Home for the Holidays

The Christmas season is here again. For some, that thought alone conjures visions

of sugar plums, wooden soldiers, and overpriced electronics. For me, it’s about

good food, trying to stay away from legions of crazed shoppers and attempting to

coax my significant other out of her multilayered and climate controlled blanket

fort.

This month, Click gears up for the holiday season with a ton of compelling

Christmas content. From an interview with DeSoto County's premier Christmas

décor expert, Emily Layson (page 13), to the grand unveiling of what’s sure to be

the hottest shopping spot this holiday season in Tanger Outlets (page 35).

For those looking for a nice quiet night at home, our drinks and recipe features

this month boast a seasonal selection of winter lagers (page 22) and a perfect

winter cocktail (page 26). In addition, our fashion feature this month, “Winter

Wonderland” (page 72) showcases several cozy and classy looks against the

backdrop of the elaborately decorated Banks House in Hernando.

If that isn’t enough to get you inspired, look no further than this month’s featured

book review of Christmas with Southern Lady, Volume II (page 20). This lengthy tome

packs everything you need to get into the holiday spirit, from dazzling décor to

delicious recipes.

So from all of us to all of you: Happy holidays! We hope this annual injection of

Christmas cheer is enough to carry you into the new year and then some.

FOR EMILY AND MICHAEL LAYSON, owners of the Wooden Door, a 15-

year dream to own a furniture store

became a reality this year when their

Goodman Road location opened its doors.

With an eye for interior design and an

average of four to five trees in the Layson

house every year, Emily's expertise in

holiday décor came in handy this holiday

season when the Laysons hosted several

trim-a-tree parties throughout November

to get local residents in the spirit.

Click Magazine: What goes into your trim-a-tree

parties?

Emily Layson: Everybody is interested in making

their tree look like it does in a magazine or on

television. The trim-a-tree parties were small,

about 20 people. We have hors d’oeuvres and

drinks, and I do demonstrations of how to apply

the ribbon to a tree, how to place the topper,

where to put your ornaments around the tree,

things like that.

CM: Which works best: a real trees or a fake tree?

EL: It’s definitely a personal preference. Fake

trees are easy to work with as far as ribbons

and tying things in because the wires in the

branches help to stabilize things. You have a

much tougher battle trying to decorate a real

tree. I personally love a real tree, though. The

look is worth the effort. I have one in my house.

CM: What’s the perfect size for a tree?

EL: It really depends on the home and the ceiling

height. I find that 7 to 9 foot trees would probably

be a good average perfect-size tree. Obviously,

you’ll want a little bit bigger of a tree for a larger

room. I’ve had some elderly people come to

me with concerns about getting their trees up

this year, and I always recommend these table-

topper trees. They’re 3 to 4 feet tall and still

allow for a lot of decorative possibilities. That

way, you can still get those special, meaningful

ornaments out every year. Placing it on a table

gives it a little more height, so you can still have

a nice-sized Christmas tree without breaking

your back.

Page 17: Click magazine | December 2015

Click magazine | DECEMBER 2015 15

CM: What are some of the more eclectic

kinds of Christmas trees?

EL: Well, you have your Douglas fir,

they’re not as flush and full-looking.

They seem to look better with fewer

ornaments. I personally like to see the

branches on my tree — you can go a

little too wild with ribbon and really

smother the tree! Another recent

trend is the flocked tree, which a lot of

people seem to like right now. Those

are the kind with the light layer of

paint that resembles fresh snow. It

definitely gives a more outdoorsy,

woodsy feel to it.

CM: What’s something most people

overlook when it comes to ornament

placement?

EL: At least three different sizes should

be on any tree: really big, medium and

small. Everything doesn’t go on the

outside, you know. You generally want

to use your bigger ornaments on the

inside branches to kind of fill some

gaps and holes. This gives the tree a

more three-dimensional look.

CM: Is there a particular brand of

ornaments that you really like?

EL: I really like Raz, it’s a classic brand

that’s been around for years. It’s good

quality stuff. I carry Melrose brand

myself. But I’m not too partial to any one

brand — I’ll buy ornaments from Wal-

Mart if I think they’re cute, especially

for some of the filler ornaments.

CM: How should ribbon be wrapped

around the tree?

EL: Mesh has been a huge trend in

recent years, but ribbon is truly more

traditional and classic. More people

have kind of been going back to that

look recently. Like ornaments, you

really need three different styles of

ribbon: a wider ribbon and two smaller

ones, but they need to have completely

different patterns on them.

CM: What’s your favorite tree topper?

EL: For a lot of people, it’s a personal

preference — you can make almost

anything look beautiful with a little

effort. The big thing right now is to

make it look a little more like a floral

arrangement using picks. You can mix

your ribbon in there and use the picks

to hold it in place toward the top. But

I wouldn’t throw out the angels and

stars — they’re very traditional and can

work, too.

CM: What about the tree skirt?

EL: It’s probably the very last thing you

do, but it’s very important. It gives that

finishing touch and really completes

the tree. Another big trend that I’ve

seen at market is wooden boxes or

aluminum frontends of old tractors

being used to hold the tree in place. So

instead of a skirt, you have a nice little

twist on it. I was hoping to do that this

year, but it takes room.

THERE IS A SPECIAL HOLIDAY MAGIC THAT

envelopes the century-old Banks House decked out

in glittering hues of green, red and gold, along with

splashes of deep aqua, bright turquoise and colors of almost

every hue of the rainbow.

After all, the Banks House is home to the DeSoto Arts Council

which houses revolving exhibits of exquisite art painted from

the palettes of local artists.

The walls literally come alive with rich, vibrant paintings

and photographs, including hand-painted masterpieces of

wildlife, blues and gospel artists and still-life photographs.

Another masterpiece looms underneath the sparkling

crystal chandelier in the main foyer of the grand house.

It’s the painstaking creation of Lula Whittle of Hernando.

Her “masterpiece” is a gingerbread house that claimed

the top prize in the recent Gingerbread House Art Contest

sponsored by the DeSoto Arts Council. Whittle is somewhat

of an expert “builder” and creator of gingerbread houses.

“Back in the 1980s when ‘Good Housekeeping’ magazine

was holding their contest, I was one of the 250 fifth-place

winners nationwide,” said Whittle, a soft-spoken, salt-and-

pepper gray-haired woman with radiant eyes and slender

fingers that fold neatly into her lap.

Whittle said the special ingredients of constructing

a gingerbread house is mostly five parts whimsy and

imagination and one part hard work. “Basically, it consists of

working the gingerbread dough into a dry mixture and then

you add molasses and milk and butter,” Whittle said. “You

have to keep working it. Then, there is the Royal icing which

is made with meringue powder and confectioner’s sugar and

buttercream if you are going to eat it.”

Whittle said she often made gingerbread treats to hand out to

co-workers. Her former employer was almost as synonymous

with Christmas as the North Pole.

The Memphis State University graduate went to work at

one of the world’s largest gift wrap manufactures, Cleo Wrap,

which was based in Memphis for decades.

“We made all the wrap that was sold across the nation,”

said Whittle, who received a master of Fine Arts degree from

Memphis State, now the University of Memphis. “If you got

some of the wrap in a store, chances were that you saw one

of my designs.”

Whittle’s creations and those of other designers more

than likely graced Christmas presents wrapped and placed

underneath Christmas trees throughout the world.

Cleo Wrap closed its doors in 2011 and suddenly Whittle

found herself without a job.

“Fortunately, my severance was good enough that it took me

to that following January when I was at my full retirement

age.” Then in October of 2012, Whittle was dealt another blow.

“I was diagnosed with colon cancer,” Whittle said, reflecting

on that difficult period in her life. “When the company I

worked for closed and then I got cancer, that kind of hit me

in the face.” Whittle began treatments at West Clinic and

began to receive encouragement from friends and family to

aggressively fight the disease and be of good cheer.

“I would cry and then smile,” Whittle said.I went through

chemo and radiation. It was an everyday thing. As my illness

went on, by Thanksgiving, I was not feeling very well. I had

surgery in February of 2013 and then following that, I began

to feel better. I had done some cross-stitching but I really

had not done anything else creatively. When I heard about

this gingerbread house contest, it was the spark that helped

me get going again. I believe things happen for a reason.”

Constructing a gingerbread house is not unlike drawing up

plans for a real house, according to Whittle.

“You have to cut out the pattern and then bake your

gingerbread. You will have problems, just like with a real

house. This part and that part might not fit together. When

I was putting together this gingerbread house, I started to

throw it away. Then the little bears took over,” Whittle said,

describing small hand-crafted bears that represented cancer

survivors like herself.

Big House, Little House

Hernando’s Banks House gets all dressed up for Christmas

“I wanted to show support for people

going through a health problem like

cancer,” Whittle said. “Then, I said, ‘I

have to finish it.’ The ideas began to

come again.”

All in all, there are between 20 and

50 bears — all wearing different colored

ribbons — to show support for people

who have gone through cancer treat-

ment. One bear doesn’t have a ribbon,

and that’s for everyone else. The bear

with the dark blue ribbon is for colon

cancer, pink is for breast cancer and

then there is the lavender ribbon

which represents all cancer.” The Gin-

gerbread House was Whittle’s present

to herself and the public at large. Her

“little house” became an expression

of hope and joy. “It got me back into

the frame of mind that I wanted to be

in,’ Whittle said. “A lot of tears, a lot of

prayers and a lot of friends have been

a part of that journey.”

Whittle’s gingerbread house and a

host of yuletide decorations and cre-

ations are now on display at the Banks

House, located at 564 West Commerce

Street in Hernando.

“Everyone says it’s the best Christmas

decorating that we’ve done, ever,” said

Margaret Yates, Executive Director of the

DeSoto Arts Council. “We have the most

incredible volunteers and artists. They

showed up to decorate the windows

and the doors. We have colorful ribbons

running down the fence with candy canes

and gingerbread men. Our artists have

been working since August on the idea that

we would decorate it like a gingerbread

house. All of our artwork was homemade.

It looks just like a giant gingerbread house

but you just can’t eat it.”

If you are looking for the ideal book

to jumpstart your plans for creating

a charming and markedly Southern

style Christmas gathering for your

own family this year, Christmas with

Southern Lady Volume II has some

pretty impressive inspiration for you.

The book’s 164 pages are riddled with

mesmerizing photographs of everything

from holiday wreaths and florals to

beautiful wrapping ideas and tempting

recipes. The holiday style presented

by this book stands out from others

primarily because of its creative twists

on traditional Christmas décor. Its color

palettes are bold, crisp, and classic with

timeless red roses contrasting gracefully

with bright green mistletoe on many of

the book’s pages.

Keeping with the Southern theme of

the book, it showcases ways to include

sentimental handmade ornaments

and treasured heirloom items for the

Christmas table. Magnolia wreaths

and weighty evergreen garlands add

to the nostalgic quality of the book’s

overall aesthetic. Silver, crystal, and

china abound on each tablescape

presented while different sections of

the book present individual takes on

how to properly decorate for the season.

For instance, one particular chapter

is devoted to a bit more rustic style

perfectly suited for a cabin or weekend

retreat in the mountains.

And, like any good book about how we

Southerners do things, there is no short-

age of food and drink in Christmas with

Southern Lady. A dedicated chapter for

perfect winter-time beverages makes

it easy to have something prepared for

just about anyone to enjoy. “Cranberry

Pear Rosemary Cider” and “Ginger-

bread Latte” both practically warm you

from the pages of the book. A seasonal

iced tea recipe lends a little bit of extra

Southern flair which will not go unap-

preciated around here.

“Praline Sweet Potatoes” and “Spinach

and Artichoke Casserole” would be wel-

come additions to any holiday table, and

the pictures presented in the book truly

beg readers to give them a try this sea-

son. As for a sweet finish to the meal,

the book has numerous cakes and other

sweet confections which are all as beau-

tiful and they are undoubtedly delicious.

“Pumpkin Butterscotch Crème Brulee”

and “Chocolate Silk Tart” are two of the

enticing selections, but none can quite

surmount the appeal of the luscious tra-

dition of “Red Velvet Cake.” If you do not

happen to have a go-to family recipe for

this traditional Christmas dessert, the

one in the book looks to be perfectly

decadent.

When it comes to this book, elegance,

refinement, and sophistication reign

supreme. Honestly, shortcuts and quick

fixes have no place within its pages. It

is about pulling out the family china

and the best linens and creating a truly

magical Christmas heavy-laden with

love, grace, and a bit of wistfulness for

the memories of beloved Christmases

long gone. It really is about doing

Christmas the old-fashioned way, just

like any Southern lady really would.

Holiday SplendorChristmas with Southern Lady Volume II packs a plethora of

holiday inspiration

Story by SHANA RALEY-LUSK

up front books

FROM PRIZED OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY recipes to time honored traditions and gleaming

decorations, the joy of Christmas certainly lies in

its details. In the South, Christmas is all about gathering

around the table or tree with the people who you hold

dearest and reflecting on those deepest and most

important beliefs and values. While the particulars may

differ from one household to the next, the emphasis on

family, faith, and really great food hold true just about

anywhere you go down here.

NEW BELGIUM ACCUMULATION

Belgium IPA, ABV 6.20

From Colorado based New Belgium

Brewing company comes a new

seasonal IPA as smooth as a fresh snow

drift. Pours pale gold with a frothy and

delicate head. Light and slightly fruity

on the tongue, with notes of citrus, pine,

and cinnamon. A clean and refreshing

finish that leaves you wanting more.

Perfect for long winter nights by a fire.

New Belgium also offers Snow Day, a

brisk winter ale.

MAGIC HAT SNOW ROLLER

American Brown Ale, ABV 6.20

Vermont brewers Magic Hat conjure

forth a hoppy brown ale for the winter

season. A darker beverage with the light

scent of toasted breads and caramel, it

has a flavor reminiscent of chocolate

and cool peppermint. Very slightly

sugary and medium-bodied. Available

in singles and as part of the “Winterland

Variety 12-pack” which includes their

Winter Mingle Stout and the classic #9

Not Quite Pale Ale along with the Vinyl

Amber Lager.

NEW BELGIUM BEN & JERRY’S

Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale, ABV 6.30

Ben and Jerry’s, known for their wide

and eclectic blend of ice-cream flavors,

branches out into brewing with this tasty

brown ale. An intense chocolate flavor

that slowly smoothes into subtle hints

of vanilla and caramel and malted milk

balls. Very clean and dry finish. Hints

of cherries and herbs. A fun dessert

beverage for heavy winter meals which

pairs well with Christmas chocolates and

candy canes.

GHOST RIVER MIDNIGHT MAGIC

Dark Beer, ABV 5.0

From a local brewer comes a heavy beer

to get you through the hard months of

Southern winter. Billed as a “dark beer

for people who don’t think they like dark

beer” this brew has a black color and a

smooth flavor, much like a porter or

stout but without quite as much bitter

bite. Chocolate with notes of roasted

malts, it packs sufficient punch to keep

you warm on a cold evening. Goes well

with grilled meats and game-day revelry.

LOCALLY AVAILABLE, REASONABLY PRICED, AND ULTIMATELY

delicious, these Winter Seasonal beers will get you through the long months

of the holidays. Enjoy!

ABITA CHRISTMAS ALE

American Brown Ale, ABV 5.0

Louisiana-based brewery Abita cranks

out an excellent ale for the winter

season. This dark beverage pours a

clear brown and smells of pine with

subtle nutty undertones. It tastes quite

hops-forward, with a zesty feel of burnt

sugar and spruce. Would go very well

with gingerbread and perhaps a sharp

cheese.

BELL’S CHRISTMAS ALE

Scottish Ale, ABV 5.40

In the classic American beer country

of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Bell’s Brewery

continues to put out some quality

beverages with their Christmas Ale. A

reddish-orange beverage with strong

scents of caramel, smoke, and floral

bitterness, this excellent beer produces

a very drinkable result with hints

of ginger crackers and brown sugar.

Delightfully complex and layered, it

contains fine malt notes and a smooth

mouthfeel with a clean finish. Perfect

for the season, and with Bell’s new

Winter White there is a decent variety

to keep drinking straight through until

March.

AMELIORATOR DOPPELBACK

Lager, 8.8% ABV

Located on Broad Avenue in Memphis,

Wiseacre Brewery introduces their

brand new seasonal beer. Originally

brewed by monks, this strong

doppelback lager has a warm mahogany

color and smells slightly sweet with

hints of fruit and sugar. Smooth with

a pleasant toasted malt flavor on the

back of the tongue. “Doppel” means

double and this is reflected in the

alcohol content, which is more than

enough to get you through the longest

winter nights.

A Mid-Southern Night’s DreamThe husband-and-wife ballet duo of Brandon and Virginia Ramey gear up for a busy winter season

Story by MIKE LEE | Photos courtesy BALLET MEMPHIS

BRANDON AND VIRGINIA RAMEY ARE ARTISTS IN THE STRICTEST

sense — ballet being their art form — and they’ve danced for enthusiastic

audiences around the globe.

As two of Ballet Memphis’ principal dancers, the pair stands out — not just because

of their height, but their unique relationship with each other.

Brandon, at 6’5”, ranks as one of the tallest male ballet dancers in the world and

‘Ginny’ — as she’s known by friends and colleagues — stands 5'10" — tall for a

ballerina. What makes them unique in the world of ballet, however, is that they are

husband and wife. This dynamic has led to a certain synergy exclusive to the pair.

“It makes things easier because you know each other in so many ways, on so many

levels that you can anticipate which makes you both more fluid as a team,” Ginny says.

Ginny, 31, was born in Memphis and grew up in a home where her parents loved

classical music, opera, and the theater. At 5 years old, her mother enrolled Ginny in

ballet classes at Memphis Concert Ballet where she quickly embraced and loved the

dance form.

Throughout elementary school, she spent summers studying ballet and by age 17,

in 2001 she joined Ballet Memphis, having graduated early from White Station high

school. Ginny was signed to a 40-week contract and took her place in the company

of dancers, performing productions around the mid-south, including the stage at

the Orpheum. 

Brandon’s career began in Framingham, Massachusetts, just outside Boston where he

was born. When he was seven, his mother would drop him off at ballet classes where his

sister was enrolled and he would watch

and eventually mimic the movements

of the students. By age 13, he knew he

wanted to dance, showing exceptional

poise, grace, and control. Realizing that

their son was gifted, Brandon’s parents

enrolled him in the Central Pennsylvania

Youth Ballet School where, over the

course of two summers he took high

school credit classes in the mornings

and in the afternoon, ballet classes. “To

be honest, I always felt awkward because

even at 13 I was already 6 feet tall and

many thought I’d choose basketball as a

career,” Brandon says. 

But he still had much to learn and five

more inches to grow. At 18, Brandon

joined the San Francisco Ballet School,

but broke an ankle when he had a bad

fall during a landing which sidelined him,

and he took two years off.

Having fallen behind the class, he

resigned to move on. But he’d been seen

and was offered an opportunity to join

Ballet Memphis by Dorothy Pugh, CEO

and founding artistic director of the

company. “We love it here in Memphis,”

Brandon says. “We feel we can give more

to the community, both in performance

and in instruction since we teach ballet

as well.”

This month, Brandon and Ginny will

reprise their roles as Cavalier and Sugar

Plum in the Nutcracker.

up front causes

NOTHING SAYS 21ST CENTURY LIKE A BRAND-spanking new skate park. And for residents of Hernando,

Mississippi, a three-year effort has become a reality.

The newly modeled and currently-unnamed skate park at

Renasant Park in Hernando sports all the ramps, bowls and boarder

accoutrement worthy of the pros.

The residents of DeSoto County can thank Chad Crawford and

Edward Pidgeon for their years of work to deliver North Mississippi

its beautiful new space. Crawford, 34, was born in Picayune,

Mississippi. He got his first skateboard when he was nine years

old. He and his family moved to Miramar, California in 1989 and

returned to Mississippi in 2001 and settled in Horn Lake.

“26 years later, and I love it more than ever,” he says.

Crawford met Pidgeon at the opening of the Tobey Park skate park

in Memphis. Pidgeon is a Memphis native with deep roots in the

city, but his semi-pro surfing career has taken him around the globe.

“He is probably the most caring, selfless individual I’ve ever had

the pleasure of knowing,” Chad says. “Soon after we met I learned

that he also lived in Hernando and was working on petitioning the

city to add a skate park to a large park that was being planned, so of

course I wanted in.”

Once Pidgeon and Crawford secured a location, they set up an

account for donations managed by the Parks and Recreation

Foundation and began a variety of fundraising efforts.

“Edward did the lion’s share. We set up at the farmers market to

beg for change and he stood longer than anyone else. We had an

art sale. He did a letter writing campaign that brought in $5,000. He

spent years driving countless miles to collect and recycle cans and

not a single penny went into his gas tank,” Crawford says. “When

construction began, he used his connections to secure the best price

possible on concrete and dirt.”

Crawford and Pidgeon have held numerous free skateboarding

clinics for kids and to show the community that they can make

anything happen if they are willing to work for it. In order to apply

for grants they needed a picture and some base numbers.

Pidgeon approached several of the top artisan skate park builders

for help, but no one would do it for less than $1000. Then Evergreen

stepped up. Evergreen Skate parks is a Portland, Oregon based

business that was founded by longtime skateboarders Billy and

Catherine Coulon. Evergreen Skateparks is a family-run company

that grew out of a desire to make the

most fun, finely crafted skateparks

possible.

“The owner was out of the country on a

build and he racked up a sizable phone

bill trying to coordinate with their office,”

Crawford says. “Not only did they help

but it actually cost them money to do so.

The crew that they sent was awesome.

Some of the coolest people I’ve ever had

the pleasure of working with.”

Evergreen knew how much this project

meant to Pidgeon and Crawford and

allowed them to be there every day to

give input. “The crew that they sent was

awesome! Some of the coolest people I’ve

ever had the pleasure of working with.

I actually worked beside them while

we turned our dreams into reality with

our bare hands. It was a very spiritual

experience and we were a family by the

end,” Crawford says.

The design of the park was a product of

the skateboarders involved in the build.

Pidgeon and Crawford talked with the

crew extensively about the purpose they

wanted the park to serve. They wanted a

place for both the person who has never

skated and the seasoned skater to enjoy.

“We wanted a park that was different

than all the others in the area and that’s

exactly what we got. The flow of the park

almost forces you to work on the base

fundamentals of riding so progression

is basically built into the park. If you

come out and ride a few times a week

you will notice a marked improvement

in your balance and turning. I’ve already

seen it happen,” Crawford says.

Crawford and Pidgeon want to do

a “phase two” of the park with a price

tag of $180,000-$200,000. The addition

would include a plaza/street area, a

bowl and shade structures.

on October 10. Between live music, a pop-up

skateshop, and a demo, the afternoon was a dream

come true for many in the community. The skatepark

has been years in the making, with a fair amount of

funds coming from Hernando Skates’ Ed Pidgeon and

Chad Crawford’s own wallets. The duo raised $40,000

in four years, and received a $100,000 grant from

the city last year, which ultimately made the park

possible. Photos by MIKE LEE

Two years ago, Tasha Higginbotham was diagnosed with complete renal

failure. Now, a possible kidney donor has finally been found for Higginbotham.

After getting tested, a friend from Colorado Springs discovered that she is

a positive match. Higginbotham hopes to have the kidney transplant surgery

in December. To help with costs, a fundraiser was held at Cedar Hill Farm on

September 22. Friends and family from across the community came out to support

Higginbotham by taking part in a silent auction, purchasing baked goods and more.

THE HOUSE THAT

Gladys Fleming’s Olive Branch home is packed to the brim with holiday cheer and history

Directions: Just off I-55 at exit 289. Turn east and make a right at Southcrest Parkway. Go towards the Towne Center Mall . W e a r e o n t h e r i g h t s i d e b e h i n d

W a l m a r t a n d b e s i d e J C P e n n y .

Kids love the decorations, but I do this mainly for senior adults

WWalking through the door of Gladys

Fleming’s home this time of the

year definitely puts visitors in the

Christmas spirit. With an ever-present

holiday music blaring, the light scent

of cinnamon and wall-to-wall holiday

decorations, one might swear they

were transported somewhere between

the Island of Misfit Toys and a Macy’s

department store in late December.

Gladys has decorated the two-story,

7,000 square foot home every year

since moving to DeSoto County from

Texas. The effort is a labor of love, as

she prepares her home well before the

holiday season and coordinates all of

the décor herself.

“Kids love the decorations, but I do this

mainly for senior adults,” she says. “So

many are left out around Christmas time

and even more have physical disabilities

that makes decorating a chore. For a lot

of them, their visit the only Christmas

they have.

Page 88: Click magazine | December 2015

A bevy of themed rooms in the Fleming residence includes

four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two dens, a sitting room, and

living and dining areas. Each rooms is decked out with dozens

of portraits of Santa, garland, nutcrackers, snowmen, themed

Christmas trees and nearly everything else that could be

considered fit for the holidays.

Six Christmas trees and thousands of ornaments usher visitors

through the sprawling halls of the Fleming home, with each room

and the pathways between bearing a different Christmas theme.

The Night Before Christmas room, a child’s bedroom decorated

all in red, is a Fleming favorite. “My husband and I used to sleep

in that room and wake up every Christmas morning like we

were little kids,” she says.

There’s also the Village room, which presents a floor-to-ceiling

diorama of a tiny winter wonderland against a blue Styrofoam

sky backdrop lit with “stars.”

This year marks the end of the DeSoto County Christmas

House’s multi-year run. Gladys says she will donate most of her

trove of Christmas decorations to the city at the end of the year.

sphere. Solid white lights are a classic and give a magical look when

wrapped around trees and bushes. As a bonus, you can put them up

a little early and leave them for the entire holiday season to enjoy.

CHOOSING A THEME Theme is important, even when decorating for the holidays. Rus-

tic, Shabby Chic, Traditional or Monochromatic color schemes are

all options. You can go simple and just style your tree in a chosen

theme or go all out and decorate every single room in your house.

TANNENBAUM TIME Get the tree up early. Giving your-

self the most time to enjoy it will

be worth all the hard work. If you

get a live tree, set an alarm on your

phone to help remind you to water it.

A FANCY FÊTEIt’s the perfect time to throw a party

when you already have your house

decorated. Christmas is a built- in

theme - just add food and friends. 

Cocktail parties are great for hosting

at your home because you don’t

have to worry about adding a lot of

extra seating. Appetizers passed or

on a buffet keep guests mingling and

moving about. You could even ask

guests to bring their favorite drink to

share which is easy on the budget.

MISTLETOE MOMENTSWhether you have a handful of close

friends sharing dinner or a full on

Holiday shindig, make sure to capture

your memories through pictures and

video. And then actually print them or

have a photo book made. This will be

something you will cherish for years

to come.

Money Resolutions for 2016Tips for a fortunate new year

START SMALLYou’re more likely to meet a small,

specific goal than you are to stick with

a lofty resolution all year long. If your

finances are out of control, start with

something manageable – like collecting

all of your account statements and

writing down your net worth. If you

want to pay off debt, resolve to earn

an extra $100 by working an odd job

or selling some possessions you don’t

really need. Then move onto one more

thing you can do. Rather than failing at

a resolution after a week, causing you to

give up, these “little wins” will motivate

you to do more.

MOTIVATE YOURSELF BY MEASURING BACKWARD, NOT FORWARDWhether we’re trying to eat better, get

more done at work, or spend less, we

tend to imagine the ideal – never eating

the cupcakes, working a disruption-free

8 hours, or saving every spare penny. Of

course, nobody ever lives up to these

unrealistic ideals, which makes us feel

like we’re failing.

Anytime you catch yourself measuring

yourself against an ideal, instead look

back at the progress you’ve already

made. It will do wonders for motivating

you to take the next step

FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIMETrying to accomplish too many things

at once makes it unlikely you’ll succeed

at any. Instead of simultaneously

resolving to pay down debt, build

your credit score and save for a down

payment, pick the ONE thing that will

make the most difference. For example:

If you’re living paycheck-to-paycheck,

save $500 or $1,000 as a buffer so

you don’t need to tap credit when

unexpected expenses arise.

If you have high interest debt, pay it off

before trying to save for other goals.

On the other hand, if you have student

loans that will take years to pay off

but need to save up to buy a car in

the meantime, save money for the car

before worrying about making extra

payments on your loans.

spirit than to split a plate of cookies with the man

in red. That’s right, good ol’ St. Nick is making a

stop at Cedar Hill Farm in Hernando. Treat the kids

to a special holiday outing at the farm where they

can take pictures with Santa and make sure they’re
