Story & Photography by Amy Hebden From wreaths and trees to garland and bows, decorative touches throughout the home add to the joy of the holidays. The holiday season can often take on a life of its own for those of us who embrace the “more is more” decorating philosophy during this festive time of year. I thoroughly enjoy others’ holiday decor mania and appreciate the years of effort exerted in displaying, investing and storing the numerous boxes of decor. I too have an equal appreciation for those who find

that decorating in moderation offers the “less is more” philosophy during this overwhelming time of year. The true beauty in holiday decor is that regardless of how contemporary or traditional, gilded or glossy your style may be, it is more about participating in the spirit of the season during this most magical time of year. This section contains some of the best and brightest decorating ideas. I hope they inspire you to deck your halls. Here are some of our favorites.

he bells were chiming in downtown Franklin at 11:11am on 11-11-11, as military planes flew overhead, kicking off the Annual Veterans Day Parade. Marching bands, school children, community leaders and members of community service organizations joined veterans at Five Points and moved through cheering crowds toward the

Square. Veterans proudly wore their hats, vests and jackets with insignias identifying the war in which they served. It was a beautiful morning in so many ways, as we all stood with grateful hearts for our veterans and their families that have sacrificed so much for our freedom

YOUR Chef

What happened to Thanksgiving?

As the seasons and holidays pass us by, each has a specific memory or sensation that goes along with it.

What thoughts and memories does Christmas evoke for you—the gifts, the giving, friends, family, putting up as many lights as possible before the neighbors get upset? For me, it is all of the above and the endless amounts of food that I know is on the way. It has always been hard for me to eat a large holiday meal without having all the dishes I remember having only during these special times growing up. Of course if it wasn’t prepared exactly how my mother did, then it wasn’t prepared properly. Not because it wasn’t great; it was just different. The same ingredients could be used, it could even be the same recipe, but if it was even put on the plate differently, this minor detail would change the taste, feeling and memory of the entire meal.

As a Chef this is the hardest job; giving our guests something they can relate to, being adventurous, yet keeping within their comfort level. When asked what is my favorite dish, or my “style”, my answer hasn’t changed in 19 years. I like simple food cooked really well; food that is in season; fresh, not over complicated; clean simple plates. If you start with high quality, fresh ingredients, there is no reason to cover it up with heavy sauces, foams, or garnishes that have nothing to do with the dish.

That being said, how do you reinvent simple food? It can be as simple as changing the way you put the food on the plate, the cooking method, or substituting the ingredients going into it; or something as simple as using white beans instead of black beans, using crème fraiche instead of sour cream, keeping the original dish and putting your own spin on it.

Deconstructing a recipe is also a great way to keep all the flavors and components the same, but allowing the guests to experience them separately.

With the new dessert menu at Whitfield’s we wanted to arouse a sense of comfort and familiarity, from the apple tart, to the chocolate and sweet potato mousse with a pistachio brittle. We make our doughnuts with a light and airy Brioche dough, rolling them in cinnamon and sugar before pairing with a spiced rum crème anglaise. The s’mores are one of my favorites, using a graham cracker crust, bittersweet chocolate ganache, house-made toasted marshmallows, and topping it with a hazelnut whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Let this be the season you step out of your comfort zone and put your signature on your favorite dish. I hope all of us have an amazing holiday season filled with friends, family, memories, lots of lights, and even more food.

I hear that train a coming...

By: Joseph G. Budd, CFP®, ChFC® Managing Partner That train that you hear a comin’ is the Retirement Train.

An update on your departure date, it will be here before you know it and sometimes your own health will dictate when it will arrive. If your Retirement Train has already arrived, you still need a plan to make it work in this world we live in. Just like planning for a vacation, your retirement is no different except is has long term consequences. You don’t get a second chance to get it right either before the train comes or after you are already enjoying the ride.The Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) has been doing an annual retirement confidence survey since 1978. According to the EBRI four in ten have ever done a retirement calculation once in their lives. A majority of the people that didn’t do the calculation stated that they would have guessed on most of the data inputs. I bet they had that cruise that they took planned down to the outfits to wear for each night and day, and what port stops they would take. One has to have their priorities.

Other points of interest in the survey from 2011: There is an all time low in confidence for having a secure retirement; Many had to retire before they had planned because of health or the business environment; Only 13% feel very confident about having enough money to retire; 12% feel very confident in paying for their medical expenses; 68% of workers have saved for retirement; 74% of retirees have saved something for retirement; 59% of workers are currently saving for retirement; 17% of retirees have over $250,000 in retirement assets; 3% of retirees retired later than planned; 45% of retirees retired earlier than planned; 5% of workers are confident in social security as an income source and 11% of current retirees are confident in social security as an income source So people are retiring earlier than they expected which is taking away time for saving for retirement. Approximately 26% of retirees have no retirement savings and must either work or depend solely on social security or their pension if they have one. If you take the fact that only 17% have $250,000 or more. If you can withdraw 4% in year one from that $250,000 nest egg to supplement your wages, or social security, that is only $10,000 gross before any tax withholding to live on. Ever want one sobering reading experience, read the survey and see what people have done since 1978 regarding their retirement. Just as we chastise the government for “Kicking the can down the road”, Americans are guilty of not putting enough effort into their retirement planning. One comforting phrase I always use when dealing with retirement financial issues is, “You Can Only Deal With Today”, by what actions you are taking now. Rather than to be unhappy about your accommodations on your current Retirement Train trip, or the Retirement Train trip that you are planning for, put a complete plan into place that will give you the best chance of not being in the position of most of those people who are in that 2011 EBRI Retirement Survey. Many people want that train to postpone its arrival, or want someone to get them a ticket to a better destination. “You can only deal with today. I hear that train a comin’ . . . be ready when it comes for you.”

In 1979, Angel Tree was created by Salvation Army Officers Captains Charles and Shirley White in Lynchburg, Virginia. Lieutenant Colonels Charles and Shirley White Currently serve as Area Commanders in Nashville. The Salvation Army Christmas fund raising efforts through the iconic Red Kettles and Angel Tree program will not only provide 17,000 individuals a joyful Christmas with gifts of clothes, toys and food from the Angel Tree program, but also will allow the organization to provide holiday meals to approximately 500 people, Christmas parties for children living in the Center of Hope, as well as housing and emergency assistance to families in need throughout the year.

Angel Tree gives individuals and partnering corporations an opportunity to adopt less fortunate children and seniors and provide personalized gifts and necessities to those who would otherwise receive very little or nothing during the holiday season.

Donors can be confident that their gifts go directly, and without excessive overhead, to those who are truly needy since all Salvation Army Angels are not served by other holiday assistance programs.

Families and individuals that registered for Angel Tree assistance are now up for adoption at the Angel Tree booths located in the RiverGate Mall, The Mall at Green Hills, Cool Springs Galleria and Hickory Hollow. Shoppers are invited to stop by our booths to “adopt an angel” for Christmas and make the holidays brighter for a child or senior citizen.

The Salvation Army and JCPenney have joined forces again this holiday season to give joy to even more children and seniors in need by offering an online option to adopt angels. The Angel Giving Tree online program allows customers to shop for an Angel online at jcp.com, in JCPenney stores or at any retailer they choose.

Angel Tree distribution will take place December 16th, 19th and 20th, where 85 families every half hour will come to the Angel Tree Warehouse, located at 700 Cowan Street, Nashville, to pick up their holiday gifts between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Adopt a Family pickups will be held on December 21st from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 128 years in the United States.

Nearly 29 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services in 5,000 communities that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. Visit us on-line to learn more or to make a donation. www.salvationarmyusa.org.

Tony & Molly July 3, 2011

It was a cold day last December 12th when Molly Brown and Tony Thompson met at Starbucks in Cool Springs for a business introduction at the suggestion of a mutual friend. After thirty minutes of business talk the conversation turned personal and 3 ½ hours later when they walked out to the parking lot they found the season’s first blanket of snow which highlighted that magical afternoon’s conversation. There were too many significant “coincidences” to ignore including both being from the same small Tennessee community where Molly was friends with Tony’s younger cousin and that, although seven years apart, they share the same birthday on April 26th.

That snowy magical afternoon ignited a spark that culminated in a marriage celebration complete with fireworks! The newly engaged couple invited 200 of their closest friends and family to celebrate their engagement and the 4th of July to a casual family barbeque at their home in Brentwood Country Club on July the 3rd, the night the club traditionally has its fireworks display. Once their guests arrived they knew they were about to be a part of an enchanted evening, as the groom’s former red brick home had been magically transformed into the new couples old-world golden stucco home complete with cypress wood shutters, stacked stone columns, cedar shake trim and copper gas lanterns; and, the backyard that flows onto the green manicured golf course was adorned with white Chinese lanterns strung from the trees over white tablecloth

topped tables with natural wildflower centerpieces.

The engagement and 4th of July party quickly turned into a surprise wedding when Judge John Everett Williams, who officiated, announced from the back deck overlooking the crowd that Tony and Molly had decided, since all their friends and family were there, to get married that evening. Simultaneously, the couple appeared from the rear to cheers and applause as they greeted their guests and made their way up to the deck for the ceremony. Surrounded by their closest family, Tony and Molly exchanged personally written vows and personally designed rings symbolic of their enchanted love as the couple’s three teenage children, Dalton, Rachel and Selah stood with them and participated in ceremony witnessed by all.

After guests enjoyed a traditional southern barbeque dinner complete with wedding cake, with the newly married couple, they spread blankets and chairs out on the golf course and watched a spectacular fireworks show put on by the Brentwood Country Club. The newlyweds spent their wedding night in their new old-world home overlooking their own “private green pasture” which was symbolic to them as they were so grateful to have found the “greenest pasture” in each other and to be finally “home” with one another.

They honeymooned for 10 days in Turks and Caicos at the luxurious Pointe Grace Resort and Spa.
