6A - Wednesday, December 13, 2023 - Say You Saw It In “The Shopping News”

Es Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Eck By: The Late C. Richard Beam A collection of “Deitsch Eck” columns from past issues of The Shopping News honoring the late C. Richard Beam.

(Originally published in the October 29, 1986 issue of The Shopping News) YUSCHT WIE MER’S AAGUCKT By E.G. Weber Die Sabeine Eselschwanz hot Druwwel, As sie ganz umgeduldich macht. “Es is yuscht wie mer’s aaguckt!” saagt der Yockli, “Es is oftmols besser wann mer lacht.” Der Yockli is en guder Mann, Uffglobt un gedrei. Er saagt wann ebbes letz geht, “Es kennt alsfatt schlimmer sei!” Die Sabeine is gfalle uff em Eis Un hot ihr Aarem verbroche. Es kennt doch viel schlimmer sei; Sie hot gude Bee un Rickschtrang-Gnoche. Im Haus is es zu hees fer die Sabeine; Unnich em Maulbeere Baam gschpiert sie daheem.

Die Maulbeere falle in ihr Haar; Sie is froh as Karebse net waxe uff Beem.

It could be much worse; She has good leg and backbones.

Muundaags hot die Sabeine gwesche; Nau wesche dutt niemand ken Schaade. Sie henkt die Wesch uff die Lein fer drickle Graad wu die Veggel ihr Mischt ablaade.

It’s too hot for her in the house; Under the mulberry tree she feels fine. The mulberries fall on her head; She’s glad pumpkins don’t grow on trees.

Des macht die Sabeine soooo bees Doch will sie net fluche odder liege. Es kennt alsnoch schlimmer sei Sei dankbaar as Kieh net fliege.

Sabeine washed on Monday; Now washing is of no harm. She hangs the wash on the line to dry Just where the birds unload.

En Maschien faahrt ihr guder Hund doot! Nau, was kann do schlimmer sei? Der Yockli hockt un denkt, Saagt er, “Des kennt mich odder dich gwest sei!”

This makes Sabeine soooo angry Yet she wouldn’t be profane or tell a lie. It could still be worse Be thankful that cows can’t fly.

Nau sei net so drauerich un drieb; Browier’s bescht davu zu mache. Es kennt viel schlimmer sei. Guck in die Heh un halt aa lache!

July, 1986 IT’S JUST HOW YOU LOOK AT IT Sabeine Eselschwanz has trouble That makes her most impatient. “It’s just how you look at it!” says Jakie, “It’s often better when you can laugh.” Jakie is a good man, Praise - and trustworthy. When something goes wrong he says, “It could always be worse.”

A car kills her good dog! Now, what could be worse? Jakie sits and thinks, He says, “It could have been you or me!” Now don’t be so sad and blue; Try to make the best of it. It could be much worse. Keep looking upward and laugh! *** This past July 21, an envelope was postmarked at the Lancaster Post Office, which originated at 131 Meadow Valley Road (Wisse Daal Weg) by Ephrata. This envelope contained Mr. Weber’s latest opus, YUSCHT WIE MER’S AAGUCKT, and the following note: “Die Hunsdaage sin do. Mir waare des Wochend in die Poconos fer weck vun die Hitz, der Gaarde un der Hof; un aa ken Zeiding. Du hoscht gschriwwe; Do muss Mischt bei. So hawwich mei ewwerschde Kewwich abgschiddelt un schur genunk, es sin paar Reime unneraus gedroppst, die velleicht helfe.” Ya, Weisskopp, des hot uns recht viel gholfe un mir bedanke uns vielmols davor!!!

THIS WEEK’S

Biblical Message

Our Primary Source of Strength by Pastor John Fredericksen Where do you run to for strength in times of difficulty? Some merely wallow in depression. Others resort to efforts in the flesh. Many simply turn to other people. The tragedy of turning to any of these things or people is that their help or

comfort is only marginal at best, and ignores what God has supplied to provide our needed stability. David found the right answer. He wrote, “This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me” (Psa. 119:50). In the midst of weakness, even when he felt extremely despondent, time spent in God’s Word brought him spiritual life, comfort, and the strength that he needed. The extent of the help he received is indicated by his testimony in verse 71: “It was good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statues.” Quite simply, he allowed God to meet his need so adequately that his tragedy became a

triumph by turning to the Scriptures. Not only are we to personally find God’s Word to be the answer for all our

needs, we are also to present the Scriptures to others as the answer to their needs as well. That’s what the Apostle Paul meant when he instructed

Independent - Fundamental Soul Winning

the Philippians to be always “holding forth [meaning to present or offer] the Word of life” (Phil. 2:16). Their ministry to the lost was to be enhanced by the most “blameless” (2:15) conduct possible, as they shared the gospel with others, and applied God’s Word to daily living. But their ministry was to be empowered by promoting the Scriptures (not arguments, logic, or platitudes) to the hearts of those with whom they sought to have a ministry. This was the pattern the Apostle Paul left them. He held forth the Word of Life to them; they believed it and were saved. Later his letter further equipped them for their present needs in the midst of

suffering. It was this practice of presenting God’s Word to others, regardless of the individual need, that made Paul’s ministry so effective. God’s Word has real power because it is a divine message from the Lord God Almighty Himself. God’s Word is the answer for the need of every human soul. Whether the need is eternal life, answers to current problems, counsel about what to do, comfort in trial, or insight into future events, God’s Word is intended by the Lord to be our source of strength and power. Run to it, and encourage others to do so, rather than turning to any other source.

Mayra González, daughter of Micky and Yeny González, has an eventful junior year ahead of her. This year, Mayra is taking Chemistry, Intro to French, AP Language and Composition, Precalculus, AP Spanish, Civics and Government, Journalism, and Psychology. She also recently completed her service learning with Mr. Smith. Outside of her classes, she is packed with extracurriculars, such as Global Scholars, Cocalico Book Club, NHS, and Model UN. Although she does not have any set plans as to a future career, Mayra plans on applying to schools such as Franklin & Marshall, Millersville University, Kutztown University, and Elizabethtown College. Outside of her school career, Mayra also loves to relax, by doing things such as, thrifting, listening to music, reading, watching films, drawing and painting, as well as hanging out with her friends. In addition, she also has some great accomplishments that she is very proud of. Mayra speaks two languages, English and Spanish, as well as currently learning a third. She is proud to surround herself with a good group of friends, and she is also proud that she made it into NHS. If Mayra could go anywhere, she would choose to go back to her home country of Chile. Mayra has spent almost half of her life in Chile, with her parents and her two siblings, Tamarah and Israel. She was born there, first coming to the United States when she was two. She returned at around the age of six. She lived in Chile until almost five years ago, when she moved back to the United States. Some fun facts about Mayra would have to include that she has a double-jointed thumb, she can’t get brain freezes, and she has two last names. Mayra is a very intelligent and sweet person to anyone who knows her. Cocalico wishes her luck as she progressWritten by: es through the rest of her school career Madison Zepp and into her future.

Lititz Christian School Josiah Lapp Senior

Josiah Lapp, son of Amos and Anna Lapp, is a senior at Lititz Christian School who loves school. He states that his love of school stems from his love for his friends, who make it worth all the hard work. His favorite “classes” are lunch and recess primarily because he can eat good food, play some games, and spend time with his friends. (Although he also enjoys history.) He is involved in a host of extracurricular activities at LC: soccer, basketball, baseball, choir, worship arts, National Honor Society, and student council. In his spare time, Joey likes to play baseball with his family, draw, play disc golf, and hang out with his dog Kevin. He goes to a small church called the Open Door Tabernacle, located in Stevens, PA. Joey’s biggest accomplishment in life is running 10 miles in one day after completing a 120-mile backpacking trip in 10 days. If he could change one thing in the world today, it would be that every child could have a safe and loving home, similar to the love that Jesus shows us. He admires his parents because of their strong work ethic and for teaching him that he should not work for his own gain, but for the glory of God. After Joey graduates he plans to go to Written by: OneLife, a Christian gap-year program. Angie From there he plans to follow wherever Scanlan the Lord is leading him next.

Snowball Convoy Arrives Ready To Build

Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese We were treated to the season’s first snowfall last Thursday, and even though it was barely enough to cover the grass, brothers Levi (12 years old), Christopher (eight years old) and Malachi (three years old) worked together to build a snowman. Shown, from left to right), is Levi, who is hauling the large base snowball; Christopher, who was pulling the mid-section; and Malachi, who pulled the head, which was attached to their original smaller snowman. It almost seems there wasn’t enough snow to pull this off, but add three industrious boys in the mix, and it’s game on for winter fun.

Acid Reflux May be the Culprit in Cat’s Digestive Issues DEAR PAW’S CORNER: In regard to your recent article on a cat’s constant vomiting: I had the same issue with my cat. Stella was vomiting once or twice a day for several weeks. I couldn’t figure out why; there was no issue with new rugs or furniture. When they sprayed the lawns in our complex, I made sure not to track anything into the house. And Stella was an indoor cat, so she wasn’t being exposed to other cats. I got her in to see her vet, who ran tests and blood work and found nothing seriously wrong. The vet said that Stella might have GERD (acid reflux), and to give her one-quarter of a 10 mg famotidine pill each day. I cut each pill into fourths and give it to her in the morning with a little treat. It works perfectly; Stella no longer vomits repeatedly and has been doing well for the past two years. She gets a check-up every year at the vet and comes through with flying colors. Perhaps the owner could run this possibility by her vet and see what they think! — Sande G., Webster, New York DEAR SANDE: That is certainly a possibility! Readers, be sure to check in with the veterinarian if your cat suffers from symptoms such as vomiting frequently or signs of distress after eating like excessive meowing or howling. Acid reflux is one possibility, but as Sande noted, it’s important to rule out more serious conditions. Be sure to ask plenty of questions at the vet’s office. Over-the-counter medications are a possibility, but keep in mind that formulations for humans contain larger dosages than a cat needs and may contain ingredients that are not great for your pets. The vet can advise you best. Does your cat take over-the-counter instead of prescription medications? Tell us about it at ask@pawscorner. com. © 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

p.m. - Sara E. Reeser, East Cocalico Lions Hold Annual Toll Road 2:00 5785 Wanner Rd., Narvon.

The day started cold but later became sunny and a bit windy, but no matter what the weather was, the East Cocalico Lions Club held their annual Toll Road Collection, which benefits four local organizations on “Black” Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. The Lions Club members asked for a small toll or donation from all cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buggies that passed through the square in Reamstown. What they got, thanks to the generosity of the community and all drivers, were coins, bills, and even checks totaling close to $5,000. One hundred percent of what was collected, along with a donation from the Lions Club, will be divided and distributed evenly between the Reamstown Memorial Park, Ephrata Area Social Services, Hospice and Community Care and the Breast Cancer Coalition at a future Club Meeting.

The East Cocalico Lions would like to thank the community for their support in this and all their other projects. Shown in the photo is Lion Jamie Carpenter receiving a toll from a thoughtful driver. Donating these funds, which were collected from the community, is just one of many ways which the East

Cocalico Lions “Serve” as they continue “Lighting the Way” in their community. If you are interested in finding out more about the East Cocalico Lions or would like to join them in service projects such as this one, please call 717 336 5311 or visit them at www. eastcocalicolions.org.

Inspiring Ideas For Last-Minute Holiday Shoppers This Season It’s unlikely that anyone aspires to be a last-minute holiday shopper. Putting off holiday shopping until the last minute can make for a stressful home stretch to the season, and there’s no guarantee store shelves won’t already be picked clean or that gifts purchased online will arrive on time. Despite how unappealing last-minute shopping can be, it’s still a fact of life for millions of holiday shoppers. As the clock winds down this holiday season, shoppers can look to these ideas for inspiration. • Gift cards: Gift cards may never earn a distinction as the most sentimental item to give a loved one during the holiday season, but they are surprisingly sought-after. In fact, a

survey from the National Retail Federation found that 54 percent of participants identified gift cards as the most-wanted gift of the 2022 holiday season. Chain retailers, small businesses and restaurants are among the many establishments that sell gift cards, so shoppers are bound to find a card to please anyone on their shopping list. • Food/beverage: The holiday season is a popular time to indulge in some great food and wash it down with a favorite wine or another adult beverage. That makes food and beverages a great holiday gift. Shoppers can take a loved one out to a favorite restaurant, prepare a eatery. Pair the food with an gift idea is sure to be a hit. homemade treat or purchase • Tickets: Tickets to a a favorite dish from a local appropriate beverage and specialty grocery store or this accessible last-minute movie, sporting event, live theater performance, or concert are another gift idea that likely won’t be

gobbled up by early bird shoppers. People of all ages enjoy experiences, and a 2022 survey from the travel booking platform GetYourGuide found that 50 percent of survey

respondents indicated they would enjoy tickets to a concert or show. • Books: Books make an ideal holiday gift for everyone from young kids to grandparents. Traditional print books are small enough that they can likely arrive on time even if they’re purchased just a few days before Christmas. E-book sellers enable gift givers to pick the perfect time to notify loved ones they have received an electronic book. Audiobooks, which can be downloaded to a smartphone or given as a CD, make an ideal gift for loved ones who spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Last-minute holiday shopping can be stressful. However, various soughtafter items can be secured at the last minute, ensuring gift givers’ loved ones have a happy holiday season.

Gifts To Get Kids Off The Couch

Devices can be hard to ignore. Seemingly always within arm’s length, devices such as tablets and smartphones are as popular as ever. In a survey designed to gauge smartphone ownership, the Pew Research Center found that 85 percent of Americans owned a smartphone in 2021. That reflects a significant increase since 2011, when 35 percent of Americans owned a smartphone. Adults may recognize the potential pitfalls of spending too much time on their devices, but those pitfalls are not nearly as apparent to children. For instance, a 2021 study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry found that excessive smartphone use is associated with various health problems in adolescents and young adults. Such issues include psychiatric, cognitive, emotional, medical, and brain changes. A separate 2021 study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders found that children have a 62 percent greater risk of developing a binge-eating disorder for

Why Not Give The Gift Of Travel & Adventure?

is that many of the businesses that set up shop at these events are local. They also tend to sell an array of items, including small items that can easily fit into shoppers’ holiday budgets. • Pool your resources. Another way to get around rising costs this holiday season is to pool your shopping resources with another friend or family member. The cost of a new tablet for a parent can be easier to bear if it’s split with a sibling. The holiday season could be especially expensive this year, but there are still bargains to be had.

consumers also must contend with supply shortages and shipping delays. Shopping early is a great way to get around those lingering effects of the pandemic, and it also affords shoppers more time to find great deals. Comparison shopping sites make it easy to comparison shop by breaking items down into categories and producing a list of vendors and prices for an assortment of products. Utilizing these sites and shopping early is a great way to find bargains. • Attend local holiday bazaars and markets. One of the great things about holiday bazaars and markets

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear Written in 1849, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear” is a poem written by Edmund Sears, who was a pastor of the Unitarian Church in Wayland, Mass. Sears’ lyrics are often put to “Carol,” a melody composed for the poem by Richard Storrs Willis. However, “Noel,” modified by Arthur Sullivan from an English melody, also has been used. Angelic singers share the message of peace on Earth in this carol, and many well-known popular artists, including Josh Groban, have entranced listeners with their renditions of this holiday classic.

It came upon the midnight clear; that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold; “Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come

Having Diabetes Doesn’t Have To Mean “Bah, Humbug” Holidays

with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world’ above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing, and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing!

Whether you’re in charge of planning an entire meal or simply faced with bringing a dish to pass, food is in the spotlight during the holiday season. And for the nearly 21 million people with diabetes and those who love them, navigating holiday eating occasions doesn’t have to be a “bah, humbug” experience. Many people with diabetes think holiday eating means poking at a bowl of sugar-free gelatin while family members indulge in gooey holiday desserts. Diabetes doesn’t mean you have to feel deprived, especially around

For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old, when the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

The feeling of giving a gift and watching the recipient smile broadly after peeling away the wrapping is part of what the makes holiday season such a special time of year. Matching presents to people is not always easy, but when shoppers pull it off, the smile on a loved one’s face is quite the reward. Creative individuals and resident artists are continually honing their crafts. This holiday season could be the perfect opportunity to tune into these artistic pursuits and give something that lets artists take their creativity to the next level. The following are some gift ideas for artistic individuals on holiday shopping lists. Supplies Gift Basket Each artistic pursuit requires its own array of materials and tools to perfect the craft. For example, painters will rely on canvases, oils and paint brushes to create master pieces, while those who engage in ceramics may need bisques, clays and firing tools. A mix of supplies can fuel upcoming projects. Museum or Exhibition Visit Artists may be inspired by others who engage in the arts. Purchase tickets to a

2022 holiday season inched ever closer to crossing the trillion dollar mark. Though total retail sales during the November-December holiday season fell short of National Retail Federation forecasts, the group still reported that sales totaled $936.3 billion in that period in 2022. Though a host of variables, including inflation, affect how much consumers spend during a given holiday season, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that 2023 could be the year shoppers cross the trillion dollar threshold.

Day Trips To Entertain Holiday Guests The Perfect Travel tends to heat up as the weather begins to chill around the holiday season. With friends and family to see and holiday cheer to spread, it’s no wonder why millions of people take to the roads, railways and friendly skies to travel during the holiday season. It’s not uncommon for holiday hosts to open their homes to loved ones for days at a time. Holiday hosts who want to ensure that visitors enjoy their stay can plan certain excursions to make the most of their time together. • Go see the lights. Holiday lighting displays are popular across the country. Treat guests to a visit to a nearby attraction. That could be an amusement park that drapes the center of the park in lights, Main Street storefronts and town centers that put on tree lighting ceremonies, urban centers where department

on a concert of Christmas carols. Enjoy a night or day out at one of these events. • Visit a cathedral or temple. The holiday season brings many individuals closer to their faiths. Travelers may want to visit a house of worship during their stay. Many churches are dressed up for Christmas and some may even have live animals in their living nativity scenes. • Cut down a Christmas tree. Save the tree cutting and trimming for when guests arrive. This way everyone can enjoy a day out at the tree farm as families select the perfect evergreen. Partake in refreshments such as hot chocolate or warm cider, then return home to decorate the tree together. Day trips with overnight guests staying for the holidays can make for an entertaining way to get out of the house and enjoy time together.

From productions of “A Christmas Carol” to other holiday favorites, it’s not difficult to find entertainment that showcases some holiday spirit.

Holiday Party Playlist Experienced party hosts understand that certain elements are essential to throwing a successful gettogether. Guests expect a few things when they arrive, with good food and drink topping the list. Music also figures into the magic formula for a well-received party. The late Aretha Franklin said, “Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” The power of music is so strong that party hosts know they must curate a playlist to complement the festivities. When hosting during the holiday season, hosts can rest easy in the knowledge that curating a playlist tends to be easier than at other times of the year. That’s due in large part to the prominent role some classic holiday tunes play come December. When

Christmas standard. • “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (1975): Bruce Springsteen’s rocking version of this song is one no holiday playlist should be without. • “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” (1984): Written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, this song was recorded to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. It features Band Aid, a supergroup made up of popular Irish and British musical artists. • “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (1994): Love it or loathe it, Mariah Carey’s song is one of the few modern Christmas songs to enter the esteemed Christmas music canon. It also helped pave the way for Carey to be forever tied to Christmas. • “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” (2011): Several artists have recorded this song, which was written in 1951. Jazz standards artist Michael Bublé made it his own in 2011. Curating a holiday party playlist can start with the above songs, and the list can then be customized with more tunes that help make the season magical.

continential Africans to Festive Facts About Oft-Misunderstood Fruitcake The Primary the whom African Americans

Certain sights and sounds are ingrained in the holiday season, from twinkling lights to carols piping over retailers’ sound systems. Amid the shelves of holiday wares and delicacies, fruitcake makes its annual appearance. Fruitcake, sometimes referred to as plum cake or Christmas cake, can be prepared in various ways. However, a dense bundttype cake dotted with dried, candied fruit and often soaked in rum or brandy has become the standard. Loathed or loved, seldom anything in between, fruitcake is typically mocked as the ultimate regift. But just like Charlie Brown’s scant Christmas tree, which was initially mocked, it’s time to see fruitcake in a new light. Consider these fruitcake fun facts. • The texture of fruitcake can vary from cake-like to more of a sweet bread like brioche. Italians dig into panettone, Germans delight with stollen and Jamaicans serve black cake. • The first fruitcakes weren’t eaten. According to historians, fruitcakes were

initially made by ancient Egyptians, who tucked the desserts into the tombs with their dead so a sweet treat could be enjoyed in the afterlife. • Fruitcake gained popularity as military rations, as everyone from Roman soldiers to Crusaders found fruitcake provided a diverse array of nutrients and an energy boost in battle. Fruitcake also stores well, which can be beneficial for military personnel in battle. • Fruitcake seemingly is indestructible. While it likely cannot last forever, Tastemade says if a fruitcake is kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, cool place, it could be reheated years after being baked. Starch crystals and

dried fruit in the cake will release stored water when warmed, rehydrating the cake. • Historical accounts indicate Romans were among the first people to eat fruitcake, which they might have enjoyed as early as 100 A.D. A version called “satura” was made by mixing stale bread with pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, raisins, and then soaking it in a barley mash and an alcoholic beverage brewed from honey. • Fruitcake became a popular dish to serve at British royals’ weddings. Queen Victoria, Princess Diana and Prince William served fruitcake at their receptions. • The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Wash-

Kwanzaa is an African American and pan-African holiday that is celebrated each December beginning on December 26. The celebration of family, community and culture lasts for seven days. Many holidays have their own unique symbols, and Kwanzaa is no exception. The following are the primary symbols of Kwanzaa, courtesy of OfficialKwanzaaWebsite. org. Mazao Mazao symbolizes the crops of African harvest celebrations. Mazao also is symbolic of the rewards of productive and collective labor. Mkeka Mkeka translates to “The Mat.” The mat in Kwanzaa celebrations symbolizes African American and panAfrican tradition and history and the foundations on which those traditions and histories are built. Kinara The kinara is a candle holder that is symbolic of

and pan-Africans trace their roots. Muhindi Muhindi stands for “The Corn” and symbolizes children and the future that they embody. Kikombe cha Umoja The Kikombe cha Umoja is the unity cup and symbolizes, in both principle and practice, the unity that makes all else possible. Mishumaa Saba This is the seven candles, which are symbolic of Nguzo Saba, or the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa. Each day of Kwanzaa is dedicated to one of the Seven Principles. The principles are a set of values Kwanzaa celebrants are urged to live by. Zawadi Zawadi stands for “The Gifts” and are symbolic of the labor and love of parents and the commitments made and kept by children. The seven-day celebration of Kwanzaa celebrates African American and pan-African culture. The symbols of the holiday are a vital component of that celebration.

ington, D.C. has a fruitcake on display. It traveled into space on Apollo 11 in 1969, but was never eaten. • Seth Greenberg, who worked in his family’s New York City bakery, attests that fruitcake is delicious when made with the right ingredients. The neoncolored, dry and overly sweet fruit that many bakers use is the problem with poor cakes. But proper ingredients like brandy, glace cherries, apricots, figs, and dates can make for a delicious fruitcake. • The average fruitcake weighs between two and three pounds. However, the heaviest fruitcake on record, according to “The Guinness Book of World Records,” came in at 9,596 pounds. Despite the hefty weight of this cake, it’s only around 92 to 160 calories per serving. Regardless of its unfavorable reputation, fruitcake remains an unwavering holiday tradition. The website Serious Eats reports that more than two million fruitcakes are sold each year.

Gift Ideas For College Students College is the natural next step for many graduating high school students. According to Best Colleges, in 2022 there were 17.9 million students enrolled in degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States. Many other students began their college careers in the fall 2023 semester, joining the ranks of people working toward their degrees. Holiday gifts that aim to meet the needs and interests of recipients can ensure presents will be enjoyed and utilized. Modern college students likely can use a few things to simplify life on campus.

Laptop or Tablet Gone are the days when students primarily utilize pen and paper for school assignments. Students are often introduced to tablets and other digital devices to complete assignments and take notes as early as elementary school. This reliance on paperless communication continues at the high school and university level. Most, if not all, assignments are posted online and then completed and submitted through various portals or cloud services. Therefore, college students will require a laptop or high functioning tablet with the right processing speed and memory capacity to handle the demand. Student Card Funds Colleges utilize different programs for paying for meal plans and incidentals

purchased on campus. This likely involves funds linked to a proprietary card that functions similarly to a debit or credit card. Savvy gift givers can deposit funds into students’ accounts so that they’ll have a little extra spending money to put toward books or that mocha latte at the campus coffee shop. Parking pass Although freshmen may be restricted from bringing cars to campus unless they are commuter students, sophomores and upperclassmen may be able to park in campus lots. Parking typically is an extra cost for students, meaning friends or relatives can gift the cost of annual parking passes to the college students in their lives. Dorm Gear College students who opt to live in campus housing often want to make their dorm rooms a home away from home. They will need to outfit these tight quarters with items that won’t take up too much space. Small pod-type coffee pots, compact microwaves, mini fridges, under-bed storage

shelving, area rugs, cozy comforters, and bathroom essentials can make college kids’ dorm rooms feel more like home. Event Tickets Not every moment should be spent in classrooms or residence halls. College students may want to venture away from campus, and what better way to enjoy the sights and offerings of what nearby venues have to offer than by attending various events? Gift-givers can offer tickets to art shows, music festivals, comedy club nights, amusement parks, or other events in college towns. Travel Assistance Attending college far from home means that students will take planes, trains or automobiles to return home for holidays and other special events. Gifting college students airline or train fare, or providing gift cards for gas station fill-ups, means students will be able to afford trips home when needed. College students can benefit from gifts geared to the college lifestyle.

Bake Up A Delicious Sweet Cookie Treat This Holiday Season Entertaining is a big part of the holiday season. Calendars are packed this time of year with gatherings with friends, family and professional colleagues. Entertaining requires keeping plenty of refreshments on hand to ensure guests maintain their holiday spirit. Dessert is no stranger to the season, with office break rooms, dining tables and buffet stations brimming with sweet treats to tempt celebrants’ palates. Everyone should have a go-to dessert to bring along to a holiday party or to offer guests when hosting their own fêtes. Cookies are a standard due to their versatility and portability.

Great Gifts To Give This Holiday Season For The Family Foodie In You Life Food features prominently throughout the holiday season. Family meals around the holiday dinner table are a cherished tradition in millions of households, and food also plays a central role during seasonal gatherings with friends and colleagues. Food also can feature prominently throughout Chanukah and on Christmas Day, particularly if a loved one qualifies as a fullfledged foodie. Many families feature at least one foodie. Foodies always know the best place in town to grab a bite or when a trendy new restaurant will open its doors. But such individuals also enjoy making meals at home, and the following gift ideas can make this holiday season

more flavorful for the family foodie. • Tabletop firepit: Shoppers who want to impress their food-loving loved one with something truly unique can give a tabletop firepit. Safe for indoor use, tabletop firepits enable s’mores-loving foodies to indulge in a traditionally summertime favorite all-year-round. Tabletop firepits are small enough to be stored on a kitchen countertop or in a cabinet. When in use, the s’mores-friendly accessory is smokeless, removing perhaps the lone disadvantage to making this beloved treat. • Club subscription: Monthly subscriptions are a season. Sweets lovers will appreciate gift that can keep on giving undoubtedly all the way until next holiday receiving a box of fresh chocolates each month, while those with more unique tastes may anxiously await the day their monthly At ClearWater shipment of pickles arrives at their doorstep. The options New Items Stocked Daily are endless, ensuring there’s Camping Supplies, Lawn & Garden Items, Small a monthly subscription out Appliances, Household Items, Kitchen, Cooking & Dining Items, Furniture, Bedding, Toys, Baby Stuff & More.

there to tickle every foodie’s fancy. • Sauce sampler: Amateur sauciers may find inspiration in a sauce sampler set. Sampler set options abound, so shoppers can find something for foodies who love a spicy sauce, something more sweet or even in between. Of course,

sampler sets also provide a range of sauces, making them ideal for foodies who want something spicy tonight before pivoting to a sweeter dish tomorrow. Flavored olive oil sampler sets also can be a great gift for cooks who love to experiment with new flavors. • Charcuterie board and

knife set: Foodies who love to host their fellow food fanatics will no doubt fall in love with a new charcuterie board and knife set. A 2023 report from Kroger revealed that the supermarket chain expected charcuterie boards to remain popular over the course of the year. That popularity makes sense, as anything from meat to cheese to fruit to crackers has a home on a charcuterie board, making the item especially appealing to foodies who routinely share their homes and love of food with friends and family. • Espresso maker: Of course, foodies aren’t just about food. Beverages also figure prominently in many foodies’ lives. A high-end espresso maker can ground fresh beans and brew multiple cups in no time at all, making it an ideal addition to any foodie’s culinary arsenal. Food is a vital component of the holiday season and can even be incorporated into holiday shopping.

Keep Kids’ Needs in Mind While Holiday Shopping

good behavior and patience. While an infant in a stroller may be content to sleep the entire shopping trip away, a boisterous toddler or school-aged child may become anxious when faced with crowds and long hours strapped into a carriage or car seat. Plan for short bursts of shopping so that children will not become overwhelmed or bored by the experience. Rushing out to shop with a tired or hungry child is another way for parents to set themselves up for disaster. Hunger pangs and sleepiness can turn a normally amenable child into one prone to tantrums rather quickly. Parents should time shopping jaunts for after naps and meals to eliminate these factors from the things that might trigger poor behavior from children. With the many toys, trinkets and other items on display for sale at area stores, children may beg and plead for certain things, making shopping more challenging. Try to avoid the stores that can be big temptations for children to times when shopping can be done sans kids. If a child is allowed to bring a toy, book or other distraction from home, it could help minimize the number of “I want that” requests made. When possible, talk to older children during the shopping experience.

In a perfect world, holiday shopping would take place free from crowds, with low prices on all the items, and with no grumpy children in tow. However, reality often means that time-pressed parents have to brave the crowds to get their presents purchased, and often with children along for the ride. Holiday shopping can be stressful enough when an adult does it alone. With children factored into the mix, it can turn into an adventure. Unable to dart from store to store and squeeze through milling shoppers, parents must pilot the stroller or shopping cart and battle through. Others must attempt to keep an eye on a youngster flitting through a sea of much-taller people in the mall or store. Without having a breakdown or throwing in the towel and skipping shopping all together, what can parents do when they have to shop with children? Be patient and follow a few ideas to minimize the confusion. One of the key things to remember is that children, especially toddlers, have short windows of time of

Mention how much things cost and how they are being paid for. Kids can learn valuable life lessons about managing finances by mimicking their parents. Allow children to help with some decision-making processes, such as, “Should we buy grandma the blue or green blouse?” Being involved can make the shopping trip more tolerable and children will feel proud if they’re involved in the process. While shopping with kids can sometimes be a headache, minor irritations can turn into tragedy quickly if parents do not keep safety in mind when kids are along for the trip. It is very easy to lose track of children in bustling stores. Unfortunately, child predators also can be

lurking during the holiday season because they know it’s easier to kidnap a child or take advantage when parents are distracted and there are large crowds. Although it may seem inhumane, kiddie harnesses are effective means to keeping young children close by. Most harnesses are equipped with a plush toy backpack and a plush lead with handle. This gives the children some freedom to walk without having to constantly hold Mommy or Daddy’s hand, but not enough slack to run off into the crowd. Children who will be riding in shopping carts or strollers should be monitored closely and strapped in. Parents should not leave the stroller or wagon in one place to go

browse for gifts. It only takes a minute for a fall to occur or for someone else to wander off with the child. It’s a good idea for parents to take a picture of their children before starting the shopping trip so that they’ll know exactly what they are wearing and be able to report it to the authorities should the youngsters wander off. Remember to take a picture of the children’s shoes, as well. Child abductors often change the clothing of a kidnapped child but do not know the size of footwear and leave those shoes in place. Identification may be made by what shoes the kid is wearing. Another thing to keep in mind is meal time. Apart from the hassle of waiting on food court lines for lunch or a snack, dining out

with kids in tow also can be expensive. Save time and money by packing lunch in a small cooler, complete with juice boxes and finger foods that children can munch on. Holiday shopping with children may not be the ideal situation, but innovative and safety-conscious parents can make the best of it this time of year.
