• The idea for using electric Christmas lights came from an American named Ralph E. Morris in 1895. The new lights proved safer than the more traditional candles. • The first Christmas card was created in England in 1843. Hallmark introduced its first Christmas cards in 1915, five years after the founding of the company. An average household in America will mail out 28 Christmas cards each year and see 28 cards return in their place. • Pudding is important in the Christmas traditions of Great Britain. While making the pudding, the British have a traditional practice of making a wish while mixing the ingredients in a clockwise direction.

• In the Netherlands, the Dutch eagerly await December 6, for it is on this day that they celebrate St. Nicholas Day, the coming of Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas sails from Spain every winter, and Dutch children fill their shoes with hay and sugar for his horse on St. Nicholas eve and awake to find them filled with gifts such as nuts and candy. On St. Nicholas Day, they celebrate with family get-togethers and feasting, after which everyone settles down to prepare for Christmas Day on December 25.

• It is from Scandinavia that most of our Yule log traditions derive. The dark cold winters inspired the development of traditions concerned with warmth and light. Yuletide, meaning “the turning of the sun” or the winter solstice, has traditionally been a time of extreme importance in Scandinavia.

• For a long time, it was considered dangerous to sleep alone on Christmas Eve. The extended family, master and servant alike, would sleep together on a freshly spread bed of straw. • The Yule log was originally an entire tree, carefully chosen and brought into the house with great ceremony. The butt end would be placed into the hearth while the rest of the tree stuck out into the room. The tree would be fed into the fire and the entire process was carefully timed to last the entire Yule season. • The Chlausjagen Festival or Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in Switzerland at dusk on December 6. The week before Christmas, children dress up and visit homes with gifts. Ringing church bells to call people to midnight mass has become a tradition, and each village competes with the next for the “best” bell ringing. After the service, families gather to share homemade doughnuts called ringli and hot chocolate. • A Maltese Christmas traditionally is centered on the Christ’s crib or presepju. The child’s version of the church crib is called grolta. The crib figures are called pasturi and represent Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, angels, villagers and animals such as cows and sheep. • Wreaths have a long history that can be traced back to the ancient Druids. They believed that holly, an evergreen with bright red berries, had magical properties. Wreaths were first created when holly and other evergreens were arranged in a circular shape.

Music Legend:
The Doors The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, consisting of vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The Doors were among the 1960’s most controversial rock acts, due mostly to Morrison’s wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic, but unpredictable, stage personality. • The origins of The Doors lie in a chance meeting between fellow UCLA film school alumni Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek on Venice Beach in California in July 1965. Morrison told Manzarek he had been writing songs, and, with Manzarek’s encouragement, Morrison sang “Moonlight Drive.” Impressed by his lyrics, Manzarek suggested they form a band. The rest is history. • The Doors’ selftitled debut LP was released in the first week of January 1967. It featured most of the major songs from their set list, including the nearly 12-minute song, “The End.” The band recorded the album at L.A.’s Sunset Sound Recording Studios, from August 24 to 31, 1966, almost entirely live in the studio. • The Doors appeared on TV’s “American Bandstand” on July 22, 1967, lip-synching “Crystal Ship” and “Light My Fire.” Their Ed Sullivan appearance was September 17 of that year. Their first television appearance ever was in Los Angeles on KTLA’s “Shebang” show on January 1, 1967, but that was not a national broadcast. • The Doors’ last two concerts with the original four members were in Dallas and New Orleans on December 11 and 12, 1970. No complete recording or even set list is known to exist from the New Orleans concert.
December 12, 2010 •
• The most commonly agreed-on facts of the show are that the band quit early because Morrison wasn’t feeling well, and that they played “Soul Kitchen,” “Break On Through” and “Light My Fire.” • The Doors reclaimed their status as a premier act with “L.A. Woman” in 1971. It contained two top-20 hits and has gone on to be their second best-selling studio album, surpassed in sales only by their first record. The singles “L.A. Woman,” “Love Her Madly” (the Doors last top ten hit) and “Riders On The Storm” remain mainstays of rock radio programming, and the latter was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009 for its special significance to recorded music. • On March 13, 1971, following the recording of “L.A. Woman,” Morrison left the Doors and moved to Paris. On June 16, Morrison’s last known recording was made when he befriended two street musicians at a bar and invited them to a studio. This recording was finally released in 1994 on an album entitled “The Lost Paris Tapes.” • Morrison died on July 3, 1971. According to the official account of his death, he was found in a Paris apartment bathtub by his girlfriend. Pursuant to French law, no autopsy was performed because the medical examiner claimed to have found no evidence of foul play. • The Doors released two albums after Morrison’s death. The first was “Other Voices,” released in 1971; they had already started recording while Morrison was in Paris. The other was “Full Circle,” released in 1972. • How popular were The Doors? Well, they sold 32 million albums in the United States alone, but their worldwide sales number is unknown.

Showcase Greeting Cards in a Holiday Scrapbook Now that the first white advent candle is lit on our fresh pine wreath, strings of shimmering mini lights frame our kitchen window, and a flurry of Christmas cards outnumbers the junk mail in our mailbox, I can genuinely sing, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...” Those holiday cards in multicolored envelopes arrive from a hodgepodge of senders, from new business associates to old friends and relatives living in far-flung places. Receiving personalized pieces of mail feels like an old-fashioned gesture in this digital age, and that is why I appreciate them more and more. While sending holiday greetings via email is “green,” and certainly a thrifty approach, there is something about a handmade card or handwritten greeting
Boxing Day Boxing Day is a holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada and many other Commonwealth nations. It is spent with family and friends at open gatherings with lots of food, fun and fellowship. And it has nothing to do with pugilism.
Simple Holiday Bark Keep around the house for a holiday treat -- or wrap it up as a gift!
• How did the name “Boxing Day” come into existence? Some think the name derives from an old English tradition: In exchange for ensuring that wealthy landowners’ Christmases ran smoothly, their servants were allowed to take the 26th off to visit their families. The employers gave each servant a box containing gifts and bonuses (and sometimes leftover food).
12 ounces (semisweet) chocolate, chopped 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped 1/2 cup (coarsely crushed) candy canes or peppermint candies
• In those countries that observe Boxing Day, December 26 is commonly referred to both as Boxing Day and as St. Stephen’s Day.
that pleases, as if it were a special holiday gem chosen especially for me.
• If Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then the next weekday is declared a bank or public holiday. In the United Kingdom and some other countries, this is accomplished by Royal Proclamation.
Over the years, the kids and I either taped our Christmas cards to doorways or tossed them in a big bowl on the dining-room table as they arrived. But frankly, they didn’t get the attention “gems” deserve. Then I tried something new that has proven to be a household hit. I started a simple holiday card scrapbook tradition.
• In some Canadian provinces, Boxing Day is a statutory holiday that is always celebrated on December 26. • In Canadian provinces where Boxing Day is a statutory holiday, and it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, compensation days are given in the following week. If Boxing Day falls on a Sunday, Christmas Day would be on a Saturday, so in countries where these are both bank or public holidays, the statutory holiday for Christmas is moved to Monday, December 27, and the statutory holiday for Boxing Day is moved to Tuesday, December 28. • Canadian shops open their doors as early as 6 a.m. on Boxing Day to let in people, who often line up in front of shops during the night. They also refer to this post-Christmas clearance sale week as the “13th month.” • Many stores have major sales on Boxing Day, and the online version of these deals is sometimes known as Cyber Boxing Day. In the UK in 2008, Boxing Day was the busiest online shopping day of the year. In 2009, many retailers with both online and London’s High Street store locations launched their High Street sales on Boxing Day.
I bought an inexpensive standard-style scrapbook with big, plain pages at a discount store, tied a 20-inch length of ribbon to the top of the spiral binding, and attached a roll of double-sided tape to the opposite end of the ribbon so it would always be handy, dangling along the side. As cards arrived, I simply slapped a strip of tape on the backside of the card and immediately stuck it onto a page in the scrapbook. Tiny cards, big cards, photo cards and postcards -- every kind of card landed in the book in minutes. I glued our family Christmas photo card on the cover, and attached a large envelope for storing “annual holiday letters” on the inside of the back cover. I set aside the first two pages for invitations to Christmas parties, open houses in the neighborhood and ticket stubs from concerts and plays. During the holidays, I leave our in-process “coffee table book” out for all ages to thumb through at their leisure. They don’t miss a page. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter as we talk about memories of old friends or share details of their new adventures.
• Boxing Day was recognized as a bank holiday in the UK and Wales through the Bank Holidays Act of 1871.
Now lined up in a neat row in our bookcase with a bit of space left for a new 2010 edition, six bulging scrapbooks have become family holiday reference books that we find ourselves reading over and over.
• According to folk culture, on Boxing Day the wren, the king of the birds, was captured in a “box” and taken to each and every house in the village where he was asked for a good year and successful harvest.

My husband and I just went Christmas tree shopping. Christmas trees have been sold commercially in the United States since about 1850. We always enjoy inviting family and friends over to help us decorate the tree, drink mugs of coffee and hot cocoa, and eat cookies. This old-fashioned family celebration is one of the highlights of our holiday season. This delicious recipe for Decorated Tree Cookies is fun to make. You bake the cookies ahead of time and decorate them with your family and friends during the tree-trimming party. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

As Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios -- $5 billion in debt -fights off bankruptcy and the same billionaire trying to take over Lionsgate, as well as the sale of its vast film library, we long for movies made by the most legendary studio that ever existed.
Love Thy Neighbor? Not These Dogs DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My German shepherd, “Sandy,” is a sweet-tempered dog who has a loud bark but is not aggressive at all. She will lie down once a visitor comes in and stop barking without my telling her to. However, every morning she goes over to a hole in our fence and waits until the neighbor’s dog is let out to play. Then, she’ll growl and bark like mad. The other dog will do the same, rushing up to the hole and snarling at Sandy. I’m afraid if they see each other in the street, they’ll fight. What can I do? -- Jane T. in Dothan, Ala. DEAR JANE: Is your neighbor aware of the situation? What’s his or her take? If you haven’t talked about the dogs’ behavior with them yet, do so. Don’t issue any ultimatums, just say, “Have you noticed our dogs growl at each other through the fence? Does it worry you?” The easiest short-term solution, after talking to the neighbors, is to fix the hole in the fence. This might stop the territorial barking and growling, although neighbor dogs tend to bark at each other despite fences they can’t see through. If your neighbors agree, arrange a “play date” to see how your dogs act when they’re in the same space together. Both should be on a leash and controlled by their owner. If they show any aggression like snarling or lunging, separate them immediately. A fight could make the aggression worse. Your dog and the neighbors’ dog may be relegated to barking at each other through a fence that doesn’t allow them to see each other, in order to keep the peace.

MGM was founded in 1915 as Triangle Pictures and went on to make some of the greatest movies of all time. Surely you can find one of your favorites in a list of classics that includes “The Wizard of Oz,” “Gone With the Wind,” “Ben Hur,” “Showboat,” “An American in Paris,” “Gigi,” “The Dirty Dozen” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” There was a time when MGM boasted having “more stars than in the heavens!” Famed MGM publicist Esme Chandlee recalls, “When I worked at MGM we had 51 major stars under contract. Stars like Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Fred Astaire, James Stewart and Lucille Ball, to name a few.” When Clark Gable’s contract ended at MGM, he wanted no press or fanfare as he rode off the lot, just Ms. Chandlee in the car with him. Esme recalls, “I was on a location shooting with Gable, and he asked if I needed a ride home, and I said that would be wonderful. Then we boarded his private plane and flew home. You’d be hard put to find any star today who can measure up to him, except maybe Tom Selleck, whose publicity I did for most of his career.” In the 1970s, a corporate raider acquired MGM, which was the beginning of the end for the great studio. He sold 38 acres of the studio back lot to housing developers, sold Dorothy’s ruby slippers for $15,000 and even sold Bert Lahr’s lion suit from “Oz” for $2,400. He used the money to build the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. MGM became a studio without a home lot and stopped making films to run its hotel, which today has been stripped of all MGM memorabilia. In 1981, MGM acquired United Artists and became MGM/ UA. In 1986, the vast film library of MGM was sold to Ted Turner for his cable TV channels. Also in ‘86, Leo the Lion, who hung over the studio entrance for decades, disappeared from sight forever. Turner later merged with Warner Bros., which now controls the greatest films made by MGM. Today, the MGM lot is owned by Sony Pictures, which bought the MGM name for $5 billion. In 2006, Tom Cruise and his partner, Paula Wagner, bought United Artists to make movies under that name. The deal didn’t include the James Bond, Pink Panther or Rocky movies, which MGM kept. Even though the last Bond film, “Casino Royale,” was a success, the next 007 film has been put on hold due to a lack of money to produce it. Most movie people in Hollywood are sick over the way this once great studio, the backbone of Hollywood, has been dissected, picked apart and sold off piece by piece. It is truly sad we will never again see the likes of the great MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Studios.

Asthma Usually Controllable DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 50-year-old female, and I have asthma that seems to be getting worse. In October, I got the H1N1 flu and had to go to the hospital twice because of breathing problems. I get scared every time I have a simple cold. I was told that my asthma is allergy-induced, and I have been on a daily inhaler ever since. I saw an allergist, who tested me and wanted to put me on allergy shots. He said they may or may not work, but they don’t cure asthma. Then what’s the point? Does oxygen help? Are there natural ways to prevent asthma? -- M.M. ANSWER: Asthma is a chronic condition. Looking for a cure is not realistic in many cases. Looking for control is realistic. It’s an inflammation of the airways -- the bronchi, the tubes that bring fresh air into the lungs and remove carbon dioxide from the lungs. The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive. They constrict on slight provocation and obstruct the flow of air. Furthermore, they pour out thick mucus, which adds to airflow obstruction.

EMPLOYMENT LOOKING FOR 10 serious people that want to make money from home. Gary Sims 208-317-7214
Respiratory viruses do trigger attacks, and that’s why the flu virus was such a problem for you. You should be sure to get the yearly flu vaccine. Allergies can be another trigger for attacks. Allergy shots are not guaranteed to stop them, but they can lessen their intensity and frequency. You might want to reconsider your position. Remove airborne irritants from your home and bedroom by getting rid of feather pillows, shag rugs and dust mites. If you have a pet, and you notice that exposure to it brings on an attack, then you have to limit where the pet is allowed in the home. An air-conditioned home keeps outdoor allergens out of your environment. For an acute attack, you need a medicine that acts quickly to dilate airways. Albuterol (Proventil) is such a medicine. If your long-term control medicine isn’t preventing attacks, get another. The list of asthma medicines is very long. Oxygen is helpful in severe attacks. I know of no natural substance that alleviates asthma. The asthma booklet describes the many treatments for asthma. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 602W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I must have bumped my ring finger. It is painful, and the top part is swollen on the side of the nail. I think some pus is forming. What can I soak it in? I cannot go to a doctor. -- B.P. ANSWER: You describe a paronychia (PAIR-uh-NICKee-uh), an infection of the skin and tissues bordering a fingernail. If the skin and tissues show only mild swelling, then frequent daily soaks in hot water can bring it to a head and cause it to drain. If it is quite swollen and painful, you’ll have to see a doctor. Try an emergency-department doctor. It has to be incised to permit drainage, and antibiotics will be needed. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. (c) 2010 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
Gift Card Pros and Cons For many who do last-minute holiday shopping, speed is essential. There’s no more time to ponder and compare and wander the aisles looking for the perfect gift. Gift cards can be a fast purchase, but you still need to take a little care. Consider the recipient’s interests. Teenagers might appreciate a gift card to a music store. Handy homeowners will use a gift card to the local hardware store. For women, if you can find an all-mall card, so much the better. However, not all gift cards are alike. While the industry used to be guilty of abuse with gift-card expiration dates and fees, new rules this year force merchants to keep the cards (and the balance) active for five years. If there are perpurchase fees, they must be written on the package. Balance carry-over fees can’t be assessed until the card has been used at least once. After that, however, fees can be assessed once a month, and there’s nothing to limit the amount of fees that can be charged for that. If the card is lost, there’s no guarantee you can get a replacement, even with your receipt. If you can get a replacement, there are sure to be fees. Do your homework and be sure what you’re getting. There are new warnings out this year about pre-loaded gift cards you take off the rack: There might not be any money there by the time your recipient uses them. Scammers have figured out how to read the code on a card, call the toll-free number on the back, and then spend that money. Instead of buying a pre-loaded card, get a blank card from a clerk or customer services and have the amount loaded while you wait. Then hold on to your receipt in case something happens. For the Internet-savvy recipient, consider an e-gift card, also known as a virtual gift card. You e-mail a special code to the recipient, who prints it out and takes it to the store. It spends just like a plastic gift card. Be careful of the store: If it goes bankrupt, the gift cards you buy might be worthless. Consider giving cash instead. While it’s thought that nearly 30 percent of gift cards go unused every year, nobody loses track of cash. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to columnreply@gmail.com. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Over 30 Years • It was French playwright Albert Guinon who made the following sage observation: “There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.” • Most people at all familiar with the name Max Schmeling know him as the Great Nazi Hope, the boxer produced by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s to defeat Joe Louis, supposedly proving Aryan superiority. (He did defeat Louis in a match in 1936, though he lost a rematch in 1938.) What most people don’t realize, though, is that Schmeling did not subscribe to Hitler’s beliefs -- he wasn’t even a member of the Nazi party. In fact, during World War II, Schmeling risked his life to save two Jewish children.
