Warm and fuzzy holiday activities to try this season Whether you’re braving the cold to find the perfect Hanukah gift or searching high and low for the ideal Christmas tree, there are plenty of opportunities to create special memories with your family this season. And there are ways to make each event a little warmer and fuzzier.

“One of the best things about the holidays is how cozy everything can feel,” says Laryssa Grant, women’s buyer for national shoe retailer, Rack Room Shoes. “And while it can be a busy time of year, it’s important to treat comfort as a priority and slow down to enjoy each moment.”

Here are three activities to try this season that can make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside – and outside!

Get snuggly

Over-scheduling can put a damper on the holidays. That’s why it’s important to carve out some quality time to get in the spirit. Give each family member a goodie bag of holiday-themed pajamas and then pop in a holiday movie to spend the evening snuggled up with the people you love.

Make it cozier – Pair the pajamas with shearling-lined slippers, such as those from Koolaburra by Ugg to ensure everyone’s feet stay warm and toasty all night. Minnetonka and Skechers also offer faux fur-lined options to try.

Cozy, comfortable slippers can also serve as

ideal stocking stuffers this holiday season.

Adopt a charity

Set an example for younger generations by adopting a charity for the holidays. Whether you give the gift of your time or money, supporting causes close to your heart can become a cherished family tradition.

Make it cozier – After each family member selects a special charity, set aside time to discuss over a cup of hot chocolate and homemade cookies.

Take a tour of local lights

Check out the lights in your community for a fun and budget-friendly way to get in the holiday spirit. From spectacular light shows to twinkling home displays, take advantage to explore all your area has to offer.

Make it cozier – Popular shoes from Sperry and Crocs are now available with a plush fur lining for warmth and comfort no matter where your holiday plans take you. To view all warm and fuzzy options in footwear, visit Rack Room Shoes in store or online at www.

RackRoomShoes.com.

Whether it’s doing good works or enjoying the sights and sounds of the season, there’s no better time of year for creating cozy memories.

CHRISTMAS CAROL SPOTLIGHT:

Deck the Halls Holiday cheer is front and center in communities across the globe during the holiday season. This year, celebrants can make this joyous season even more special by singing some of their favorite holiday songs.

“Deck the Halls” is a favorite among holiday celebrants who love to “fa la la.” In fact, those who sing the song in its entirety can expect to sing “la la” dozens of times before moving on to sing another holiday favorite.

“DECK THE HALLS” Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Troul the ancient Christmas carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the flowing bowl before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

While I sing of beauty’s treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Laughing, quaffing all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

English lyrics written by Thomas Oliphant.

Ideas for family game night Family game nights can be a great way for families to disconnect from their devices and spend quality time together during the holidays. Much in the way that family dinners can facilitate conversation and closeness, game nights can spark companionship and hours of fun.

Game nights are easy to organize and are particularly handy on those nights when there’s not much to do or when the weather makes outside activities implausible.

To get started, use these game ideas as a catalyst for fun.

Stick to the classics

Certain games remain tried and true family favorites. These include Monopoly, Trouble, Risk, Clue, and Scrabble. Adults who had a favorite game growing up can play it with their own children and see who outsmarts who.

Learn card games

From “War” to “Spades” to “Gin” to “Uno,” many card games have withstood the test of time. This is a great way to bridge gaps between grandparents and grandchildren. The older generation can teach these familiar games to children, and everyone can join in the fun.

Strengthen drama skills

Charades is a game in which teams must act out a word or phrase based on certain categories and have others on their

side guess what is being mimed. Charades often leads to lots of laughs and stumped participants.

Shop for new fun

Take a family trip to a toy store or

another retailer and browse the games aisle. Let each family member pick out a game that appeals to them and then include them in your family game night rotation.

Families can engage and converse over entertaining games that bridge generations.

Tips for baking better Christmas cookies Cookies and other baked treats are everywhere come the holiday season. It’s not uncommon to give cookies as gifts or arrive at holiday gatherings with cakes and other decadent desserts.

Cookies are a classic holiday treat, and some families even build entire traditions around baking Christmas cookies.

Novice bakers making cookies for the first time may be a little overwhelmed when perusing recipes. Baking is a science, and sometimes it takes practice to get the results just right. However, there are some tips that can help yield better, buttery bounties.

Handle butter with care

Butter can make or break a cookie recipe, as butter is often the glue that holds the cookie together. Therefore, it is key to follow the directions carefully regarding how to handle butter. Smithsonian.com says to leave butter at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to properly soften it. This takes patience, but fiddling with butter too much can damage its delectable integrity.

While purists may say butter is best, margarine may be acceptable if it has a high fat content; otherwise, cookies may spread out and flatten.

When it comes time to cream the butter with sugar, be sure to do so thoroughly to incorporate air into the butter and remove the grainy texture of the sugar.

Measure flour properly

Measuring flour the right way can ensure cookies come out right. The Cooking Channel says to spoon the flour lightly into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Do not dip the measuring cup into the flour or tap the knife against the cup. This will pack too much flour into the measuring cup and result in dry, tough cookies.

Slow down the eggs

Add eggs one at a time to make sure each will emulsify properly with the fat in the butter. Adding eggs en masse may cause the emulsification to fail.

Follow recipes that call for chilling cookie dough carefully. This process is important for making sliced and shaped cookies. By chilling, the dough becomes more malleable for rolling and even slicing.

Use a bottom rack

Too much heat may compromise cookie integrity. The food experts at Delish say to try moving cookies onto a lower rack in the oven if they aren’t retaining their shape when baked. Put an empty cookie sheet on the top rack. That will block the cookies from the most intense heat that rises to the top of the oven.

Mastering cookies takes a little patience and some trial and error. Once bakers get their feet wet, Christmas-cookie-baking becomes even more special.

HI-LITER CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY BOOK 2019

The 12 days of Christmas “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree.”

The familiar lyrics of this tune are sung as part of Christmas caroling and holiday celebrations, reaching a

crescendo each time singers belt out “five golden rings.” The song is an English Christmas carol that was written in 1720. While it references plenty of gift-giving, it’s easy to assume the song is about giving Christmas gifts.

However, the 12 days in the song actually refer to the birth of Jesus Christ.

The 12 days of Christmas, also known as the Twelvetide, refers to the festive Christian season that celebrates the Nativity of Jesus. In fact, the start of these days occurs on December 25 and extends until the evening of January 5th, the day before the Epiphany, known as Twelfth Night. Each day corresponds to a remembrance of different religious

events or people.

Christmas celebrants can celebrate well into the new year. Commemorating the 12 days of Christmas can include small festivities from December 25 to January 5. On Twelfth Night, historically known for parties, modernday fanfare can mark the culmination of the Christmas season – with the last of gift-giving occurring on the Epiphany.

Gifting, hosting friends and family, attending religious services, participating in charitable events, or opening one’s home to neighbors and those who can use some companionship are all ways to make the 12 days of Christmas more special.
