Hello Reader,Q & A Ministries would like to take this time to say;
“Merry Christmas” to all our readers. May this holidayseason be filled with God’s blessings as we celebrateits true meaning: “The birth of ‘Christ’ our Savior &Lord.”
As we move into the year 2012, we would like to hearfrom you in the area of a “New Year’s Vow.” We say avow because it is much stronger than a resolution. Foryou see, a vow, according to Webster’s dictionary is: asolemn promise or assertion; one by which a person isbound to an act, service, or condition.
When we make a vow it causes us to be on the high-est level of commitment to God plus it strengthens ourlives in the area of integrity. God’s Word says, in thebook of Numbers:
“If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oathto bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not vi-olate his word; he shall do according to all that pro-ceeds out of his mouth.”
Society has fallen short in the area of integrity. Webelieve that God is looking for men and women whowill stand and say: “Let my yes be yes and my no beno.” There is a growing need for many positive rolemodels for this generation. That is why we are askingindividuals to make a New Year’s Vow; a vow that willlead to accountability; a vow that will show ouryounger generation that a man’s word can truly bebacked up by his actions.
Will you take this challenge? Will you make a NewYear’s Vow? Will you be that individual who willdemonstrate true character? If so, then write your vowfor 2012 and send it in to:[email protected] or [email protected]
We want to hear from you. We want to start the NewYear out with a different twist; and make it a truly“new beginnings” a “new start” for many who are long-ing to hear and see men and women of real ethics.Let’s rise up and be counted among those who standfor integrity, honesty and a godly character.
May God’s blessings be an everyday occurrence inyour life.Blessing upon Blessing,Q & A Ministries

That sports jerseyfrom sophomore yearof high school hasseen better days, butyou can't seem topart with it evennow. What aboutthat hair band con-cert T -shirt you'retoo embarrassed toadmit is still tuckedin the back of yourcloset? Are the kidsmaking fun of yourcollege alma matertee that has holesunder the arms? T-shirts hold specialplaces in the heartsof many people. Nowquirky, athletic anddownright memo-rable tees can beturned into cus-tomized gifts foreveryone on a holi-day shopping list.
T-shirts tell a lotabout a person -- in-terests, politicalviews, favoritesports teams -- andmore. The averageperson has a collec-tion of T-shirts ac-quired through theyears taking upspace in closets anddrawers, all becauseit can be difficult tothrow out shirts thathave so many mem-ories. Clever gift-givers can use theseT-shirt collections tocreate unique andthoughtful gifts thatwill be appreciated
throughout theyears. Here are someideas for gifting.
* Cut up T-shirts tomake a scrapbook ofcertain times in aperson's life. Includefunny anecdotes,photographs andartwork to customizethe book for the re-cipient.
* Head to the localcraft store and pickup an empty shad-
owbox frame. Fold afriend or loved one'sprized T -shirt andplace it on display inthe shadowbox (thedepth of the boxmakes it easier toaccommodate thebulk entire shirt).The "artwork" canthen be displayed ina bedroom or den.
* Turn T-shirts intoa decorative or cud-dly quilt for adultsand children.
s t i t c h ' T(www.st i tcht .com,212.860.7029) craftsone-of-a-kind, hand-made compositionsfrom your own spe-cial T -shirt collec-tions -- for any occa-sion. The companywill produce quiltsthat fit twin- to king-size beds, crib quiltsand pillowcases andshoppers can cus-tomize the color, sizeand layout of eachproject.
"Each T-shirt tellsa story, each one is apart of my life," of-fers happy customerJudy Caliendo. "Mystitch'T quilt makes
me laugh and re-member -- and that'sthe best part."
* Talented sewerscan turn vintage T-shirts into newworks of fashionableattire. For example,a graphic tee can besewn to an elastic-waisted skirt to cre-ate a pull-on dressperfect for a buddingfashionista. Down-size favorite T-shirtsso they can be wornby children.
* Make holidaydecorating easy forindividuals who loveto "do up" theirhomes in holiday
decor, top to bottom.Gather ugly, quirky,and seasonal holi-day T -shirts andsweatshirts andhave stitch'T turnthem into a holiday-inspired quilt per-fect for tossing overa recliner or sofa.Every year the quiltcan be part ofholiday decoratingtradition.
Take out those T-shirts hidden indrawers and closetsand show off teepride with customgifts sure to bring asmile to the faces offriends and familythis season.

The holiday seasonis upon us onceagain, and with itcomes the season'snotoriously hecticpace. With crowdedsocial calendars andthe stress of holidayshopping, it's easy tofeel overwhelmedonce the season hitsfull swing.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y ,many people havetrouble stayinghealthy through thehectic holiday sea-son. With so much todo, it's easy to puthealth on the backburner during theholidays. But howev-er hectic the holidayseason can be, thereare ways to keep thefamily happy andhealthy this holidayseason.
* Encourage kids towash their hands.Germs are oftenspread most quickly
through our hands,which are in con-stant contact withhotbeds for germs,including door-knobs. While adultsmight be quick towash their hands af-ter they sneeze orcough, kids are oftenlax in the handwashing department.But washing handsthoroughly is an ef-fective way to wardoff winter germs thatattach to hands afterwe sneeze, cough orsimply touch a door-knob. Encouragekids to be diligentabout washing theirhands, not only afterthey use the rest-room but wheneverthey sneeze, coughor arrive home fromschool.
* Keep indoor aircrisp and clean.Bringing home air-borne germs, suchas sickness-causing
bacteria and othercontaminants, is in-evitable during theholiday season. Thekids' school is abreeding ground forsuch germs, as is thenearby shoppingmall filled with holi-day shoppers.
While it might beimpossible to avoidbringing home theseunwanted holidayguests, it's not im-possible to fightthem off once theydo get home. Em-ploying electrolyzedwater technology,the SANYO AirWasher PlusTM sup-presses airbornebacteria and germswhile eliminatingunpleasant odors inthe home. What'smore, the Air WasherPlus utilizes a HEPAfiltration system toremove 99.97 per-cent of airborne par-ticles and allergens,
ensuring that nomatter who's comingto visit this holidayseason, hosts won'thave to worry aboutthe germs that areno doubt comingwith them.
* Circulate indoorair. Stagnant air in-doors can also in-crease the liklihoodof cold and flu. Cen-tral heating can drythe body out andlead to dehydration,making it harder forthe body to flush outpoisons and germsduring the wintermonths. The SANYOAir Washer Plus uti-lizes a 3-directionalair flow system tomaximize the flow ofair, cleaning all ar-eas of the room whileincreasing comfortlevels. Unlike manyair cleaners and pu-rifiers that have justa single output, theAir Washer Plus has
an upward stream,leftward stream andrightward stream toevenly circulate airthroughout theroom.
* Get outdoors.Even if the weatheroutside is frightful, itcan be beneficial tospend some timeoutdoors during thewinter months.While it's best toobey the local weath-er authority and ad-visories, if there's norestrictions onspending time out-doors, getting out-side can help thebody fend off coldand flu. Because fewpeople spend timeoutdoors in the win-ter, germs can gath-er inside and circu-late among thosewho spend signifi-cant time indoors.As a result, thosewho spend all theirtime indoors are
more vulnerable tocold and flu. Whenpossible, bundle upand spend some timeoutdoors in the freshair.
* Squeeze in somedaily exercise. Whilethe holiday season iscertainly hectic,adults and kids alikeshould still find timeto fit in daily exer-cise. Kids might gettheir daily dose ingym class, butadults need to maketime as well. Exer-cise can prove agreat means to re-lieving holidaystress, and a bodythat's strong and fitwill be prove morecapable of defendingitself against air-borne germs andbacteria.

Many Christmastraditions are olderthan some cele-brants might think.The tradition oflighting up a Christ-mas tree, for exam-ple, dates back tothe days beforeChristmas lights.Before electric-pow-ered twinkle lightswere invented andeven before electrici-ty was discovered,
people used actualcandles to adorn theChristmas tree. Asone can imagine,having an openflame next to adried-out tree madefor some fast fires.That's why it wascustomary to keep abucket of water nextto the tree as well.As if fire wasn'tenough, the tinselused to decorate
trees was made fromstrips of silver andeven lead -- some-thing that is nowknown to be a healthhazard to adults andchildren alike. Al-though we've come along way from can-dles and lead, treesthat are overly drypaired with lightsthat have frayedwires can just aseasily lead to fires.Plus, plastic tinselcan be a chokinghazard for children
and pets. OneChristmas staplethat has lost its sta-tus as a safety haz-ard is thepoinsettiaplant. Poinsettiasare a tropical plantthat have become afixture during theChristmas season. Ithas long beenthought that poin-settias are poison-
ous to people andanimals. While thereis some toxicity tothe plant, it wouldrequire the ingestionof hundreds of leavesto get a toxic dose ofa plant's poison. In-gestion may simplycause a case of vom-iting or diarrhea in-stead. But poinsettialeaves are said to
have an unpleasanttaste, so one biteand most childrenand animals willprobably turn away.Perhaps one of thebiggest hazardscome Christmas --both then and now -- is not havingenough turkey oreggnog to go aroundfor holiday guests!

• In 320 AD, Pope Julius I and other religiousleaders specified Dec. 25 as the official date of thebirth of Jesus Christ.
• In the 13th century, St. Francis of Assisi intro-duced Christmas carols to formal church services.
• In 1531, in Germany, the first printed referenceto Christmas trees appeared.
• The Christmas tree was first decorated withlights in the 16th century. It is believed that MartinLuther, the Protestant reformer, was so taken withthe Christmas night sky that he added lighted can-dles to the tree to bring “the lights of the stars” intothe home of his family.

• A wreath with holly, red berries and other deco-rations began from at least the 17th century. Holly,with its sharply pointed leaves, symbolized thethorns in Christ’s crown-of-thorns. Red berries sym-bolized the drops of Christ’s blood. A wreath atChristmas signified a home that celebrated to birthof Christ.
• In 1818, “Silent Night” was written by Austrianpriest Joseph Mohr. Legend has it that his church’sorgan broke on the day before Christmas. Mohrcould not imagine Christmas without music, so hesat down to write a carol that could be sung by a
choir to guitar music. Later that night, the people inthe little Austrian church sang “Stille Nacht” for thefirst time.
• In 1834, Queen Victoria’s husband, PrinceAlbert, brought the first Christmas tree to WindsorCastle for the Royal family.
• In 1836, Alabama became the first state todeclare Christmas a legal holiday.
• The first commercial Christmas card, producedin 1846, featured a drawing of family members hap-pily toasting each other with glasses of wine — ashockingly decadent portrait that was immediatelycondemned by temperance advocates.
• In 1856, President Franklin Pierce decorates thefirst White House Christmas tree.
• In 1907, Oklahoma became the last state todeclare Christmas a legal holiday.
• In 1937, the first postage stamp to commemo-rate Christmas was issued in Austria.

Christmas through the ages
This fabulous cake won third place in the statefinals, Everybody Loves Chocolate contest. Developedby Lynette Shenk, of Luray, VA, we thought thiswould make a sensational, centerpiece dessert foryour holiday table. It’s huge, dense and layered witha hint of mint — perfect for the holidays. It’ll serveabout 16.
Cake:3 cups flour2 cups sugar1 tablespoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt2 1.4 oz. pkg. sugar-free instant chocolate pudding1 cup Cocoa powder1/2 cup Canola oil2 cups warm water1 tablespoon Vanilla8 egg yolks8 egg whites1/2 teaspoon Cream of TartarPreheat oven to 325°. Use a clean 10” tube pan or
three 9” round layer pans. Separate eggs. Placewhites in a deep bottomed bowl with cream of tartarand beat until peaks form, but it isn’t dry. Combine
dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl;then combine wet and dry. Once whites are done, foldwhites into chocolate mixture, mixing until the stiffbatter is smooth. Pour batter into pan(s) and place onlowest rack and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Tube panwill take longer. Remove cake(s) from oven, but do notinvert pan(s). Cake will be heavier than an angel foodor chiffon, but lighter than a German chocolate.
Filling:2 cups Heavy whipping cream1 teaspoon Mint extract1/4 cup sugarGreen food coloring (opt.)Cool cake completely. Whip cream; gradually add
sugar while mixing then add mint flavor to taste andjust a tiny bit of color, if desired. Slice tube cake into3 layers. Spread between layers, then ice withWhipped Chocolate Ganache.
Whipped Chocolate Ganache:2 cups Heavy whipping cream16-18 oz. dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
or chipsHeat cream in heavy saucepan just until it starts to
boil. Remove from heat; add chocolate all at once andstir until chocolate is melted. Cool in refrigerator(several hours - consistency should be like thickpudding). Whip until soft peaks form (over whip-ping may cause mixture to become lumpy). Frostthe sides and top of cake. Using a hot spatula,warmed in hot water and dried well, offers smoothspreading.
Garnish: Melt 1/4 cup white and 1/4 cup darkchocolate chips and drizzle each on top and sidesof frosted cake.

When the time comes tomake New Year's resolu-tions, the conventionalwisdom is to focus onweight. Such wisdom isunderstandable, as manypeople spend the holidayseason indulging in bigmeals and all the treatssynonymous with havingfun.
While it's acceptable tomake healthy resolu-tions, a slimmer waistand a healthier dietshould not be the onlygoals for the year ahead.In light of the last severalyears, it's important formen and women to makefinancial resolutions forthe year ahead, too. Noone can say with certain-ty when, or if, the econo-my will rebound, andmen and women shouldlook at the New Year as asuitable time to makesome financial resolu-tions for the future.
* Reassess your invest-ment plan. Since 2008,the market has been upand down like a rollercoaster. Those who have
weathered the storm haveno doubt witnessed biggains and significantlosses over the last fewyears, and the turn of thecalendar is a great timeto reassess investmentsand possibly make somechanges. Are you takingon more risk than you'recomfortable with? Is yourportfolio too conserva-tive? How well are you di-versifying? Look at yourinvestments from everyangle and determine ifit's time to make somechanges.
* Resolve to be more liq-uid. A 2011 poll from theNational Foundation forCredit Counseling foundthat 64 percent of Ameri-cans would need to utilizea source other than theirsavings account to pay fora $1,000 unplanned ex-pense. That percentage il-lustrates that most adultsjust don't have enoughcash on hand. This year,resolve to be more liquid.Being more liquid enablesyou to more effectivelyhandle emergencies, and
it also helps you avoid be-ing forced to sell invest-ments at the wrong time.
* Shake things up. Ifyou rely on one individualto handle all of your fi-nancial needs, such apractice needs to change.No matter how much youtrust this person, don'tfall into a trap where oneperson acts as your fi-nancial svengali. Such anarrangement proved verycostly to those men andwomen who trusted thelikes of Bernie Madoff, aonce-prominent financierwho turned out to benothing more than acriminal mastermind or-chestrating history'slargest Ponzi scheme.This year, if you haven'tdone so already, makesure your financial advi-sor, money manager, cus-todian, and trustee areall different people.
* Negotiate lower rates.Use the onset of the NewYear as a chance to nego-tiate newer and lower in-terest rates on existingloans or credit cards. If
you have exercised finan-cial responsibility overthe last 12 months, pay-ing down debts and pay-ing all bills on time, thisis the perfect time to ne-gotiate lower rates andreap the rewards of yourgood behavior.
* Don't invest in any-thing you don't under-stand. Too often in-vestors get caught up inso-called expert forecastsand act impulsivelybased on the advice ofsome talking head theysee on television or hearon the radio. Unfortu-nately, such "experts"aren't always certified fi-nancial professionals,and some might evenhave ulterior motives forpushing certain invest-ments and shunning oth-ers. What's more, fewpeople know the trackrecord of these "experts,"so their advice shouldnot be taken at face val-ue. A simple rule for theyear ahead should be tonever invest in anythingyou don't understand. If
an investment opportuni-ty seems worthwhile, doall of your homework togain a solid understand-ing of the opportunity be-fore investing any money.
Healthy resolutions gobeyond a slimmer waistand a healthier diet. Thisyear, resolve to gethealthier financially aswell.

As the calendarturns to a new year,the focus of men andwomen often shifts aswell. After the hecticholiday season hascome and gone, manypeople re-dedicatethemselves to theirpersonal health andwell-being. That re-newed dedicationmight be thanks to allthose big holidaymeals or it might justbe a result of the newcalendar year beingsymbolic of a freshstart.
Regardless of thereasons behind thisrenewed vigor, the op-portunities to makethe next 12 months ahealthier 12 monthsabound. While losingweight might themost popular resolu-tion, there are a host
of other health-relat-ed resolutions indi-viduals can make toimprove their livesover the next 365days.
Resolve to reducestress
Stress is a majorpart of most adults'lives, and that's espe-cially so after thehectic holiday seasonwhen men andwomen are pulled inso many different di-rections. Work is acommon cause ofstress, but family andpersonal finances, es-pecially nowadays,are big sources ofstress as well. Thisyear, resolve to re-duce stress in all as-pects of life. At the of-fice, analyze ways inwhich you can man-
age time more effec-tively, including howto best prioritize workprojects so you don'talways feel as ifyou're up against awall. Outside the of-fice, recognize the im-portance of maintain-ing a personal lifeand its relation to re-ducing stress. Spend-ing time with friendsand family can relaxyou and provide awelcome respite fromthe stress of the of-fice.
Resolve to eatbetter
Losing weight andadopting a healthierdiet are not necessar-ily the same thing.While a healthier dietmight help you loseweight, the goal ofadopting a healthier
diet is to improveoverall health. Ahealthy diet canstrengthen the body'simmune system,making it easier tofight cold, flu andother ailments. Ahealthy diet can alsohelp in the battleagainst any preexist-ing conditions. Forexample, replacingsalt with healthierand flavorful herbscan help reduce highblood pressure, andmany people cannoteven taste the differ-ence once they starteating.
Resolve to exercise more
Much like changinga diet, exercisingmore is often seen asa means to weightloss. While that's apositive side effect ofdaily exercise, thegoal should not be tolose weight. Instead,the goal of daily exer-cise is to get healthi-er. According to theAmerican College ofSports Medicine, ex-ercise helps lower therisk of heart diseaseand hypertension by40 percent while low-ering the risk of de-pression by 30 per-cent. In addition,men and women witha family history of di-
abetes should knowthat regular exerciselowers their risk oftype 2 diabetes bynearly 60 percent. Sowhile exercise is agreat means to losingweight, it's even bet-ter at helping reducethe risk for seriousdisease.
When incorporatingexercise into a dailyroutine, start slowlyand gradually workyour way up to morevigorous exercise reg-imens. Going fullspeed from the outsetis a great way to in-crease risk of injury,which could actuallyrestrict your ability toexercise for sometime.
Resolve to quitsmoking
To nonsmokers,keep up the goodwork. For smokers,perhaps some statis-tics are enough to getyou on the path to-ward quitting smok-ing:
* More than150,000 Americanswere projected to suc-cumb to lung cancerin 2011, according tothe National CancerInstitute.
* The CanadianCancer Society esti-
mated that 20,000Canadians would losetheir lives to lungcancer in 2011.
* More than 6 per-cent of all deaths inthe United Kingdomin 2011 were relatedto lung cancer, ac-cording to Cancer Re-search UK.
If those statisticsaren't enough to getmen and women seri-ous about quittingsmoking, considerthe negative effectsecondhand smokehas on your lovedones. The AmericanCancer Society notesthat roughly 3,000nonsmoking adultsexperience lung can-cer caused by sec-ondhand smoke inthe U.S. each year.When making a reso-lution this year,smokers' top priorityshould be to quitsmoking.
When making reso-lutions at the start ofa new year, men andwomen often focus onhealthy resolutions.But healthy resolu-tions go beyond los-ing a few extrapounds, and manyinvolve dedicationthroughout the yearto improve overallhealth this year andfor years to come.

Many people feel anew calendar yearsymbolizes a freshstart. Perhaps noth-ing illustrates thatbetter than the popu-larity of New Year'sresolutions, whichpeople make in an ef-fort to improve theirquality of life both inthe year ahead andthe years that follow.
Popular plans in-clude resolving to loseweight or quit smok-ing. But homeownerscan make resolutionsfor their homes aswell. The following aresome resolutions toensure your home hasas good a year as youdo over the next 12months.
* Clear away clutter.Spring is the seasonmost people associatewith clearing a homeof clutter, but the im-mediate aftermath ofthe holiday seasonmarks a great time tobegin tidying up. Dur-ing the holiday sea-son, homeowners of-ten arrive home to amailbox filled with
holiday catalogs. Inaddition, extra rolls ofwrapping paper,packaging tape andholiday cards cantransform a normallyneat and airy homeinto a cluttered spacewith little room tobreathe. Instead ofwaiting for spring toclear out clutter, re-solve to spend sometime each month get-ting rid of any unnec-essary items. Not onlywill less clutter makea home less stuffy(particularly duringwinter when the win-dows are closed), itwill also make springcleaning that mucheasier.
* Reduce the energybill. Few people are ina position to scoff atways to save money,and reducing energycosts is a great way todo just that. Thisyear, resolve to turnthe lights off whenyou leave a room, low-er the temperature onthe thermostat duringdaytime hours whenno one is home and
consider alternativemethods of saving en-ergy as well.
Most homeownersmight be surprised tolearn their set-top ca-ble or satellite boxes,when coupled with adigital video recorder,are quite possiblygobbling up more en-ergy than their refrig-erator. Such was thefindings in a 2011study conducted bythe Natural Re-sources DefenseCouncil, which foundthat a high-definitioncable or satellite set-top box, when com-bined with a DVR,used more kilowatthours per year than anew Energy Star rated21 cubic-foot refriger-ator. While few home-owners are likely will-ing to give up theircable service or DVR,you can ask yourservice provider forEnergy Star 4.0-rateddevices to help reduceenergy consumption.
* Grow a greenthumb. A lawn is thefirst thing passersby
notice about a home.No matter how beau-tiful the home itselfis, if the lawn is notwell-maintained thatis what most peopleare going to remem-ber. This year, resolveto grow a greenthumb. Thoughspring and summerare considered theseasons for lawn care,winter is not neces-sarily a bad time toget started. Clearaway any fallenbranches and rakeaway the last of theleaves, which can beused to create a com-post pile that canbenefit the lawnthroughout the year.Depending on thetype of grass youhave, late winter andearly spring can be agreat time to fertilize.
* Make your homesafer. Improving safe-ty around the houseshould not have to bea New Year's resolu-tion, but for busyhomeowners it's easyto overlook safetyaround the house.This year, resolve tomake your home saferand keep it safe and
secure. Have thehome tested for radonif you haven't already,and inspect all smokeand carbon monoxidedetectors, replacingany ones that are nolonger operating atfull capacity. If thereare any safety haz-ards around thehouse, such as aloose step or handrailon the staircase or aleaky gutter thatmakes it easy for ice
patches to form afterwinter rain or snow-storms, then addressthese issues beforethey cause serious in-jury.
New Year's resolu-tions don't just applyto humans. Make themost of this year'sfresh start by makingyour home a happier,healthier and saferplace to live this yearand in the years tocome.

Much of what makes theholiday season so specialis the traditions that peo-ple hold dear. While fami-lies have traditions thatstretch back decades,there is plenty of oppor-tunity to embrace newmeans of celebration tobreathe new life intoChristmas, Chanukkahor the season's other hol-idays.
Chances are you're al-ready hanging stockingsor going caroling thisyear. You can add some ofthese and modify as theyfit for your family.
1. Feed the wildlife.During the cold days ofwinter, birds and smallanimals that don't hiber-nate may find it difficultto forage for food. Bytrimming an outdoor pinetree in edible snacksyou'll have a beautifultree and one that benefitsthe wildlife as well. Stringpeanuts and other nutsfor the squirrels. Makelittle ornaments out ofsuet and string for thebirds. Berries and corncan be enjoyed by all. Be
sure to choose a tree thatis far enough away fromthe home, so you don'thave too many scav-engers hunting and peck-ing around the house.
2. Create a photo Ad-vent calendar. Make yourown Advent calendar thathas small doors that openup to photos of differentfamily members. Or use acollection of children'spictures that showcasehow they've changed asthey've grown older.
3. "Adopt" a child forholiday gifts. Each yearyou can bring a smile to achild in need by purchas-ing a present for an un-derprivileged kid. Somepost offices sponsor "Let-ters from Santa" eventswhere participants canrespond to one of thethousands of lettersmailed to The North Pole.Or work with a localcharity that organizesevents to bring gifts tochildren in hospitals or infoster care.
4. Holiday story count-down. Every night in De-cember watch a movie or
read a story that tells anuplifting holiday tale. Usethis as a method ofcounting down untilChristmas. On the nightprior, reading "'Twas theNight Before Christmas"should suffice.
5. Remember someonewho has passed on.Theholiday season is onemade beautiful by lit can-dles and twinkling lights.Remember a loved one ora friend who has passedaway by lighting a re-membrance candle in hisor her honor. It's a waythis person can still bepart of the festivities.
6. Have a holiday sing-a-long. Sure it may betradition to go around theneighborhood singingcarols, but it's just as funindoors. Have a singingparty where guests aregiven lyrics to populartunes they can singaround the piano orkaraoke machine.
7. Bring some joy to apublic servant. Police of-ficers, firefighters, mili-tary personnel ... many ofthese workers do not get
off for the holidays. Thereare a certain number ofpublic servants who mustremain on call in theevent of an emergency.Treat these people tosomething enjoyablewhen they may be miss-ing their own festivities.Cook or cater a meal for afire house, deliver cookiesto the police station orput together care pack-ages for people living on amilitary base.
8. Banish the holidayblues. When the holidaysare set to go for anotheryear, many people find
they become a littledown. After all, a homethat was once filled withmerry trinkets may nowgo back to the bare es-sentials. Create a tradi-tion where everyone inthe family receives onemore gift -- a personal-ized ornament that canbe packed away for usenext year -- that's givenin January before thedecorations are packedaway. It's another oppor-tunity to open a present,and it symbolizes lookingforward to the joy of nextyear.

Home,, Family,, Friendss && You
by Angela Shelf MedearisCheck holiday lists twice!
As the holiday season approaches, many of us haveholiday parties and gatherings to plan. In these tougheconomic times, we face the daunting task of keepingalive our family traditions without breaking our budg-et. The good news is that by being creative and plan-ning carefully, and making lists, you still can makethis season fun and memorable.
Most of your budget may be spent on purchasingfood for the holidays. The following budget-friendlytips and my easy, meatless recipe can help you savemoney and have fun at the same time.
1. Establish your budget and how much you canafford to spend. Design a menu around your budgetand what is seasonal or on sale at the grocery store.Next, write a list of who will be invited. Your budgetwill guide you on the number of guests you can com-fortably invite.
2. Keep a grocery list so you’re less likely to makean impulse purchase. A list also should prevent youfrom making extra trips to the store. Stick to your listfor added savings, but stay flexible if you come acrossa sale.
3. Use coupons! In most cases, grocery stores havegreat sales on holiday staples like turkeys and hams.Their goal is to get you into the store with the hopethat you’ll buy lots of other products that are not onsale. Use this to your advantage, but only buy itemsyou need. Check for online coupons as well. Start withthe website of the store where you shop or of productsyou use. Shopping on double or triple coupon dayscan save you a lot of money.
4. Buy in bulk. If the price is right and the largersize fits your criteria, go for it! Prices can be deceiving,so pay attention to unit prices to ensure you are get-ting the best deal. Bigger is not always cheaper. Makesure you will use the food before it spoils.
5. Save on store brands. Buy generic and you couldsave up to 40 percent a year on your grocery bill. Intaste tests, most consumers cannot identify the dif-ference between generic and store brands.
6. Shop high and low. Bargains are usually on thetop or bottom shelves. The worst deals are at eye level.
7. Pay attention at the checkout. Don’t lose out ona great deal because an item scans incorrectly.
8. If you’re hosting a holiday gathering, ask for helpwith meal preparation. This will help relieve some ofthe financial burden. Contact everyone on your holi-day guest list and see who can bring a dish to share.Guests traveling from out of town may not be able tobring perishable items, but they can grab some non-perishables on their way in. Make sure you coordinatewho’s bringing what to avoid overlap.
9. Include a variety of meatless dishes, like myrecipe for Penne Pasta With Pumpkin Sauce. You mayhave some of the ingredients on hand fromThanksgiving, or they may be on sale. Meatless mealsare often cheaper and, as a bonus, generally healthi-er, too.
10. Help others. How about serving some home-made food or giving a grocery-store gift certificate to afamily in need? This is the greatest investment youcan make for your money during the holiday season.Happy holidays!

Penne pasta with pumpkin sauceIf you don’t have poultry seasoning on hand, you can
add in a tablespoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 tea-spoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon.

boil. Cook penne until it’s tender but still firm, about8 to 10 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over mediumheat. Add onion and garlic to the pan, saute 3 min-utes. Stir in chicken stock and combine with pump-kin, stir in cream or evaporated milk. Season saucewith poultry seasoning, hot sauce or cayenne pepper,and salt and pepper, stirring well.

The Kitchen Diva
(NAPSA) — When the party’s at your place, youcan be sure to feel secure that safety is in atten-dance if you follow these tips from the experts at theElectrical Safety Foundation International:
• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarmsand make sure your home is protected by an ade-quate number of alarms. Both types of alarmsshould be installed on every level of the house andoutside each sleeping area. You should also putsmoke alarms inside each bedroom.
• Share your family fire escape plan with anyovernight guests.
• Make sure halls, stairs and doorways are prop-erly illuminated and free of clutter that could hinderan escape during a fire emergency. Use night-lightsin hallways and bathrooms.
• Inspect all decorations, cords and outlets fordamage before use.
• Avoid overloading electrical outlets, which canoverheat and start a fire.
• Don’t run electrical cords across doorways or inhigh-traffic areas, where they pose a tripping hazard.
• Keep decorations, gifts and other combustiblesat least three feet from heat sources or open flame.
• Never leave an open flame unattended, includingthe fireplace.
• Stay in the kitchen when something is cooking.Unattended cooking is a major cause of home fires.
• Use space heaters properly and safely. Keepthem out of high-traffic and exit areas, and at leastthree feet from anything that can burn.
• Turn off and unplug all decorations before leav-ing home or turning in for the night.
Keep young visitors safe by preparing your homebefore they arrive:
• If your home is not already “childproof,” install
tamper-resistant receptacles or use safety covers onall unused electrical outlets, including on extensioncords.
• Store breakables, candles, matches and otherpotentially dangerous items in inaccessible orlocked areas.
• Don’t forget to put away small items, like but-tons, coins and jewelry, which are choking hazards.
• Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stair-ways to keep babies and toddlers safe.
• Make sure children are supervised at all times inthe kitchen and anywhere space heaters, candles orfireplaces are being used.
Smart, safe entertaining ideas
When decorating for the holidays, avoid overloadingelectrical outlets with too many lights, cords orappliances.

A relatively recentcomponent of holi-day shopping -- orany shopping forthat matter -- is thegift receipt. Keepinggift receipts organ-ized can take a littleeffort on the part ofthe shopper to en-sure each gift recipi-ent is in possessionof their respectivereceipts.
Gift receipts areadvantageous topeople who are re-ceiving presents.Should the item notfit or be a duplicateof something they al-ready have, a gift re-ceipt enables themto return the item ef-fortlessly. It alsoclearly indicateswhere the gift was
purchased so one isnot driving aroundtrying to find thestore for a return.Plus, should theitem have been re-cently reduced inprice, a gift receiptwill allow the fullvalue of the gift to bereceived.
Returning an itemwithout a receiptcould result in lostvalue and the saleprice being rescind-ed. Although havinga gift receipt will notentitle one to a cashrefund, it will equateto a store credit inthe amount of theoriginal price pur-chased.
Keeping gift re-ceipts organized may
take a little trial anderror. One idea is tokeep two envelopesand a pen handywhen shopping.Write the names ofthe gift recipients onthe master receipt orput their initials be-side their purchaseditems. Place thosereceipts in one enve-lope where you'llkeep your copies ofthe receipts. On thegift receipts, writethe names for whomthe gifts are intend-ed. Place those re-ceipts in the otherenvelope that willhold all gift receipts.
When it comes timeto wrap gifts, refer toyour gift receipt en-velope and match upthe receipts to thecorrect gift. Remem-ber, the gift receiptwill not display theprice or sometimeseven a product de-scription. It will usu-ally only have a barcode that will refer toa UPC, or productnumber. You may beable to match the re-ceipt to the numberon the product tag.But again, this iswhy writing thename of the personon the receipt at thetime of purchase canmake the processeasier. Attach the re-ceipt to the gift insome way and wrap.
Keep gift receipts organized

Many people takeadvantage of year-end automotive in-centives to trade intheir cars for some-thing shiny and new.There's a goodchance that incen-tives will be evenmore enticing thisseason thanks toevents that occurredin early 2011.
The earthquakeand subsequenttsunami that rav-aged Japan in March2011 impacted theproduction and sup-ply of many vehicles.Furthermore, many"domestic" cars arebuilt or are com-prised from partsthat are made out-side of their nativecountries. Therefore,it's not just Japan-
ese brands that havebeen affected by ex-treme weather thispast year.
What this spells outin dollars and centsto the average con-sumer is the ability tosave some money ona new car simply be-cause automotive re-tailers are looking tomove merchandiseand recoup some ofthe losses from earli-er in the year. Manyautomakers are ex-tending incentivesuntil the first fewmonths of 2012 tocapitalize on post-holiday spending.Some industry ex-perts predict low in-terest rates, competi-tive rebates and otherwheeling and dealingto attract customers.
Although the salesprices may be avail-able, customer inter-est might still betepid because of theongoing recession.However, there justmay be ample oppor-tunity for those withspending cash to saveon a new vehicle.
When heading tothe dealership, keepthese tips in mind.
* Know the invoiceprice on the car bydoing your research.It will help you nego-tiate the lowest priceavailable.
* Don't appear tooanxious to buy a carat a particular deal-ership. Tell thesalesperson you'reshopping around.
* It's best to negoti-ate for the lowest to-tal price of the car,NOT the lowest pay-ment. Sales strate-gies often enablesalespeople to workthe numbers to getyou your payment.But that could meana longer loan term,which would raisethe overall cost of thecar due to interest.
* Check out thesafety reports andcrash test ratings ofthe vehicle you'reconsidering. Also,research the resalevalue if you're notplanning on keepingthis car for a longtime. It could make adifference in themake you select.
* While some deal-erships may not beopen to negotiatingprice, they may beoffering a low inter-est rate, which cansave you money.Also, certain extras
could be included forno cost.
Now could be thetime to see record-low prices on vehi-cles as dealershipstry to move leftover
inventory and recov-er from the slump inproduction causedby last year's tragicearthquake inJapan.
New year, new car?
Year-end incentives may entice buyers to start thenew year off with a new vehicle.
