Top Experiences to

S

Gift Holiday Season this

kip the wrapping paper this holiday season and gift your family or friends a special experience right here in Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches. There are unique adventures for anyone on your list. In fact, 74% of Americans now prefer experiences to products or things, according to a recent survey conducted by Expedia and the Center for Generational Kinetics.

For a memorable time with family or an exciting getaway with friends, here are the top experiences to gift in Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches.

Swim With Dolphins

It is a memory to treasure forever-the chance to swim with dolphins.

At Marineland Dolphin Adventure, you’ll find a variety of ways you can get up close with these fascinating animals. Touch, play and splash around in the water with a dolphin, then hold on tight to their flippers for the ride of your life! If you prefer to stay dry, you can toss a ball with dolphins at a dockside encounter, or paint a picture with a dolphin for a keepsake. For a more immersive experience, Marineland offers the Trainer for a Day program, where you can work with the training crew as they prepare meals and feed the dolphins, observe and record their behaviors and get hands-on during enrichment sessions.

Make Your Own Pottery

Horseback Ride on the Beach

A walk on the beach is unforgettable when it’s on a horse. Take a stroll on the sand at low tide with Equestrian Adventures of Florida. While you’re horseback riding, admire the scenic ocean views, watch for whales and dolphins and enjoy Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches’ year-round great weather. With gentle horses and knowledgeable guides leading the way, riders of all levels will feel comfortable.

For the person who loves the outdoors, gift an outing to explore the area’s waterways by kayak. Ripple Effect Ecotours offers guided tours of the Matanzas River Estuary. As you paddle through mangrove tidal creeks and salt marshes, the sights and sounds of nature are enchanting. You’ll spot a variety of birds, fish and playful dolphins. Tours are family-friendly (suitable for ages 6 and older), and firsttime kayakers are welcome. If you are looking for an aquatic adventure with more speed, hop onboard Ripple Effect One, a vegetable oil-powered jet boat.

The recycled oil produces 50% fewer carbon emissions than standard fuels, so a trip aboard Ripple Effect One is an environmentally friendly way to take in the natural beauty of Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches.

Go Fishing

Cast a line with Palm Coast Fishing Trips for the chance to hook redfish, trout, flounder and more. The company offers half-day guided fishing charters on the Matanzas River. An

experienced captain at the helm will take you to the best spots to maximize your opportunities to reel in a big one.

Each fishing trip is customized to guests’ interests and comfort. Along with inshore game fish, you can hook cobia, kingfish, sharks and tarpon when in season.

Hit the Links by the Ocean

The only thing that can compare with the immaculate greenways is the sparkling blue of the ocean beside it.

Gift the golf fan with 18 holes on the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Resort. Jack Nicklaus designed the award-winning course, one of two at the luxury resort. After playing through wetlands and beside lakes, you’ll tee off for six holes right next to the ocean. Dubbed “The Bear Claw,” the final holes are even challenging for seasoned golfers thanks to the courses’ position at the edge of the sand.

Though the incredible views might tempt an intentional extra stroke to

linger there a little longer.

Try an Escape Room

The people of a small town have been vanishing for months, and you have the only clues to their disappearance. Can you solve the mystery before you vanish, too? This heart-pumping experience is one of several immersive adventure games at Twisted Minds Escape Room. Working with your group, you will be challenged to communicate, solve problems and think on your feet as you race against the clock.

Are you up for the task?

Create Your Own Painting

Channel your inner Picasso or enjoy a laid-back evening with friends at Painting with a Twist. With a paintbrush in one hand and a beverage in the other, you’ll have a blast creating your own masterpiece to take home. No art experience is needed, and you’ll be amazed at what you are able to create!

Using acrylic paints on canvas, you

Get fired up in Flagler Beach! At Down to Earth Pottery, create your one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Let the ocean views inspire you as you work with the clay; the pottery studio is located across the street from the beach. Create an abstract sculpture with your hands, or learn to throw pottery on the wheel with a local artist as your instructor. A pottery party is perfect for a girls’ getaway or for the budding artists in your family.

will be guided step-by-step through a specific design. Painting with a Twist has a variety of wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages for you to sip while you paint. The studio provides all the art supplies.

Working from home for the holidays

T

he holiday season brings families to-

gether, but it also means added distractions for the many people working from home due to the pandemic. How can remote workers keep their focus sharp? And what can businesses do to improve productivity?

“Working from home creates a different psychological vibe from the all-business environment of a brick-and-mortar office setting, and that feeling is magnified during the holidays,” says Cynthia Spraggs (www.virtira.com), a veteran of working remotely, author of “How To Work From Home And Actually Get SH*T Done,” and CEO of Virtira, a completely virtual company that helps other businesses work virtually.

Spraggs offers tips to employees and employers about working from home productively during the holidays: HOW WFH EMPLOYEES CAN OVERCOME HOLIDAY DISTRACTIONS

Create a mental commute and brain warm-up. A morning routine can help clear the mind and prepare for the working

mindset. “The drive to the office used to create a mental separation between home life and work life and give the worker space and time to prepare for the day,” Spraggs says. “A similar separation time is vital at home. ...

Develop a routine, such as reading or exercise, that warms up your brain.”

Create must-do lists. The holidays are filled with gift lists, parties, family obligations, baking plans, and other tasks that aren’t usually on the everyday agenda. “When these distractions make it difficult to focus,” Spraggs says, “it helps to start the day with a list of work tasks that must be completed that day.

Prioritizing them makes it more likely they’ll get done.”

Keep your office space a quiet place, and show everyone the door. “Establishing a clear boundary is a must,” Spraggs says. “I strongly advise you to put a door between you and the rest of the household.”

HOW EMPLOYERS CAN KEEP WFH WORKERS FROM SLACKING DURING HOLIDAYS

Trust, don’t micromanage. Some businesses go so far as screen- or mouse-tracking software on company-provided devices to check in on their workforce. But Spraggs says that type of micromanaging can be counterproductive as employees feel distrusted and overly pressured.

“Such a management practice

during the holidays comes across worse,” she says. “Managers can find less intrusive ways to help employees stay on track. Set targets and measure results, preferably using online dashboards with status reports. This makes it easy for employees to earn your trust. The more you trust those who have earned it, and don’t hound them, the more they will produce.”

Have daily check-ins.

Remote managers should establish either a daily one-on-one call or team call with their employees.

In the holiday season, Spraggs says, extra efforts should be made in communication to compensate for people taking time off and getting projects completed. “A regular routine of calls provides a forum for the employees to consult with the manager and each other,” Spraggs says, “and the manager can track performance in real time.”

Set holiday goals and rewards. “Your quarterly goals can be augmented by special holiday goals and rewards for meeting them,” Spraggs says. “These dangled carrots incentivize working diligently at home during the holidays and give them a bonus.

Making it fun and competitive, the productivity goes up.”

“It’s all about discipline and knowing how to protect the work side of your home from the fun side during the holidays,” Spraggs says.

“The holidays bring new challenges to getting work done efficiently at home, and at the same time, employers have concerns about how the holidays can affect workers’ productivity in a home setting. It can cause tension between managers and employees.”

Open Through January 10, 2021 Highlighting the single most enduring icon in American history, Medival to Metal: The Art and Evolution of The GUITAR, explores all aspects of the world’s most popular instrument.

Visitors will experience the artistry, history, design, and cultural influence of the guitar. Along with 40 distinct instruments that showcase the rare and antique to the widely popular and innovative, Medieval to Metal includes dozens of photographs and illustrations that depict significant musicians and instruments of the last century. Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar from the National Guitar Museum in New York is an exciting and engaging experience that gives visitors the opportunity to interact with the guitar from the perspective of history, evolution, and design - and the lasting music it has created.

tancing. But just because everyone is not physically together, doesn’t mean your family can’t share its favorite traditions.

The Olesen family of O&H Danish Bakery knows how important holiday traditions are to feeling connected to loved ones. Now in its fourth generation, the familyowned and operated bakery is sharing its best tips for creating holiday cheer from anywhere: CELEBRATE VIRTUALLY

In a survey commissioned by O&H Danish Bakery and conducted by SWNS Media Group and OnePoll, nearly 80% of respondents say time with family is their favorite part of the holiday season. Whether your tradition is a Christmas movie marathon, a caroling session around the piano or eating certain foods and baked treats, you can enjoy these activities together over video chat this year.

SHARE TRADITIONAL FOODS

The sensory memories that good food creates are powerful. In fact, 44% of people say the holiday

spirit wouldn’t be the same if they didn’t have their traditional holiday dessert.

If you are like many families, that favorite dessert is Kringle, a traditional Danish treat made of 36 layers of butter and pastry. Among O&H’s special holiday offerings are Thanksgiving Stuffed Kringle, A Very Danish Christmas Kringle and the classic Pecan Kringle. Over the past 70 years, the award-winning bakery has shipped to more than 100 countries, making landfall in all seven continents, including

Antarctica. This year, doorstep delivery makes it easy to order a traditional favorite for your own household or send a gift to family members near and far. Visit ohdanishbakery.com.

PLAN AHEAD

When it comes to ordering gifts and specially baked treats, make sure to account for busy schedules and congested delivery services to ensure all your goodies arrive on time.

CREATE HYGGE

Evoking the sights, sounds and aromas of a typical holiday season will help make this year feel more cheerful. Take a cue from Danish culture and embrace hygge.

Pronounced “hoo-ga,” it means creating a cozy atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life.

This year might be especially difficult for families who are physically separated, but there are many ways to spread cheer.

STUFF YOUR PET’S STOCKING

SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER

A whopping 72 percent of pet parents plan to give their pets a gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season, according to a recent Pet Releaf survey conducted by The Harris Poll. Not only is hanging a stocking for pets a fun way to include them in a family tradition, it’s also a great opportunity to give products a test run.

Look for pet products offered in trial or small sizes, such as CBDinfused Edibites Hemp Oils, Liposome Hemp Oils, or Hemp Oil Capsules.

Between shopping, cooking and decorating, the hustle and bustle of the season can be distracting.

However, no matter what’s going on, it’s important to spend quality time with your pet each day.

So, go on some extra long walks with your dog, extend your cat’s playtime sessions and brush your pet’s coat. These activities may help alleviate situational anxiety brought on by shifting holiday routines.

The holiday season can be tiring and stressful on every member of the family, including your dog.

The holiday season is all about showing loved ones you care. This year, make sure that also includes furry friends.

DECORATE SAFELY

When selecting holiday décor, prioritize your pet’s safety above all. Steer clear of plants toxic to pets, like holly, poinsettias and mistletoe; and avoid stringy items such as tinsel, curling ribbons or other tree and gift trimmings that when ingested, can cause intestinal blockage.

Staying healthy during the holidays W ith COVID-19

GENERAL RULES  Don’t travel if you are sick or if you have been around someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days. Don’t travel with someone who is sick.

“Missing holiday traditions is difficult, but with top scientists and researchers working round the clock to combat this virus, I’m hopeful that by this time next year, friends and family will be together again, one way or another,”

infections at an

all-time high, medical

experts urge the public to make safety their top priority throughout the holiday season.

“Nearly a year into this pandemic, people are yearning for a return to normalcy. However, COVID-19 cases are surging and with flu season already upon us, bringing together people from different households during the holidays is far too great a safety risk,” says Susan R. Bailey, M.D., president of the American Medical Association.

During this unusual year, the AMA is sharing top tips for a safe and healthy holiday season:  It may not be the way you’re used to celebrating, but consider limiting this year’s gatherings to just the people who live in your household.  If you live somewhere warm, you may be able to add a few people to your plans, but only if your get together is outdoors and safely physically distant.  Take advantage of the video conferencing technologies available at your fingertips to bridge the distance between you and family or friends. Whether it’s watching holiday movies, unwrapping gifts or sharing recipes together, many

 Wear masks during travel.

This recommendation includes passengers and workers on airplanes, trains, ships, ferries, subways, taxis and ride shares, and at transportation hubs such as airports and stations.

DR. BAILEY

of these traditions can still happen virtually.  Interested in holiday deals and discounts? Shop for bargains from home. And if you must go to the store in person and you’re at-risk, check ahead of time to see if there are special hours for you.  Consider additional outdoor activities that can bring together other people in your circle without the dangers of dining inside.  Disappointed that your usual large dinner is for a smaller group?

You can still cook a large meal and share a portion with neighbors or friends. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends “delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others.”  Continue to follow everyday safety guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19: wash your hands, maintain physical distancing and #MaskUp.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL  Is COVID-19 spreading at your destination? The more cases at your destination, the more likely you are to get infected during travel and spread the virus to others when you return.

 Do you live with someone who might be at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19? If you get infected while traveling, you can spread the virus to loved ones when you return, even if you don’t have symptoms.

 Are you at in-

creased risk for severe illness from COVID-19? Anyone can get ill from the virus that causes COVID-19, but older adults and people of any age with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

 Does your destination have re-

NTION

DURING TRAVEL  Wear a mask to keep your nose and mouth covered when in public settings, including on public transportation and in transportation hubs such as airports and stations.

 Avoid close contact by staying

at least 6 feet apart (about two arm lengths) from anyone who is not from your household.

 Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol).

 Avoid contact

with anyone who is sick.

 Avoid

touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

 Traveling abroad? Check CDC’s COVID-19 Travel Recommendations by Destination before planning your trip.

AFTER YOU TRAVEL You may have been exposed to COVID-19 on your travels.

You may feel well and not have any symptoms, but you can be contagious without symptoms and spread the virus to others.

You and your travel companions (including children) pose a risk to your family, friends, and community for 14 days after you were exposed to the virus.

Regardless of where you traveled or what you did during your trip, take these actions to protect others from getting sick after you return:

 When around others, stay at

least 6 feet (about two arms lengths) from other people who are not from your household. It is important to do this everywhere, both indoors and outdoors.

 Wear a mask to keep your nose and mouth covered when you are outside of your home.

 Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer.

 Watch your health and look

for symptoms of COVID-19. Take your temperature if you feel sick.

 Follow state, territorial, tribal and local recommendations or requirements after travel.

quirements or restrictions for travelers? Some state, local and territorial governments have requirements, such as requiring people to wear masks and requiring those who recently traveled to stay home for up to 14 days.

Check public health websites before you travel. If you are traveling internationally, check the destination’s Office of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Health for details about entry requirements and restrictions for arriving travelers, such as mandatory testing or quarantine.

Versatile ginger: spicy + sweet 3 ways to treat yourself with self-care this season 2020 has thrown us all a lot of curveballs, so it’s no surprise that the concept of self-care is getting a lot of traction in many health and wellness circles. Treating yourself with healthy activities can improve your mental and physical state and help you be more present with friends and family this holiday season.

Here are three ways to treat yourself and indulge in a little TLC, for everyone’s benefit, during the holidays.

1. MAKEOVER YOUR MORNING

Rise an hour before everyone else in your household to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Use the time to meditate, stretch, write in a gratitude journal.

2. FAVORITE THINGS

Write down ideas that genuinely bring you joy and fill you with a sense of purpose. To ensure you’re finding time to do them, schedule them in your calendar. Activities could be anything from going for a run to buying fresh flowers or tackling an arts and crafts project.

3. INVEST IN NEW GEAR

Sometimes, the best motivator for getting active is a new piece of clothing or accessory you feel confident wearing. Once you have the plan in place, get into a self-care routine that works for you. Doing so can help you enjoy the holidays while breathing a little easier.

— STATEPOINT MEDIA

Ginger is not just spicy, sweet and delicious, it’s also tremendously good for you. And the holiday season is the perfect time to pack a punch with it in everything from the cookie tray to the cocktails.

Here’s why and how to include this efficacious superfood in your holiday festivities.

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and flu season, a nutritious immunity-boosting diet can help you take good care of your health.

With its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, ginger boasts a wide range of health benefits, making it a great ingredient to include in your winter culinary repertoire. What’s more, ginger can help counteract some of the effects of an indulgent holiday season, as it promotes digestive health and calms nausea.

EMBRACE ITS VERSATILITY

Ginger goes far beyond such holiday classics like gingerbread houses. With a little creativity, it can be incorporated into every course of your holiday meal, adding a rare depth of flavor few other ingredients can match. Reed’s Crystallized Ginger makes it easier than ever to add that burst of spicy sweetness to seasonal recipes with its diced, ready-to-eat baby ginger root.

So, whip up a batch of gingercarrot soup, prepare a gingerbased salad dressing, top your roast with a ginger-gravy or simply garnish your favorite cocktail.

GO FOR THE REAL STUFF

To amp up the flavor and health benefits, use only ingredients incorporating real ginger. Just be sure to read the label. If you’re like the one in three ginger ale drinkers who reach for this bubbly beverage because you’re looking for a drink with actual ginger, you may be surprised to learn that most mainstream ginger ales contain almost no real ginger.

For holiday cocktails or enjoyed straight, try Reeds Real Ginger Ale, which is the only ginger ale on the market made with real, fresh ginger. Its original variety is non-GMO, packed with 2000 milligrams of organic pressed

ginger and made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no artificial preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup. There’s also a zero sugar variety too. Certified-ketogenic, it uses the same ingredients without the cane sugar. For more information, as well as holiday gift-giving and recipe inspiration, visit drinkreeds.com.

A satisfying spice known worldwide for its wellness benefits, you can give your family the gift of flavor and health by putting ginger front-and-center this holiday season.

Here for You When Life Happens Since 1973 Though this has been a year unlike any other, we want to remind you all that we are in this together. You remain our priority each day and throughout the holiday season.

’Tis the season to stay safe W

ith the hustle and bustle of the holiday season comes, unfortunately, more opportunities for dangerous

situations. Here are some tips to help you and loved ones enjoy the holidays free of accidents and crime. Start by taking a deep breath and reduce your own stress. Remember, the season is about joy!

WHEN YOU ARE SHOPPING

When you’re out for the evening, make sure you stay aware of what’s going on around you.

Often, long lists, long lines and busy stores can cause shoppers to let their guards down.  Park in a well-lighted space, and be sure to lock the car, close the windows and hide shopping bags and gifts in the trunk.

business. Some shippers also offer to hold packages at their locations.

WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING

As you pack your bags for that vacation to see extended family, take some time to secure your home before you leave.

not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket.

 Ensure all doors — especially ones seldom used — and windows are secured.

 If you’re shopping with children, teach them to go to a store clerk or security guard if you get separated.

 Consider purchasing some app-controllable timers, lightbulbs or similar devices. These will allow you to turn on lights periodically to deter burglars.

WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING A PACKAGE

 Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Pay with bank or credit cards, or even your phone or watch when you can.

Porch package poachers are a year-round concern. However, with an increase in shopping around the holidays, the opportunities for such criminal activity will increase.

 Don’t overburden yourself with packages.

Be extra careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse close to your body —

 Track your packages. FedEx, UPS and the United States Postal Service all offer tracking services that will tell you when a package is due to arrive. Amazon’s own delivery service also can alert you immediately when a package arrives on your doorstep or in your mailbox.  Have packages delivered to your office. Instead of having your items wait at your front door all day, consider having them delivered to your place of

 App-enabled camera systems and other products, such as a Ring doorbell, allow you to have a live video feed of your home.

 When using candles, stay in the same room with burning candles — never leave them burning unattended. Place candles out of reach of children and pets, and keep wicks trimmed to one quarter inch.  Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples — not nails or tacks.

Never pull or tug lights to remove them.

WHEN YOU ARE DECORATING

 When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. The tree should be green, needles should be hard to pull from branches, and when bent between your fingers, they do not break. The trunk butt should be sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles. Cut a few inches off the trunk of your tree to expose the fresh wood. This allows for better water absorption and will help to keep your tree from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.

COMFORT, JOY, AND SAVINGS!

WITH TWO MONTHS OF FREE RENT. What could bring more comfort, happiness and joy than a vibrant holiday-style life all

year long? New friends, social events, plenty of smiles, and personalized care are just the beginning. You can even go home for the holidays. To make it even more joyful, we’re offering 2 Months Free Rent (plus levels of care and medication management)*.

TIPPING POINT

The

How to

RECYCLE

During the holiday season, it is customary to bestow extra tips to service people with whom you come in contact often.

Follow these tips on whom to tip and what kinds of tips are acceptable.

after the holidays ORNAMENTAL OPTIONS Looking for more ornaments for your Christmas tree? Ornaments made out of recycled materials are becoming more popular. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even make your own.

Save burned-out lightbulbs from your tree, and use a glue gun to make them into a star shape.

RECYCLE WRAPPING PAPER We all have at least one family member who makes a mad dash to scoop up bows and ribbons on presents to save for the next year. But what about saving wrapping paper?

In some cases, wrapping paper can be recycled, but it must not contain non-paper additives such as glitter and dyes. Most labels will include the recycling symbol if it can

be recycled. Also, remove all tape from the wrapping paper before placing it in your recycling container.

MAIL CARRIER Although U.S. Postal Service workers cannot accept cash tips, they can accept non-monetary gifts (generally of up to $20 in value). Homemade gifts, such as fudge or jam, can add a personal touch.

IT’S A WRAP Extend the theme of recycling to gift wrap with these reusable materials:

TRASH PICKUP SCHEDULE? In Palm Coast, Waste Pro is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, and for those with a pick up on that day, their collection will occur the next day. For example, if you are scheduled for garbage or recycling pick up on Thursday, it will be picked up Friday, Nov. 27, and if you are scheduled on Friday, it will be picked up on Saturday, Nov. 28.

Christmas Day trash and recycling service will be rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 26.

New Year’s Day trash and recycling services will be rescheduled for Saturday, Jan. 2.

CONCIERGE Tip $10 to $100. Keep in mind that you do not have to spread the tips equally. Those who serve you more should get a larger tip.

A bottle of wine is a nice touch.

n Newspapers n Fabric n Brown paper bags n Gift boxes n Baskets n Fabric ribbons

BEAUTICIAN Tip the cost of one haircutting session. If the same person who cuts your hair also styles and colors it, you may consider tipping more.

COUNTRY CLUB STAFF Tip $50 for regular servers, locker-room personnel, front-desk employees and golf professionals.

GARBAGE COLLECTOR Tip $15 to $30 to each person. However, if your collector is a truck driver who operates a machine to collect the trash, there is no need to tip.

BABYSITTER One night’s pay, plus a gift from your child/children.

GARDENER Tip $20 to $50. However, if you see a different gardener each week, don’t worry about tipping.

TEACHER Tip $25 to $100. Gift certificates make good tips. And, for something more special, you may coordinate with other parents to give one large group gift.

COACH/ACTIVITY INSTRUCTOR Gifts of $25 or less. Also, a personalized gift from your child is a good idea.

TIPS ON TIPPING

1

Start by making a list of all the people who provide services or care for your family. This list should include health care providers, housekeepers, personal trainers, babysitters, coaches and more.

2

Don’t tip outside of your budget; substituting a handmade gift or small gift for a monetary gift is acceptable.

3

Include a short, handwritten note.
