TABLE TALK

CREATIVE CONVERSATIONS Dive into these questions after dinner

We all know attempting to have authentic conversations during the holidays can be all but impossible. Perhaps some of these conversation starters can help you delve a little deeper with your friends and family this holiday season.

If you could switch places with one friend for a day, who would it be?

Try these on for size:

What is something you use every day that you don’t need?

What’s the smartest thing you heard someone say today?

When is it hard being a friend? How can you change the world?

What was your first thought when you woke up today?

What are you most afraid of?

What do you want to accomplish by your next birthday? What’s your favorite word right now? Why? Describe your perfect day.

If you could give everybody in the world one piece of advice, what would you say?

What’s something you know how to do that you could teach others?

What do you love about yourself?

If you could time travel, where would you go? What would you change? What’s the most important choice you will have to make in your life?

If you could eat only one food for an entire year, what would you choose? What’s the funniest thing someone said or did today? What event do you wish you could have attended?

SQUISH & CRUNCH ARE NOT CARPET SOUNDS BUT SOFT IS!!! Hello my name is Paige O’Dowd and all my friends thought that I was crazy getting into such a male-dominated field but my answer to them was who knows clean better than a woman. If you don’t believe that, try to remember what your spouse’s home looked like before you married them. I’m a mother of six and a proud owner of nine rescue dogs, so I know clean. I promise I will deliver a clean like you’ve never seen with the safest and most effective method ever developed.

LOVE

1. Words of affirmation

This language uses words to affirm other people. For those who prefer the words of affirmation language, hearing “I love you” and other compliments are what they value the most. Words hold real value within this language.

2. Quality time

THE GREATEST GIFT

Give your partner a gift that will last forever. It’s that time of the season when the pressure is on to buy the perfect gift for your better half. If you’re like many couples, you probably have bought yourself a gift, and handed it to your spouse to wrap for Christmas. This year, rather than wrapping up something to collect dust, consider learning to speak a new language—your partner’s love language. Dr. Gary Chapman, best-selling author, counselor and speaker, realized his clients were trying all the “right” ways to show their partner love—but they were speaking the wrong language. The 5 Love Languages theorizes people tend to give love in the way they prefer to receive love. Since we don’t all have the same preferences as our partners when it comes to giving and receiving love, this is how relationships can start to get sticky. But by understanding our partners’ inherent love language, we can express our love to our partners more effectively—visit 5lovelanguages. com to learn more. THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• DECEMBER DECEMBER 2021 2021 10 THE

This language is about giving the other person your undivided attention. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful to these individuals. Being there for them is crucial.

3. Receiving gifts

Dr. Chapman says for some people, what makes them feel most loved is to receive a tangible gift. This doesn’t necessarily mean the person is materialistic, but a meaningful or thoughtful present makes them feel appreciated.

4. Acts of service

For these people, actions speak louder than words—lending a helping hand shows you really care. People who thrive on this language have very little tolerance for people who make more work for them.

5. Physical touch

To this person, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch. That doesn’t mean only in the bedroom —everyday physical connections, like handholding, kissing, or any type of re-affirming physical contact is greatly appreciated. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

YOU

HOLIDAY BLUES?

Don’t let this be a blue Christmas. Feelings of sadness that last throughout the holiday season—especially during the months of November and December—are often referred to as the holiday blues. The holidays are usually viewed as a time of happiness and rejoicing. But for some people, it can be a time of painful reflection, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

Don’t Isolate Yourself

Even people who love the holidays can experience the blues during this busy season. The holidays are often a time of high emotions and demands, which can leave a lot of people feeling stressed and exhausted.

Find Time for Yourself

There are a number of reasons why people might experience the holiday blues. Some of the possibilities may include: lack of sleep, excessive eating and alcohol use, isolation and loneliness and unrealistic expectations. There are several things you can do on your own to make the holidays easier to deal with.

Drink In Moderation

Alcohol is a depressant and drinking too much can exacerbate any negative feelings that you might have. Consider limiting your consumption and avoid using alcohol as a way to deal with or avoid difficult emotions. 12 12 THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• DECEMBER DECEMBER 2021 2021

Social isolation can be a major risk factor for depression. The problem is, sadness often makes you want to hide at home alone. Look for ways you can enjoy social connections, even if you aren’t able to go home for the holidays. If you’re feeling lonely, ask a friend to come over for a visit. Make sure that you leave enough time for yourself to relax. Even 15 to 20 minutes a day to enjoy some quiet time, read a book, listen to music, take a bath, or some other relaxing activity can do wonders for your stress levels.

Set Realistic Expectations

It’s fine to be excited about the holidays and make plans for the things you want to do. But it is also important to keep your expectations realistic and reachable. Remember, the holidays change just as people change. Kids grow older, people move, and new people will become a part of your life. The key is to focus on those connections, create new traditions, and remember past holidays with fondness while still enjoying the one right in front of you. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

FACTS

STRANGE BUT TRUE

A grizzly bear has enough bite strength to crush a bowling ball.

Philadelphia cream cheese was actually created in New York.

Table tennis balls can travel off the paddle at a speed of 105.6 mph.

“Deaf flights” were prescribed by doctors to cure hearing loss in the 1920s and ‘30s. Stunt pilots would take unsuspecting passengers up in planes and terrify them with loops, barrel rolls and dives.

Jellyfish are considered biologically immortal. They don’t age and will never die unless they are killed. The party game of Twister was originally called Pretzel, but Milton Bradley changed the name in 1965 due to trademark issues.

J.R.R. Tolkien was nominated by fellow author C.S. Lewis for the 1961 Nobel Prize in Literature, but was overlooked because the jury said the quality of his storytelling wasn’t good.

"I got the scare of my life when I realized I was crossing in to other people's lanes while driving on the freeway! For me, eyelid surgery was about protecting and regaining my independence and safety." - Patricia Mealy

BEFORE EYE SURGERY

Ryan Gosling began his career on “The Mickey Mouse Club,” but we’d never have expected him to play “Ken” to the sexy Margot Robbie’s “Barbie.” Now that Disney owns Mattel, he’ll be back in the “club.” His last film, “First Man” (2018), barely broke even, but he’s since filmed Netflix’s most-costly film ever, the action thriller (with a $200 million price tag) “Gray Man,” co-starring Chris Evans, Ana De Armas and Billy Bob Thornton.

HERE’S A TIP Keep knitting yarn in check with empty tissue boxes. Set your yarn ball inside the box, and let the string lead out of the top. When not in use, tape 16

the string to the side of the box. Boxes can be stacked and stored for future projects. Felt circles are great for putting under small appliances on the kitchen counter. They are easier to move around, and they won’t scratch the countertops. You can

find them at the hardware store, or make your own by cutting out what you need from a piece of felt and attaching it to the bottom of your appliance with double-stick tape ... or even a drop of glue!

Margot Robbie is still one of the busiest actresses in films. She stars in the still-untitled David O. Russell film with a magnificent cast, including Christian Bale, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro, John David Washington, Zoe Saldana, Mike Meyers, Michael Shannon and Chris Rock. She also toplines “Babylon,” as silent-film legend Clara Bow, co-starring Brad Pitt, Toby Maguire and Jean Smart (due Christmas 2022), and she’s in the all-star ensemble of Wes Anderson’s latest, “Asteroid City.”

FAMILY

STRONG CONNECTIONS Keys to healthier family relationships Your family is the foundation on which much of your happiness, success and physical and emotional well-being is based. If your family relationships are unstable, that can cause a ripple effect that affects work, friends, finances and even your health. The feelings of connection and security that come with strong family relationships can give you the lift you need to endure life’s challenges and meet your goals with confidence and courage. Here are some ways healthy families grow (at any age and stage): 18

1. They learn what their strengths are and use them to overcome obstacles and to stay connected. They put in the

effort to identify and work on their weaknesses as individuals and as a whole. If your family is great at networking, use your networking skills to help yourselves in times of need. If your family has weakness in the area of conflict, make a family pact to try harder to be calmer during arguments and to improve your conflict resolution skills.

2. They have a foundation of respect. Respect relates to how

members of a family feel and think about each other and how they interact with each other. You show respect if you always consider your family members’ happiness and place it equal to your own.

3. They value investment in the family. Anything that we truly

care about requires investment of time and energy. Make sure that you and all of your family members make a concerted effort to spend time together, think about one another and work toward being a strong and happy unit.

4. They work on good communication skills. Communicating

takes effort; it is not just about having a conversation. Focus on listening and understanding what your family member is trying to say. Carve out time to work on communication skills by putting away cellular phones and other devices when your spending time together.

5. They establish traditions. One of the greatest ways to connect

is to have shared family traditions. If you have already developed some, do your best to continue what you started. If you don’t have traditions, it’s never too late to start them.

— CLOSED CHRISTMAS DAY — DECEMBER 2021 • THE GRAND SEASON

Traditions are a family’s way to pass down important events and memories associated with a specific holiday. The greatest thing about traditions is they can be started at any given point and can be used to help your family cultivate a deep bond, or can signal to new friends, that they are indeed a part of your family traditions.

CELEBRATE

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Try something old or new!

Consider using the following ideas to cultivate your Christmas traditions:

Consider adopting a family who is less fortunate for the holidays. Invite your family and friends to participate in the gift giving. Attend a late-night Christmas service on Christmas Eve.

Go to a Christmas concert in your neighborhood. Stuff an extra stocking if you might welcome an unexpected guest for Christmas.

Spoil your neighbors with Secret Santa gifts. Just wrap up a gift, and leave it on the doorstep with a note from Santa. IN SURPRISE

Bake cookies and share them with your neighborhood. CARE

CREATE JOY

Joy is that amazing feeling of great pleasure and happiness at the same time. The holiday season is so festive, that sometimes we miss those sweet moments of Joy when they cross our paths. This season, share Joy with your neighbors, your family and your grandchildren. Use some of these ideas to promote joy amongst your circle of friends.

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. Thomas S. Monson

Donate to “Toys For Tots.” Host a evening bubble party complete with cocktails. Rent some bubble blowers and have your guests dance around the bubbles spread around the room.

Watch, “A Christmas Story.” The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. Leonardo da Vinci

Volunteer serving guests at a homeless center in your community. Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace. Pope Francis

Listen to Christmas Carols. Dress up in Christmas themed pajamas and go to a busy intersection and give small presents of joy away. (It’s could be as simple as a bell).

Participate in a Carol Sing Along in your neighborhood. Join with your neighbors to provide Christmas to a family without the means to do so themselves.

Make mulled wine just to make the house smell good. Host a neighborhood game night on Christmas Eve. Instruct all participants to arrive in their pajamas.

Brew a winter ale Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. Greg Anderson 26 26

DID YOU KNOW?

Fun facts about Christmas 1 Christmas trees are also known as Yule trees. 2 The trees used as Christmas trees are usually a fir tree, a pine tree or a spruce tree and are evergreen trees. 3 Alabama became the first state in the US in the year 1836 that declared Christmas would be celebrated as a legal holiday. 4 A common belief about decorations for Christmas is that the trend of decorating trees for Christmas began sometime in the 16th century in Germany. It is believed that Christians began to bring in decorated trees to their homes for celebrating Christmas, which soon turned into a tradition and continues today. 5 The Catholic Church had earlier placed a ban on giving any presents during the time of Christmas, as it believed the exchanging of presents was related to paganism. The ban was, however, lifted later. 30 30 THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• DECEMBER DECEMBER 2021 2021

10 According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 15,000 people in the United States end up in the ER each November and December from holiday decorating accidents.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director
