HOW TO THROW THE ULTIMATE
XMAS PARTY Christmas is the perfect time for a party — with twinkling lights, warm sweaters, and all the delicious hot cocoa and peppermint treats you can stomach. It is also a special time to spend with friends and family and to make that time memorable for years to come. What better way to do that than throwing the best Christmas party ever? Here are some major keys to hosting the best Christmas party in town.

A Christmas party is not the same without hilarious, silly and most importantly ugly sweaters. You can make them yourself with just a few supplies and a plain sweater. Pinterest has a ton of ugly sweater inspiration photos that can help inspire the creativity in you. If crafting is not really your thing, you can buy ugly sweaters online on Amazon, at Forever 21, or stop at Spencer’s at Valley River Center for ugly sweaters with a crude sense of humor.

Eggnog is a must for Christmas. Available at most grocery stores, feel free to spice this creamy drink up with a splash of whiskey or rum for an adult twist. Hot beverages like hot chocolate, tea or coffee are great for cold, snowy (or rainy Eugene) nights. Sparkling sodas, cranberry juice or iced cider are also good festive choices for those who want a chilly drink or don’t like eggnog.

Send out invitations at least two weeks in advance for ultimate success, but the sooner the better so people can arrange their plans. Hand deliver Christmas designed ones from Shutterfly or Minted, or simply make an event on Facebook and invite guests online. Be sure to include date, time and location of the party. If you have it before Christmas Eve, you are likely to have more guests, since most people like to spend Christmas Eve with their families.

Global Decor:
Diy multicultural celebrations Words by Lucille Shadburne | Photos by Elle Wayt Christmas is the most widely celebrated holiday in the United States, popping up in stores as soon as late October. Christmas is so focused on that the other holidays, such as Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, can often be unfairly overlooked and underappreciated. Read on for tips on easy, inclusive DIY decorations to celebrate all cultures and traditions during this festive season.
Crafting for Kwanzaa
Handing out Hanukkah The holiday celebrates the Israeli Jewish people prevailing against the Syrian-Greeks with eight days of prayers, gift giving, and eating of delicious fried foods. To make your holiday home more festive, blue construction paper cut out in the shape of a dreidel can be displayed around the house on tables with considerate words written on them. “Blue and white are used because they’re the colors of the Israeli flag,” says Jem Sugnet, who celebrates Hanukkah. Another way to fancify your abode is to spray paint evergreen branches silver and gold colors, tie them together with blue ribbon, and put them in vases around the house to represent the classic colors. 8 | 2 0 1 8 E M G H o l i d ay G u i d e
Kwanzaa is a holiday that was started around the time of the civil rights movement to bring people together by implementing parts of African culture. The Berenda is the Black National Flag, featuring red, black and green. “It’s a celebration of African culture, and so it’s very important to include those colors of their culture. You’ll even see people dressed in those colors,” says University of Oregon student Jermaine Harris. With African American heritage, Jermaine has spent a lot of time learning about Kwanzaa and witnessing celebrations. A nice subtle decoration that is fun to make with family or friends are beaded napkin holders in the color of the Berenda. All you need for this is some string and some black, red, and green colored beads. Another easy decoration are mini Berenda flags made with construction paper decked up on a string to hang in hallways or on porches.
The Real Saint Nick You might wonder where the idea of Santa Claus came from, but you probably wouldn’t guess that the inspiration came from a generous Christian man in Turkey. In Europe, children leave their shoes outside their door overnight to be filled with presents. Some great decorations for this holiday could be coloring pages of old wooden styled Dutch shoes with detailed patterns that you could print out, color, and then hang on the wall for decoration. Celebrators leave out straw for the horse that Saint Nicholas rides on so everyone has some snacks to go around. Take a small bundle of straw, tie a ribbon or raffia around it and place on a coffee table or counter as a festive centerpiece or accent. The best way to create a more inclusive atmosphere during this winter season is to have an open mind about other celebrations, and to try to learn more about them. Adding multicultural decor to your annual ‘decking of the halls’ can help provide an open space so that you can develop a better understanding (and therefore, appreciation) about other people’s cultures.
Getting Ready for Ganapati Pancha Ganapati is a Hindu holiday celebrating Ganesha with five days of gift giving in December. This holiday focuses on appreciation of nature, so a great decoration to tie that in is putting pine boughs around the house. It is also a time to forgive and enjoy the loved ones we are blessed enough to spend time with during the holidays, so be sure to send your mom a text to let her know you love her. During Ganapati, a different color is used to decorate the Ganesha shrine over the five days, and incense is lit to beautify and cleanse the home. Pick up your favorite incense smell to waft through the house while you decorate with yellow, blue, red, green and orange (in that order) bulbs or ribbons on the tree.
The best way to create a more inclusive atmosphere during this winter season is to have an open mind about other celebrations, and to try to learn more about them. Adding multicultural decor to your annual ‘decking of the halls’ can help provide an open space so that you can develop a better understanding (and therefore, appreciation) about other people’s cultures.

Winter IS Coming Get Ready
Words by Cadaxa Chapman-Ball
Oregon is famous for its rainy weather, but that doesn’t mean rain is the worst thing to come. Two years ago, as some of our student populous may remember, Eugene was hit by a crazy, scary, (kinda awesome?) ice storm. If you were lucky (or perhaps unlucky, depending on your point of view) enough to miss this event, I’ll describe it briefly: everything turned to ice. Right after a bout of rain, Jack Frost himself came into town and froze it all solid. None of us were prepared. Here are some tips for more extreme weather, just in case the usual rain turns into something more.
1 Driving
We all know that driving in extreme weather can be hazardous, but if somehow you can’t take a bus, walk, or bike, hopefully the following suggestions can help. First, remember to check your fluids (you should do this regularly anyway, but it’s especially important if the weather’s bad). Check your oil, antifreeze, gas, windshield wiper fluid, etc. Second, consider putting together a prep kit to keep in your trunk. Some prep kit essentials could include: •Blanket • Flashlight •Batteries •First aid kit •Snack bars •Chains •Ice scraper •De-Icer for windshield ice •Water Third, if it’s raining heavily, be cautious of hydroplaning. If you can, try to (safely) avoid pools of standing water. If you must drive through it, go slow. If you do hydroplane, take your foot off of the accelerator. Don’t slam on your breaks, if you can avoid it, and don’t panic! Finally, remember that the cautious turtle wins the race. Drive slowly, and keep your headlights on, even in the daytime.
2 Self Care Above all, make sure you’re taking care of yourself in extreme weather conditions. Watch out for signs of hypothermia or frostbite if you have to be exposed to the cold for long periods of time. Walk carefully and slowly on ice. Stay home if you don’t feel safe. Maybe make a cup of tea or hot cocoa (this is the most important tip, let’s be honest). Also, remember to stay dry! Don’t leave wet clothes on for too long if possible because bacteria likes to grow in damp places. I know it’s difficult in Oregon, where water seems to be pouring out of everywhere all the time (the sky, the trees, my eyes) but you’re less likely to get sick this winter if you stay as dry and warm as possible.
3 Power Outage
In addition to your driving prep kit, you might want another in your home/dorm as well in case there’s a power outage. Flashlights are a must—candles may be very aesthetic but burning down the house is not (and they’re not allowed in the dorms anyway). Get some batteries (for the flashlight, among other things) and a first aid kit. Have some non-perishable food items and water on hand as well. If you have a mini-fridge or a refrigerator, make sure to throw out any food that has been exposed to warmer temperatures than 40 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 2 hours.

Words by Julianna Bourjeaurd Photo by Keven Salazar I love the holidays. With my family dispersed across North America, Christmas is the one time a year my siblings and parents come together — essentially to eat and fight over who gets to cuddle the cats (even though we all know it’s not our choice). On Christmas morning the aroma of pine needles and my mother’s traditional tomato bacon tarts floats in the air while tightly wrapped and ribboned gifts sit in front of the dancing fireplace. After claiming our territory on the couches, we rip into the presents and exchange hugs. Following the ceremonial destruction of the living room, the cats enjoy their new presents (AKA boxes) and a huge pile of paper sits on the floor having claimed its five seconds of fame. Although I’m a sucker for traditional Christmas decor, seeing a garbage bag filled only with wrapping paper sucks. As it turns out, American household waste increases by more than 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Bags, bows, ribbons, food, you name it: they all add up to an additional 1 million tons a week to landfills. So, if you’re wanting to celebrate the holidays in a more environmentally-conscious way, here are some ideas to get that sleigh in motion.
LOOK INSIDE
LOOK OUTSIDE
First things first, look at what’s lying around your household. What can you repurpose? Magazines, newspapers, old maps, the box your latest Amazon package was shipped in? Rather than spending money on wrapping, get creative and see what unused items you can make ornate.
We all remember the sprig of holly and cinnamon sticks from Mr. Bean’s most eloquent gift wrapping in Love Actually. See what flora or fauna is in your yard (or on campus) in order to add a little extra oomph to your package.
LOOK ONLINE
GO BEYOND WRAPPINg
If your house is sparse in terms of materials, have no fear! This is what the internet is for. If seeking a more decadent approach, sachets are great for smaller presents. Not only can they be re-used as change purses, jewelry holders and so on, they are easily customizable for the person via color, pattern and fabric. Or, if you’re going full DIY, glass jars are the perfect way to package it. Ranging from hot chocolate to coffee scrubs to cookie mix, this zero waste gift is guilt-free and particularly affordable.
While the holidays is a time to show your appreciation for loved ones, why not show your appreciation for the planet you live on too? A sustainable celebration goes beyond gift wrapping. Decorate with LED lights to conserve energy, use real dishware as opposed to paper plates or plastic cutlery and compost your leftovers (if you don’t plan on munching on them for the next few days).
Why not wrap a gift in a gift? The art of Japanese Furoshiki is a traditional method of wrapping presents in fabric that can later be used in daily life or to be used for another present later on. Taking after this paper-free wrapping technique, customize your present with tea towels, scarves or even Bee’s Wrap, a reusable alternative to plastic wrap for food. All of these materials can be found online at Amazon.com or at a Hobby Lobby or Michaels near you.
Eco-friendly gifts are super easy to incorporate into your holiday too. Canvas totes, travel mugs and other lifestyle items encourage zero waste habits while still remaining fully functional.If none of these options are grabbing your eye, look for an experiential present like a nice dinner or spa treatment.Whatever you choose, give the gift of green this season.
