In addition, customers are likely to spend 31 percent more on a business with “excellent” reviews, while 72 percent of consumers say that positive reviews make them trust local businesses more.

The 2018 ReviewTrackers Online Reviews Stats report found that star ratings affect consumer behavior, as 80 percent of consumers say they trust 4-, 4.5- and 5-star ratings the most.

ReviewTrackers notes that the average review is now roughly the size of a tweet and has gotten 65 percent shorter since 2010.

Small business owners no doubt recognize the value of repeat customers, but few may recognize just how valuable such customers can be to their bottom lines. A study from researchers at Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80 percent higher than his or her first purchase.

In addition, a survey from the strategic planning, marketing and sales consultants Altfeld, Inc. found that the probability of selling to an existing customer is between 60 and 70 percent, while that probability shrinks to as low as 5 percent for new customers. Customer retention strategies like offering superior customer service and seeking input from customers can help small businesses generate more repeat customers, which can greatly improve their chances for long-term success.

THREE KINGS DAY - January 6 marks the celebration of the Epiphany, sometimes referred to as Three Kings Day, Little Christmas, the Baptism of Jesus, and Día de los Reyes.

the holiday season does not begin until December 24 and then continues through Three Kings Day. While the four weeks preceding Christmas, also known as Advent, are supposed to be times of reflection and prayer in anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, the 12 days of Christmas are times of great celebration. On the Epiphany, children may leave their shoes out for presents in a similar fashion to the way stockings are hung.

Gifts are exchanged, reminiscent of the three gifts the magi presented to the Christ child of gold, frankincense oil and a resin called myrrh.

The gold represented Christ’s royal standing.

The frankincense marked Christ’s divine birth.

Finally, the myrrh stood for Christ’s mortality.

Many celebrants will bake ring-shaped cakes in which they will hide plastic baby figurines that are meant to symbolize Jesus Christ. The cake is called The Kings Ring, or Rosca de Reyes.

In Latin America, the three magi are more prominent figures than Santa Claus and are greatly revered by children and adults alike.

Until the 19th century, the Epiphany may have been considered more important than Christmas day.

However, those tides have largely shifted outside of Latin America and areas dominated by large populations of people who have Latin American heritage.

Christmas and New Year’s garner considerable attention during holiday celebrations, but Three Kings Day also is an important date on the calendar for faithful Christians.

These three boys are friends and would love to be in a furrever home together, but will adjust if they aren’t. Shy cats need quiet homes with patience and lots of love to give.

The holiday season begins with Thanksgiving, and many people believe that the festivities come to a close after ringing in the new year. In fact, for the faithful, the Christmas season does not end until January 6 (January 12 in Eastern churches).

January 6 marks the celebration of the Epiphany, sometimes referred to as Three Kings Day, Little Christmas, the Baptism of Jesus, and Día de los Reyes. The Epiphany is celebrated 12 days after December 25.

In fact, that is where the phrase the Twelve Days of Christmas, and the song of the same name, originated.

Christians believe that the real celebration of

benefit from extra aging in the bottle. When kept too long (beyond 10 years for vintage cuvées), some effervescence may be lost and the flavor will change.

Bottles of champagne should be stored horizontally in a wellchilled environment.

They should be kept away from bright or artificial light. Chilling also will help reduce the “pop” and overflow of the bubbly. If you purchase champagne and need to chill it for serving, you can achieve this by either chilling it in the fridge for three hours before serving, or in a Champagne bucket in a mixture of ice and water for 30 minutes.

Etiquette experts say it is preferable to open a bottle of champagne with a hiss rather than a large pop.

To achieve this, chill the champagne and also open the bottle very slowly and with a great deal of control.

When the champagne is opened, Daniel Brennan, PR and communications director at Champagne Laurent-Perrier, advises taking your time pouring a little champagne into each glass to allow the bubbles to settle. Then return to the first glass to pour

more, helping to make the champagne less likely to froth. Do not tilt the glass like pouring a beer, rather pour the champagne gently down the inside of the glass.

The shape of the glass comes down to preference.

Traditional coupes look the part, but tulip-shaped flutes will produce more bubbles and help capture the flavor and aromas of the champagne.

It’s ideal to drink all of the champagne in a bottle, as it will begin to lose its fizz immediately after opening, yet that isn’t always possible. A specialized champagne stopper will help keep the champagne fresh for up to two days after opening.

Aftering the bottle has been opened, refrigerate it.

Do not wash champagne glasses in the dishwasher.

Hand wash and allow to drip dry. Soap or fibers from towels can impede bubble formation in the glass during subsequent pourings.

Learning how to properly store and serve champagne can enhance special occasions.

Traditions are the glue that hold many celebrations together.

Individuals and families embrace many customs that serve as the script for commemorating year-end holidays.

Some celebrants may adhere to traditions without really knowing how they began or why they continue. Here is a closer look at some of the most popular traditions tied to New Year’s Eve, both domestically and around the world.

Drinking champagne The use of champagne for celebrations is rooted in the Christian ritual of consuming wine during the Eucharist. In the year 496, a wine from the Champagne region of France was offered during the baptism of the Frankish warrior Clovis, according to the Champagne Committee of France. It then became customary for champagne to be used at religious events like consecrations and at coronations or soirees.

Eventually the tradition became associated with secular rituals, such as celebrating the new year.

Food People of Japanese heritage might eat soba

noodles on New Year’s Eve. The Toshikoshi Soba, which means “year crossing buckwheat noodle,” denotes the crossing from one year to the next. Nibbling the noodles represent traveling from one year to the next as well as letting go of the previous year’s regrets.

In Spain, people gobble grapes to bring good luck in the coming year. The goal is to eat 12 green grapes during the 12 remaining seconds until the New Year. Those able to do so will have 12 months of good fortune.

Dropping the ball Revelers have long watched the giant ball drop in New York City’s Times Square in person and on television. This tradition may be rooted in the custom of sailors using “time balls” to set their own timepieces while at sea. These chronometers were employed by using a spyglass to scan the harbor looking for balls that were dropped into the water at certain times, PBS reports.

The first ball was installed in 1829 in Portsmouth, England.

The Times Square ball was first used in 1907, according to the Times Square Alliance.

Making resolutions

Historians trace the making of resolutions to the Ancient Babylonians.

Citizens made spoken resolutions during their new year festival known as “Akitu.” This ritual required making an oath to the sitting or new king.

Romans also swore oaths of loyalty to the emperor when the New Year started.

Fireworks and noisemakers Fireworks are a big part of celebrations and are not to be outdone on New Year’s Eve. Fireworks were invented in the seventh century in China.

According to Anthony Aveni, an astronomer and anthropologist at Colgate University, the fireworks were designed to ward off evil spirits. In cultures around the world, fireworks, banging drums and other efforts were used to chase away spooky creatures, especially during the transitional period that is the passing of the new year. Today fireworks and noisemakers are employed not for scaring away spirits, but rather to add to the revelry.

New Year’s Eve traditions abound, and many of these annual customs have interesting origin stories.

No New Year’s Eve would be complete without a champagne toast to ring in the new year. Champagne is a vital component of many special occasions, such as anniversaries, retirement parties and weddings.

Champagne is a sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France, though the term “champagne” is often mistakenly used in reference to any type of bubbly.

Champagne is a wine and, like merlot or pinot grigio, it has specific storage and serving temperatures to ensure top flavor. According to ThermoWorks, wines have specific layers of flavor that are most effectively enjoyed when they’re experienced at the proper temperature.

In wine, temperature affects alcohol, acid and aromatics. ThermoWorks suggests a temperature of 45 F for champagne.

In addition to controlling temperature, there are other ways to help ensure champagne reaches the palate in optimal fashion. Grape Escapes, a wine tasting and touring company, says that champagne is already aged properly before being sold, so it does not necessarily

(NAPSI)—Every day, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service works to protect your mail, USPS employees and USPS facilities. It’s just as important to it as it is to you that these items reach their destinations safely, and the Post Office could use your help to keep your mail and packages safe.

Here are a few tips to consider: 1. Don’t leave your delivered mail and packages unattended. You wouldn’t leave important items sitting on the front seat of your unlocked car overnight. So don’t leave your mail and packages sitting in mailboxes or on front porches for any length of time.

2. Going out of town?

Hold your mail at the Post Office. You can sign up for Hold Mail service on usps.com if you plan on being away from home

Families Gather for Blessing of Christmas Trees and Ornaments at Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island Chapels Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island recently held a week-long series of Christmas Tree and Christmas Ornament blessing services at three of its Cemeteries, Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram and Queen of All Saints Cemetery in Central Islip.

Annually Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island has offered special Christmas Ornament Masses at its Chapels. These events always had hundreds of people attending and bringing Christmas ornaments to be blessed.

With the pandemic came the need for new safety measures to be incorporated

into the Christmas traditions that give peace and joy to thousands of families.

Due to the pandemic and government occupancy and social distancing mandates, the special Christmas Trees and Ornament Blessing services were offered as an alternative to Christmas Masses.

“This has been a challenging year for everyone and at Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island, it was very important to us that we offer families options to honor and remember their lost loved ones. The Christmas Tree and Ornament blessing services took place all week long

and were celebrated by our Committal Deacons. We were pleased that these services were well attended,” said Richard Bie, CEO of Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island.

Six Ways To Protect Your Mail And Packages 5. Secure the shipment using USPS Special Services.

Signature Confirmation helps ensure the package ends up in the right hands by requiring a first initial and last name at the time of delivery.

For your most valuable packages, you can opt for Registered Mail service.

Registered Mail receives special handling from the time it’s mailed until the time it’s delivered.

6. Monitor your front door. If you have a home

security camera system, and you catch any mail thieves in the act, save the video and alert the Postal Inspectors.

For more great tips you can use not just during the holidays, but all year long, visit: uspis.gov.

Continued From 12 these special momentos in remembrance of their loved ones on the trees.

“The Christmas Trees decorated with these special ornaments are beautiful and a fitting way for families to pay tribute to their loved ones and remember the lives of those who have passed. We received many positive responses from families about our tree and ornament blessing services.

Christmas celebrations are among the most well attended at the cemeteries, so we look forward to offering families a meaningful way to remember their loved ones again next year,” added Ann Andersen, Associate Director

of Administration and Customer Sales and Service at Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island. Ms. Andersen and staff helped to plan and prepare the chapels for services and attended them as a gesture of support for the families.
