom framing the letters from her now extensive library to spell out the teacher’s new last name. “It was a gift from the class, so I knew it had to be really special and really unique, and something that she would never forget where it came from,” says Jera. The gift proved to be just that, and the Deals soon discovered their idea that started as a game with their kids was also a perfect means to giving a thoughtful, unique and creative gift. In less than three years, Sticks and Stones grew from a thoughtful idea for a teacher’s wedding gift into a succesful business with some rather renowned clientele. “If you want to give someone a totally original keepsake — here it is,” says Oprah Winfrey, who gave one to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as a wedding present. “This is the perfect gift for the person who has everything because no one has anything like this!” Featured on “The Rachael Ray Show,” “The Martha Stewart Show,” and in People magazine among others, Sticks and Stones offers an extensive gallery of letters in both nature and architecture. Shoppers can choose which letters to use, ensuring no two creations will ever be the same. To learn more about Sticks and StonesTM, visit www.CreateSticksAndStones.com or call 866-377-8412. -MS

Gifts kids can create
A hand-painted pencil holder made from a soup can will keep its place of honor on a busy executive’s desk for decades. A sewing box made from a shoebox and covered in decoupage will get a smile every time it is used over a lifetime. Handmade gifts from children are creative, inexpensive and show them that giving can be fun. While decorated tin cans, shoe boxes and oatmeal containers have been the beginnings of countless homemade gifts over the years, arts and crafts gifts are only limited by your child’s imagination. Kits or gift baskets are fun to make and receive — and the possibilities are endless. For example, a hand painted terra cotta flowerpot with a few packets of seeds and a pair of bright cotton gloves tucked inside is an inexpensive gift for someone in the family with a green thumb, while a “Movie Night Kit” can include a favorite film, a package of microwave popcorn and assorted sweets and snacks. Your child can also create colorful movie passes for admittance to the show. If you can find one, a theater popcorn tub would be the perfect package to hold all the items. Another favorite is a coupon or gift certificate, usually redeemable for a service to be performed by the child. It can be as simple as “Good for 2 Hours of Weeding” or “Good for 1 Car Wash” for a parent or other family member. For a sibling, a coupon that reads “I’ll Do Your Chores for One Full Day” is sure to be appreciat-
ed. And, of course, there’s no better gift than love: “Free Hugs All Day Long.” Encouraging children to consider recipients’ interests when creating personalized coupons not only makes for welcome gifts, but can be a great lesson in caring and compassion. Giving homemade gift certificates can also be a great opportunity for your child to explore their interests and interact with adults in new settings. For instance, an offer to serve as a parent’s or grandparent’s “Personal Assistant for a Day” can create opportunities for family members to share quality one-on-one time. Once your children have produced a treasure trove of future family heirlooms, they can put the final touches on their gifts by creating handcrafted wrapping paper, gift bags and gift tags. Start with a roll of white butcher paper and paper bags (handles optional). Break out the paints, colored paper, beads, ribbons, buttons and bows and let the creativity flow. Last year’s holiday and greeting cards are perfect for cutting into gift tags and can also be used to create holiday collages on gift bags. Your newspaper’s Sunday comics can be used whole as a fun wrapping paper or cut up and used for decorating the gift packages. The bottom line on homemade gifts? By encouraging kids to give of themselves through creative and thoughtful holiday gifts for others, they will not only learn the joys of giving, but have a blast in the process. -MS
