the time. A new blanket or throw for a bed or to cuddle up with in a favorite recliner might be the perfect gift.
Family history book: Budding writers can interview their aging parents and jot down family stories. Those stories and anecdotes can be compiled into a book and combined with photos to make a family history log, which can be gifted back to the interviewee.
Robotic vacuum: Keeping up with the household chores is easier with a robotic vacuum that automatically scours carpets and hard-surface floors. This eliminates having to wrestle with a cumbersome vacuum and tripping over the cord.
Key finder: A key finder can help adults find their keys if they are misplaced. Some employ radio frequency, while others utilize Bluetooth technology and can be paired to a smartphone.
Magnifying light: Older parents who like to do puzzles or close-up work like knitting or stitching can benefit from an LED lamp that also has a magnifying glass built right in.
E-reader: Avid readers may enjoy an e-reader because they don’t have to find spots to store even more books in their homes. E-readers can be customized so the print is the right size for the reader’s needs.
When shopping for elderly parents, it may not be as simple as identifying interests, particularly if Mom and Dad are experiencing age-related health issues. Consider these gift ideas that may be ideal for the aging adults in your life.
Cozy blanket: Older adults may have trouble regulating their body temperatures, which can translate to feeling cold a lot of
Resistance bands: Resistance bands are like large rubber bands that exert force to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.

As the holiday season approaches, many of us start dreaming of cozy dinners filled with family, laughter, and, of course, delicious food. While traditional roasts and hearty casseroles often steal the spotlight, why not spice things up this year with a festive grilling experience? Grilling for Christmas dinner can add a unique flair to your holiday gathering, creating an unforgettable meal that everyone will love.
Embrace Flavors of the Season
Grilling doesn’t have to be reserved for summer months. In fact, winter offers some of the best opportunities to enjoy the smoky, charred flavors that come from cooking outdoors. Think about incorporating seasonal ingredients into your grilling menu:
Herb-Crusted Prime Rib: Elevate your holiday roast by grilling a herbcrusted prime rib. Marinate the meat with rosemary, thyme, and garlic,
then sear it over high heat before moving it to indirect heat for a perfect medium-rare finish.
Cranberry Glazed Turkey: Forget the oven—try a grilled turkey with a tangy cranberry glaze. Basting with a mixture of cranberry sauce, orange juice, and spices will keep the turkey moist and infuse it with festive flavors.
Vegetable Kebabs: Don’t overlook your sides! Skewer seasonal vegetables like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers for vibrant, char-grilled delights. A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of feta will take these to the next level.
Get Creative with Side Dishes Your grill can do more than just cook the main course.
Think outside the box with these side dish ideas:
Grilled Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Boil your potatoes, then mash them with roasted garlic and cream. Finish by grilling them in a cast-iron skillet for a crispy top.
Grilled Fruit for Dessert: For a sweet ending, grill seasonal fruits like pears, apples, or pineapples. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with honey for a simple yet elegant dessert.
When hosting overnight guests, a relaxing homemade brunch can make for the perfect way for hosts and their guests to ease into a day.
Mushroom Sausage Frittata
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 tablespoon good-quality olive oil
2 cups chopped smoked sausage
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
8 fresh eggs
3-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1. Preheat oven broiler.
2. Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet. Add sausage and sauté until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 3 additional minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see I don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe! But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, See my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, Then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.”
It seems so long since I could say, “Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle (thhhh) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, My two front teeth, See my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, Then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love, Even more than I usually do, And although I know, It’s a long road back, I promise you...
I’ll be home for Christmas, You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe, And presents round the tree. Christmas Eve will find me, Where the love light gleams.
I’ll be home for Christmas, If only in my dreams.
This time of year also is one for dabbling in creative pursuits. Now is a prime opportunity to bond with children over a table full of paint, glue, beads, and other crafty supplies. The crafts made during the holidays often become cherished mementos that will be regarded fondly for years to come. Here are some ideas to inspire holiday creativity.
Handprint crafts are popular among children. Adults and children can dip their hands into washable white paint and make a handprint stamp on a small canvas, wooden palette or even a terracotta flowerpot. Decorate the white fingerprints with black dots to look like the faces of the snowmen and paint on top hats and scarves. In the years to come, artists can marvel at how small their hand prints once were.
Repurpose wine corks by crafting adorable little reindeer. Two corks make up the head and the body, and four vertically will comprise the feet. Stick on googly eyes, and add a small red or black bead for the nose. Pipe cleaners can be bent to form the reindeer s antlers.
This craft also makes use of handprints. Ask all family members to trace their handprints on different colors of construction paper or card stock. Cut out all of the paper hands, punch holes in the tops and then string a ribbon through. Decorate the Christmas tree or a mantle with this garland.
Paint the tips of gathered pine cones with green paint and allow to dry. Add white glitter or paint as snow. Glue
the pine cones to wine corks that will serve as the tree trunks, and attach a small wooden star to the top of the trees for the finishing touch.
Decoupage ornaments
Purchase wooden or plastic ball ornaments. Cover with small scraps of cut fabric or paper dipped in craft glue or Mod Podge , and attach to the ornament in an overlapping fashion. Remember to add a string from which the ornament can be hung on the tree. Allow to dry completely before use.
Paper chain Advent calendar
Cut strips of paper to make a link for every day of Advent. Advent begins on Sunday, December 1, 2024, and lasts until Christmas. The top link can be any design artists prefer, but those who need a little inspiration can consider a religious symbol, the face of a reindeer, a snowman, or a Christmas tree. Hang the chain and then children can take turns ripping off a link from the bottom each day as they count down to the holiday.
Popsicle stick snowflakes
Paint four popsicle sticks per snowflake in desired colors. Decorate with glue, pompoms, beads, or other trinkets. Add small looped strings to hang the ornaments.
Parents, grandparents and children can have fun crafting holiday decorations this December.

As the Festival of Lights draws near, families and communities prepare to celebrate Hanukkah—a time of joy, reflection, and cherished traditions. This eightday holiday, also known as the Festival of Lights, commemorates the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days during the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Let’s explore the rich customs, delicious recipes, and ways to embrace the spirit of Hanukkah. Hanukkah begins on the 25th of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, typically falling in late November or December. This holiday honors the Maccabees’ victory over the
Greeks and the miracle of the oil that burned in the menorah for eight days, even though there was only enough for one.
At the heart of Hanukkah celebrations is the lighting of the menorah, a ninebranched candelabrum. Each night, a new candle is added, starting with one on the first night and culminating in all eight being lit on the final night. The middle candle, known as the shamash, is used to light the others. Families often gather to recite blessings and sing traditional songs while the candles flicker brightly.

Food plays a significant role in Hanukkah festivities, with many dishes reflecting the holiday’s themes of oil and miracles. One beloved recipe to add to your festive table is:
Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, grated
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes and onion. Drain excess liquid. Add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.
Another cherished tradition during Hanukkah is playing with the dreidel, a foursided spinning top. Each side bears a Hebrew letter: nun, gimel, hey, and shin, representing the phrase “A great miracle happened there.” Families often play for chocolate coins (gelt) while enjoying each other’s company.
