THE FROM BUTORS I CONTR MELANIE TAWIL - EDITOR Melanie’s a lifelong bingo advocate and former player. When we devised the plan in 2014 to make a bingo magazine, we knew exactly what we wanted to see that wasn’t in other publications - you! Most importantly, articles and games that are fun to interact with and something that you can give us feedback on. Together with our team at The Bingo Nugget, a SwipeTrack Solutions Subsidiary, we have made it our mission to bring you the best every month. Melanie is a mom of two little future bingo players.

MORGAN SIGLER - DESIGN Morgan Sigler executes Design & Brand for The Bingo Nugget and is a native to San Antonio. She also is a single mom of two little boys ages 9 and 6. She enjoys spending time with her family, DIY projects, being outside and baking. From balancing work, kids and life she will guide us on the modern journey of parenthood (best she knows how). She hopes to inspire all types of moms.

CHLOÉ ADAMS - CONTRIBUTOR Chloe is originally from Midland, TX and moved to San Antonio to attend UTSA where she got her Bachelor’s in marketing. She is the Marketing Coordinator for GBF and loves creating content for and interacting with all of our customers on social media. If you see her at one of our halls, have her take a picture! When she’s not at work, you can find her running her nonprofit and podcast, napping, hiking, or watching reruns of The Office with her dog.

‘Twas the Hour Before Bingo

6

‘Twas the hour before bingo, when all through the hall not a number had been called, none at all.

The daubers were ready all lined in a row, in great hope of winning a big bunch of dough.

The blower comes on making balls dance about they’re calling my numbers, there is no doubt.

Just one away and what do I see?

My number on the monitor, it couldn’t be!

The players were nestled all snug in their chairs, while studying their cards, every one of the squares.

The cashiers and floor workers were selling around, when what do we hear but a caller’s sound.

BINGO I yell, so clear and loud, it brings out a moan from the rest of the crowd.

I knew in a moment that this was my game, I’ll be back every day for more of the same!

Welcome to your Golden Bingo Family Hall!

We are here for your pleasure, one and all.

We will start in a moment, get ready to win because the excitement and thrill is about to begin.

The usher sprang to my side and she counted out cash.

The game’s old paper was sent to the trash.

But I heard the caller as he stepped out of sight.

“Happy Bingo to all, and to all a good night!”

Kate (Emilia Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Henry Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart... and you gotta have faith.

Critics Consensus: Likable leads, terrific behind-the-scenes talent, and an intriguing musical hook aren’t enough to save Last Christmas from its poorly conceived story.

BLUES

Stress and depression can ruin your holidays and hurt your health. Being realistic, planning ahead and seeking support can help ward off stress and depression.

The holiday season often brings unwelcome guests — stress and depression. And it’s no wonder. The holidays present a dizzying array of demands — parties, shopping, baking, cleaning and entertaining, to name just a few.

But with some practical tips, you can minimize the stress that accompanies the holidays. You may even end up enjoying the holidays more than you thought you would.

When stress is at its peak, it’s hard to stop and regroup.

Try to prevent stress and depression in the first place, especially if the holidays have taken an emotional toll on you in the past.

1. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS If someone close to you has recently died or you can’t be with loved ones, realize that it’s normal to feel sadness and grief. It’s OK to take time to cry or express your feelings. You can’t force yourself to be happy just because it’s the holiday season.

2. REACH OUT If you feel lonely or isolated, seek out community, religious or other social events. They can offer support and companionship. Volunteering your time to help others also is a good way to lift your spirits and broaden your friendships.

3. BE REALISTIC The holidays don’t have to be perfect or just like last year. As families change and grow, traditions and rituals often change as well. Choose a few to hold on to, and be open to creating new ones. For example, if your adult children can’t come to your house, find new ways to celebrate together, such as sharing pictures, emails or videos.

4. SET ASIDE DIFFERENCES Try to accept family members and friends as they are, even if they don’t live up to all of your expectations. Set aside grievances until a more appropriate time for discussion. And be understanding if others get upset or distressed when something goes awry. Chances are they’re feeling the effects of holiday stress and depression, too.

5. STICK TO A BUDGET Before you go gift and food shopping, decide how much money you can afford to spend. Then stick to your budget. Don’t try to buy happiness with an avalanche of gifts.

10

THE BINGO NUGGET // DECEMBER 2019

Try these alternatives: • Donate to a charity in someone’s name.

• Give homemade gifts.

• Start a family gift exchange.

6. PLAN AHEAD

10. TAKE A BREATHER

Set aside specific days for shopping, baking, visiting friends and other activities. Plan your menus and then make your shopping list. That’ll help prevent last-minute scrambling to buy forgotten ingredients. And make sure to line up help for party prep and cleanup.

Make some time for yourself. Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may refresh you enough to handle everything you need to do.

Find something that reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner calm.

Some options may include:

7. LEARN TO SAY, “NO” Saying yes when you should say no can leave you feeling resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues will understand if you can’t participate in every project or activity. If it’s not possible to say no when your boss asks you to work overtime, try to remove something else from your agenda to make up for the lost time.

Taking a walk at night and stargazing.

Listening to soothing music.

Getting a massage.

Reading a book.

8. DON’T ABANDON HEALTHY HABITS Don’t let the holidays become a free-for-all.

Overindulgence only adds to your stress and guilt.

Try these suggestions: • Have a healthy snack before holiday parties so that you don’t go overboard on sweets, cheese or drinks.

• Get plenty of sleep.

• Incorporate regular physical activity into each day.

TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOLIDAYS Don’t let the holidays become something you dread. Instead, take steps to prevent the stress and depression that can descend during the holidays.

Learn to recognize your holiday triggers, such as financial pressures or personal demands, so you can combat them before they lead to a meltdown. With a little planning and some positive thinking, you can find peace and joy during the holidays.

9. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IF YOU NEED IT Despite your best efforts, you may find yourself feeling persistently sad or anxious, plagued by physical complaints, unable to sleep, irritable and hopeless, and unable to face routine chores. If these feelings last for a while, talk to your doctor or a mental health professional.

Happy Birthday to visionary, fun loving Sagittarius! This is your time to mix and mingle and inspire others with your ‘big picture’ view of life. The best strategy for inspiring and being inspired is to keep your feet on the ground. Saturn is retrograde so it is important to reality check your plans and ideas.

If you have artistic or healing talents this is a great time to expand them or consider turning them into a career.

Whatever your dreams and aspirations in career might be, don’t put any limits on them now. Miracles happen by allowing them to happen and not by making them happen.

New talents and interests are beginning to manifest now to be revealed and will be revealed in their fullness over time. This will be a great period to problem solve health issues, to develop a preventative health approach, to focus on diet, to start an exercise routine, and so on.

Themes of freedom and creativity abound, but perhaps not according to your ideal. For the time being, find guidance within to do whatever you need to do to make room for the fulfillment that will come. Still, there is magic afoot for you.

Plenty of raw energy is available this December 2019, but it will be up to you to refine it and define how it affects you and those around you.Issues may crop up around an old, unwelcome relationship pattern.Patience with others may not be easy this month, but it will come.

There is something special in the air, but the uncertainty of change may be scary. Read a book or go to a workshop that supports you in a new, more relaxed, less defended state of mind.

Communication with your significant other or clients is not what it could be. There is lots of conversation but not enough understanding. Allow your heart to become your organ of speech and hearing.

Your houses of romance and relationship are highlighted this month. There is some uncertainty or confusion that needs to be sorted out. Is someone not being straightforward about their needs or acting ‘needy?’ There is passion there, but let it be used for blissful experiences rather than ‘crabbiness.’

Expanded thinking and communication are major themes this month. This a good period to take the lid off of limited thinking. December 2019 provides the opportunity to expand your knowledge of healing or to consider a healing practice. Any health issues should be tended to now with professional advice.

Start early to examine spending and saving habits that might be taking you in the wrong direction. While you may love order and shun surprises, this is a magical time for spontaneity of creative expression. Your thoughts and words carry a lot of passion this month.

If you are looking for an opportunity to transform your relationship with your family the last week of the month could hold an opportunity for breakthrough. There is an old issue or two to lay to rest so that you can restore much needed peace and harmony within yourself.

There is great power to heal and uplift in what you have say and share with others. You are at a turning point in accessing the self-trust that will allow to more freely express that part of you. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanza with your tribe, it will be a very special time for you.

My family has been coming here for years. We love when people mmmm where did you get this delicious cake lol. The customer service always pleasant and get helpful they help you to pick the perfect cake for your occasion. The all acknowledged me at one point or another as i was in the bakery. The kindness you feel from the witness is very rare this days. This bakery doesn’t only have the best cakes and prices but a beautiful staff. I will definitely continue to return for all my special occasions and events. The store always festive and clean always a plus.

Tiny Pies

5035 Burnet Rd Austin, TX 78756 (512) 916-0184 stop here for a whole box of pies every time I visit Austin. My favorite is probably the coconut cream or any of the berry pies. We call ahead on our way so that everything will be ready when we get there and to check what’s on the menu for the day. That way, we don’t end up driving all the way there from Dallas and have them run out before we arrive.

yummy tummy

4820 Kostoryz Rd Ste E Corpus Christi, TX 78415 (361) 452-7701 This place there are not enough words to describe the selection of flavors, the decision will be difficult. So buy a couple, or three, or four, you’ll love them, no matter what you choose. These little cheesecakes are so delicious. I got the white chocolate raspberry and the lemon one. I’ll be going back for several more to bring back home with me. Makes me sad that I don’t live closer or maybe it’s a good thing because I would most likely be here daily. Oh, they also have cookies and cheesecake cupcakes too but that’s a whole different post.

808 3rd St Rosenberg, TX 77471 (281) 232-2253

I’m not a “sweet tooth” person but I sure did love the hospitality the employees gave us every time we walked in! Best customer service! Best hot coffee! I did try a few pastries and they were so freshly made. Great venue in downtown Rosenberg!

Games & puzzles Words go left, right, up, down, not diagonally, and can bend at a right angle. There are no unused letters in the grid and every letter is used only once.

The rules of Sudoku are that you should fill a number into every cell in the grid, using numbers 1 to 9. The restriction is that you can only use each number once in each row, each column and in each 3 x 3 boxes.
