(NC) - Holiday parties, potlucks, and presents may mean your credit card will be the only thing getting a good workout this month. Though you try to be responsible and stay within your budget, somehow you manage to blow it every year. To help your finances through this month, here are some clever ways to avoid overspending: Buy big rolls of wrapping paper instead of single sheets. Little things like gift tags, cards, and wrapping paper can really add up and will eventually just end up in the garbage. To reduce costs, reuse gift bags from previous years or buy a large role of plain brown paper and dress it up with fancy bows and string. You can also make your own name tags by using decorative edge scissors.
Eat a good meal before you leave home or bring a snack with you. Most people don’t realize how much money is spent buying food and snacks at the mall; money that impacts your shopping budget’s bottom line. Go ahead and buy a snack, but eat the big meals at home - your wallet and waistline nee will will both thankk you. y u. yo

GIFT IDEAS FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST (NC) - While it may seem daunting to check off everyone on your holiday gift list each year, there are some gift ideas that are sure to please everyone and you may not even need to set foot inside a shopping mall.
*
Know someone who can’t go a day without their favourite hot beverage? Look no further than the coffee shop around the corner for a gift that everyone loves, like a new mug or a gift card.
*
Post-holidays can be long and dreary, but also a perfect time to go see the latest film out in theatre. Stop by the theatre or order movie tickets online that can be used in the New Year. Throw in a voucher for that expensive popcorn and you’ve found an entertainment hit with friends and family of any age.
*
What’s the gift that keeps giving all year round? Magazine subscriptions. Not only can you order a subscription online or over the phone, but picking up a copy of a particular magazine from a convenience store makes for a nice gift to
unwrap and enjoy until the first issue is delivered. This holiday season, spare yourself some stress.
You don’t always have to spend a lot of time and effort to find the perfect gift.

Holiday Entertaining with Festive • • • • • • (NC) - Janette Ewen is an expert when it comes to making holidays happier—as a décor and lifestyle expert, she knows how to deck the halls in style. This year, follow her “dos and don’ts” to get into the holiday spirit, without the holiday stress:
••• Choose a theme. This can help to guide décor, food and even background music choices. Whether it’s winter wonderland, or something more elaborate like an evening in Rome, you’ll have more fun and your guests will remember
Body Contouring with Lipo Laser Inch Loss Guarantee! Home of the 10-Minute Workout with Total Body Vibration State-of-the-Art Detoxification with Ionic Foot Spa and Infrared Sauna
it for years to come.
••• Embrace the tinsel and the glitter. Forget about restraint. This year, more is more. Look for bright, off-beat items at dollar stores that can add a splash without the cash. ••• Create a beautiful first impression. Make sure the entrance to your home is spotless since it’s the first thing your guests will see. Stash cleaning supplies close to where you’ll need them. Janette suggests a Swiffer Sweepervac in the front hall closet for quick clean-ups.
••• Exhaust yourself cleaning. If you’re having a party, get as much done as you can a few days before hand. The most important thing: clear away the clutter. Not sure where to put it? File it in
festive-print boxes and make it part of the décor.
••• Spend all your time cooking. There are excellent prepared foods available so you won’t be exhausted when guests arrive. Fake don’t bake—just dress everything up on beautiful plates with your own garnishes. To create the aroma of freshly baked cookies, keep a product like Febreze Air Effects on hand with the ‘cinnamon sugar & home’ scent. It will give you all the aroma and none of the fuss. ••• Get overwhelmed with the post-party clean-up. Load your dishwasher as dirty dishes get collected from the table, so you’ll have one less thing to worry about at the end of the party. Even if you can’t run your dishwasher until the next day, use a quality dishwashing tablet, like Cascade All-in-One ActionPacs, which can help power away 24-hour stuckon foods from the night before.

for your holiday wrapping (NC) - If everyone in Canada wrapped just three gifts in reused paper or gift bags, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 hockey rinks.* That’s a lot of paper! When wrapping your gifts this holiday season, consider making your own recycled or reusable wrapping paper. “From old scarves to baskets, there are many common items around the house that make great wrapping for your gifts, all it takes is a little imagination ,” says Mary Desjardins, Executive Director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “Not only will Mother Nature thank you, but your loved ones will appreciate the originality and your effort.” TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) offers the following ideas for making your own gift wrapping this year:
* Recycle artwork
— Save your child’s colourful paintings and drawings throughout the year and turn them into holiday gift wrap for grandparents and other family members.
* Photos
— Make your presents picture perfect by pasting photos of family and friends on old shoe boxes or reusable bags.
* Wallpaper & newspaper — Leftover wallpaper is easy to work with, is durable and adds a pop to presents. Add some ribbon or beads for a finished look. Do you have a friend or relative who is always telling jokes? Use the comics section of your newspaper for wrapping.

* Fabric
— Pick some of your most colourful scarves, festive tea towels or old clothing and get to work. Perfect for wine, any boxed item or clothing, fabric creates a beautiful and simple way to wrap presents. Secure ends with a safety pin, button or knot, and top with a bow or sprig of holly or pine for a seasonal touch. Your fabric wrapping can either be part of your gift (like a tea towel) or be used to wrap presents year after year.

How to craft a lot of fun for the holidays (NC) - Across our beautiful country, Canadians are actively preparing for one of the “most wonderful times of the year”. They gather in the homes of their loved ones, sing carols in front of a crackling fire and decorate their homes with holiday cheer. Because of the brisk air outside, Canadians are poised to take full advantage of the warmth that homemade holiday décor can bring to their homes.
“The holidays are a perfect time of year for families to get together and get creative,” says Shelli Gardner, cofounder of Stampin’ Up!, a crafting and décor company explains. “Whether you’re decorating your house prior to the festivities, creating a perfect table setting for your holiday meal or gathering all of your memories in a scrapbook, our crafts will give you and your

This holiday season there are several toys on the market that cater to the act of role play - in a pint-size way.

safety tips during the holidays (NC) - As families gather together during the holiday season, many Canadians have no choice but to leave their beloved pet home alone. But without proper attention to safety, a pet left with holiday décor can unwrap an unwanted wish list of dangers. A recent survey by CSA, a leading testing and certification organization, shows one in four Canadians has experienced an accident with a pet involving holiday decorations, or knows someone who has. In an effort to help avoid accidents and keep pets and families safe this season, CSA offers the following tips: • Cords are not chew toys: Sometimes you can’t prevent your pet from nosing around. Carefully inspect holiday light strings yearly and discard any with frayed cords, cracked lamp holders or loose con-
nections. Ensuring that all holiday decorations are in proper working order and all cords are fully insulated are important steps to avoiding electrical and fire hazards and keeping pets safe when you’re away.
• Up, up and away: When decorating a tree or other indoor areas, place breakable ornaments and electrical decorations up high to protect both small children and pets. It’s also important to keep potentially deadly ingestibles out of pets reach, such as chocolate, poinsettias, tinsel and colourful ornaments that may look like a ball or toy.
• Spot the mark to keep Spot safe: When purchasing light strings, extension cords, electrical decorations, or spotlights and floodlights, look for a certification mark such as one from CSA International. This provides assurance that products are tested and certified to applicable standards for safety and performance.
Fresh trees are less likely to dry out and become a fire hazard. Artificial trees with electrical lights should have a certification mark on them and should be made of fire-resistant materials. Pet owners should take the time to tether their Christmas tree, or use baby gates to limit a pet’s access to the tree.
• Safe storage: After the holidays, wrap and store lights and decorations in their original packaging, as they likely contain manufacturer’s instructions on replacement bulbs and details for proper product use. Keep pets away from packages as well as your gift wrapping area. Ingested string, plastic, and even wrapping paper can lead to intestinal blockage and require a trip to the vet.
• No sparks for Sparky: Whenever possible, protect family and pets from electric shock by connecting all outdoor lighting into receptacles protected by weatherproof ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
• Fresh or fake, be safe: If you buy a real tree, make sure it’s fresh.
• Cat and canine candle concerns: Don’t leave lighted candles unattended. Pets may burn themselves or cause a fire if they knock candles over. Be sure to use appropriate candle holders, placed on a stable surface. And if you leave the room, blow the candle out.

(NC) - As much as kids love eating delicious treats during the holidays, there’s something else they love just as much - creating and baking the treats with their own hands. The holidays are a great time for baking in the kitchen with kids, as they can let their imaginations soar and really get into the festive spirit.
“Baking with kids does not have to be intimidating and can be loads of fun, for both adults and kids,” says Trish Magwood, award-winning cookbook author of In My Mother’s Kitchen, and mom of three. “Picking recipes that don’t require baking, like Santa Claus Faces, a holiday version of the beloved Rice Krispies Treats, is
often the best way to go, so kids can dig in without any worry or fuss.” Follow Trish Magwood’s tried and true tips for baking with kids:
baking supplies, plastic utensils, kids aprons, little bowls, and draw on your kitchen kit for any special baking occasion. Make the fun easy for you too.
• AGE APPROPRIATE TASKS • FOLLOW THE CHEF MANTRA - Gauge tasks and kids ages before OF “MIS EN PLACE” - Have every- assigning jobs. There’s something for thing in its place or in simple terms, prepare. Make squares or cookies ahead of time, and once the oven is off and the knives are away, enlist the kids for the fun job of icing and decorating. Put out little bowls of icing, sparkles and candies and relax while they enjoy.

But as the options multiply and the shopping frenzy escalates, the answer becomes more and more complicated… and expensive! It is important to help children put the holiday season into perspective. Parents should take a look at how they are spending money and time this holiday season. If their list is more about expensive gifts, party clothes and concerts. Think about deliberately cutting something back. Make time for the pleasures of family this Christmas: skating on an outdoor rink, baking and decorating Christmas cookies, driving around town to look at Christmas decora-
tions, or, calling a snow day and staying home for a movie marathon. This creates traditions that children will remember. Helping somebody less fortunate is an important reality check for the whole family. One Canadian family uses the World Vision Gift Catalogue (worldvision.ca/gifts) to help a child in need. “We give each of our children some money to choose a gift from the catalogue,” says Lucie, of Montreal. “They not only practice an act of kindness, but they learn about how other children live. It helps them appreciate everything they’ve got.” Great holiday ideas are habitforming. So why just save them for the holidays? Going easy on the expenses, investing in fun family time, and remembering people who are less fortunate are lifestyle choices.

This first tree, decorated with white candles, was a balsam fir cut from the dense forest in the region that is now the city of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. Even though we’re no longer using lit candles as tree ornaments, the risk of fire remains real. Preventing them is as simple as ensuring the tree is regularly watered.

“Keep the tree watered,” said Wayne Ross, insurance expert at Aviva Canada. “It’s our mantra at this time of year. Not only does it create a fragrant indoor winter wonderland atmosphere, but a wet tree is a safer tree.” Here are some other safety tips to help keep your home not only festive, but safe as well. • When buying your tree, make sure the needles don’t fall out when you bounce the tree on the ground.

Frosty the Snowman was a fairy tale they say. He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could dance and play Just the same as you and me. Thumpty-thump-thump, Thumpty-thump-thump! Look at Frosty go. Thumpty-thump-thump, Thumpty-thump-thump! Over the hills of snow. Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun Now before I melt away.” Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there, all around the square, saying “Catch me if you can!” He led them down the streets of town right to the village cop. He only paused a moment when they head him holler “Stop!” For Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye, saying “Don’t you cry. I’ll be back again someday.” Thumpty-thump-thump, Thumpty-thump-thump! Look at Frosty go. Thumpty-thump-thump, Thumpty-thump-thump! Over the hills of snow.
