TIDBITS® TRIMS THE TREE
IT’S ORNAMENTALby Patricia L. Cook
This Tidbits examines ornaments used during the holidays. Some are historical, most beautiful, many breakable, and plenty just fun! • One of the dictionary definitions for ornamental is:
decorative: serving as a decoration and having no practical use.
• Historically it is said that the holiday tradition of decorating Christmas trees started in Germany. The first decorations were simple white candles followed by roses a bit later.
• In 1605, a groundbreaking moment occurred when a tree in Strasbourg, France, a city on the Rhine River near the German border, was brought inside for decorating. It was adorned with paper roses, nuts, wafers, sweets and lighted candles. After this, more trees were brought indoors and making ornaments became a family holiday tradition.
• Much imagination was used to come up with thoughtful and creative decorations, including cookies and painted eggshells. The introduction of tinsel in 1610 was a huge favorite, originally made with pure silver.
• One of the first Christmas trees in England was an 1840 Royal Family celebration when Queen Victoria included a tree in honor of her German-born husband Prince Albert’s heritage. Being the great influence that she was, many people wanted their own trees!

◆ Need a quick batch of cookies? Keep a box mix of cake on hand. Instead of the listed ingredients, add two eggs and a half-cup of oil to the mix. Mix and shape, then bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. They are really good, and you can get pretty creative.
◆ Inexpensive gift idea: cute holiday coffee mug with a bar of chocolate, a packet of hot cocoa or instant coffee, a peppermint stick and a decorative holiday pick or spray. Place inside a gallon-size zipper-top bag, tie with a ribbon, then trim off the zipper-top, leaving just the plastic. Looks nice.
◆ Instead of going out and buying extra items to have on hand for guests, just borrow from your neighbors. Extra towels, place settings, silverware, kitchen appliances: It’s a pretty good bet that someone on your street has it for you to borrow. If you don’t know your neighbors well enough to ask, maybe you should start planning a get-to-know-you party right now.
◆ Inexpensive gift idea: On the front of an empty photo album or scrapbook, print out and arrange color photos of your recipient in a collage. Glue the photos to the front of the album and cover with a decoupage glaze, like Mod Podge. Let dry and glaze again. You’ve just made a one-of-a-kind gift!
Q: Ever since “GCB” was canceled, I’ve scoured the networks to find some of my favorite actors on other series. I haven’t seen Mark Deklin on anything recently, so I wondered if you could tell me what he is up to. Ñ- Gigi W., via email
A: Mark recently filmed a guest spot on “Castle” (it is episode 10, which is set to air in early January), where he plays a man whose girlfriend is found dead. Later in 2013 (an exact date has not been set yet), you can see Mark on the big screen in a
live-action version of “Tarzan.”Mark told me about the film and his character, John Greystoke: “It’s not the Victorian ‘Tarzan’ that we all grew up with. It’s a modern take on it. My character is almost like a Richard Branson type -- a wealthy but well-intentioned adventurer and entrepreneur. He discovers there’s a serious energy source -- a sort of meteorite, which crashed in Africa -- and he wants to find it.“He brings his family with him, which of course is a stupid decision, but I suppose in the moment it doesn’t seem stupid because he doesn’t go thinking he’s going to die. He ends up unleashing a mystical force that he never could have anticipated, and everything goes south.”
***Q: I just rented “The Queen of Versailles” and was mesmerized by the story of David Siegel, his wife, Jackie, his family,
and his struggle to save his time-share/real-estate business. Do you have any updates on how he is doing now? -- George F., Naples, Fla.
A: David recently made national news when he sent a memo to his employees encouraging them to vote for Mitt Romney in the recent presidential elections. But, politics aside, David was quoted in a Reuters interview this past summer: “We’re the most profitable we’ve ever been.” He also is continuing work on his family’s new home, which is modeled on the Palace of Versailles in France. In fact, just before the movie’s premiere, David filed a defamation suit over the film’s portrayal of his business as failing, asserting that some of the film’s scenes were staged or exaggerated.
***Q: When will “Merlin” return to Syfy? --
Felix S., via e-mailA: Season five of the popular fantasy series, which premieres Friday, Jan. 4, at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy, will be the final season of the show. Executive producers (Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy) promise fans that “Merlin” is “leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best-known elements of this much-loved story, and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot.”
***Q: Will there be an “Avengers” sequel? -- Paul G., Tulsa, Okla.
A: After “The Avengers” smashed all sorts of box-office records this summer, you can bet there will be a sequel. “The Avengers 2” is set to premiere May 1, 2015, with the original cast, as well as some new faces.

◆ It was the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, who made the following observation: “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
◆ Those who study such things say that a rainbow can’t be seen at midday; the optical phenomena are visible only in the morning or in the late afternoon.
◆ In 1982, a radio station in Allentown, Pa., thought its rating could use a bit of a boost, so it came up with a contest: Three contestants, selected at random, would live on top of one of the station’s billboards (portable toilets and sleeping bags were provided). The last one to give up would be awarded a mobile home. The problem was, nobody wanted to give up. The three men who climbed to the top of the sign at the end of September were still there come March 1983. In that month, one of the contestants was arrested for dealing drugs, but the remaining two stayed aloft until May. Once the freezing winter was finally over, the radio station decided to declare both of the men winners.
◆ As the end of the year approaches, you might consider an old British tradition of fortune-telling. Light a candle, place it on the floor and jump over it. If the flame does not go out, you’re likely to enjoy good luck during the coming year.
◆ If you’re like the average American, you use between 75 and 100 gallons of water every day.
◆ The Sahara Desert is nearly as large as the continental United States.***Thought for the Day: “If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.” -- W.C. Fields
IT’S ORNAMENTAL (continued):• Many of the ornaments in the early years of
decorating trees were handmade from paper, cloth or even foods, such as cookies. Hand-stitched snowflakes were also very popular.
• Special items that emerged for decorating trees in America were cranberries and popcorn. Early Americans would string the readily available, colorful foods for trimming their trees.
• President Franklin Pierce was the first U.S. president to have a Christmas tree in the White House, in 1856. The first “national” Christmas tree erected was by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. However, the first “official” tree was not switched on complete with electric lights until President Calvin Coolidge moved the tree to its location near the White House in 1923.
• Up until the 1880s Christmas ornaments were mainly handmade by families and friends and given as gifts. Many were disposed of after a season. The only ornaments sold publicly were hand-cast lead and hand-blown glass German decorations.
• Lauscha, Germany became the hub of the glass ornament business and had many glass companies. For years they had been producing glass articles such as marbles and bottles and soon began creating glass molds for ornaments. Their first ornaments were molds of Christian saints, famous people, children, animals and more. These new ornaments were a huge success and were in demand. Nearly every family in the Lauscha area became involved in the business of making glass Christmas ornaments either in a home-based foundry or local factory
• Ornaments became highly prized possessions with the special touches of individual craftsmanship. Germany captured the world market for glass Christmas ornaments for many years.
• Another German city, Dresden, near Lauscha, started its own ornament businesses, different from the glass ornaments of their neighbors. The Dresden artists constructed brightly colored designs of birds, fish and other animals out of pressed and embossed paper. Their treasures were a hit as well; for weddings, birthdays and other occasions in addition to Christmas.
Canadian-American Singer-Songwriter Leah West adds yet another accolade to her bustling career as it was standing room only at the Minstrel Cafe and Bar in Kelowna, British Columbia. The new CD release “Speechless” was a complete sell out as her sparkling stage presence was enjoyably eloquent. Furthermore, Leah West held the audience spellbound from beginning to end.
Leah West is the winner of the 2011 BCIMA “People’s Choice Award” and was also justifiably nominated for three other awards, including “Songwriter of the Year” “Single of the Year” and “Pop/Contemporary recording artist of the year”. Leah West has many more fine tuned talents as a dancer, actress, photographer, oil painter and much more. She is both Canadian & American and speaks English, French & Spanish.
This beautiful and talented songstress is assuredly on her way to super stardom as a song writer/performer and I strongly recommend that you do not miss any of her future performances.You can find this wonderful talent at:www.leahwest.comwww.SocialClubCentral.com (Okanagan Social Club)www.SocialClubCentral.com/profile/LeahWest

Celebrate More, Stress LessIs the rush, rush, rush of the holiday season giving you a bah-
humbug attitude? Now is the week to take a breather, relax and enjoy what already awaits you and your family in your own community. Discover how busy local elves have been, working all year long to plan a cultural feast of crafts, concerts and colossal events for us all. You also might be inspired to create your own simple versions of holiday delights when you get back home. Here are some ideas to warm up the season:--Treat your family to an early Christmas gift with tickets to a holiday performance in your area.Traditional favorites include “The Nutcracker,” Handel’s “Messiah,” “Amahl and the Night Visitors” and “The Little Match Girl.” Before you attend the performance, familiarize your children with what they will see and hear. Visit your public library for a version in the form of a book, CD or DVD, or check for excerpts online.Enjoy discussing the background of the work, including the historical period it represents. If you are preparing for a musical, listen to a recording and notice your children begin to hum their favorite melodies.
After you attend the performance, encourage your children to produce their own version by pulling out clothes and hats from a dress-up box and re-enacting a favorite scene.--Take in holiday events at historic sites and museums. Make a traditional craft from another country to decorate your home, prepare a tasty treat that the early pioneers made on wood-burning stoves, or discover how Christmas was celebrated in a
1900s logging or mining camp while you breathe in the brisk winter air on a horse-drawn wagon.--Let music soothe holiday stress right at home.Heat up cups of hot cider and create your own version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Now hundreds of years old, this yuletide carol continues to
delight all ages. Spice up the familiar version and make your own verses such as: 12 grandmas baking, 11 children singing, 10 dads a-shoveling, 9 pairs of mittens, etc.--Let visions of sugar plums dance in their heads.Gather quilts and pillows, and let kids sleep beside your twinkling Christmas tree.
****Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Her latest book is “Donna Erickson’s Fabulous Funstuff for Families.”
Find the Right Gifts for Dogs or Cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My daughter and her family have two big dogs and a cat. I like giving gifts to the pets as well as my grandkids. Do you have any suggestions? -- Tammy, via email
DEAR TAMMY: Anything that looks cozy, fun and safe for pets is a good bet. I’ve always appreciated even small gifts like a cute bandanna for my dog or small catnip toys for my cat. If you’re looking for gifts beyond stocking stuffers, here are some that most pet owners will appreciate:--Dog and cat beds: These range in price from about $15 on up to a few hundred dollars. Look for a sturdy fabric covering that is easy to brush fur from, and stuffing that can’t be easily pulled out and chewed on.--Cat furniture: From a simple padded windowsill seat to “kitty condo” play complexes that cats can wander through, cat owners appreciate these combination scratching posts and rest areas.--Travel safety: A number of products have come on the market to keep dogs and cats safe in the car, from traditional travel crates to adapted seat belts that keep Fido securely in his seat. --Toys: For your daughter’s big dogs, sturdy chew toys are probably welcome. I still really like Kong chew toys, which are nearly impossible to damage and can be filled with peanut butter or another treat. For cats, something beyond the catnip mouse could include one of Bergan’s “Turbo Tracks,” in which a ball inset in a round or figure-eight track scoots around with every swipe of the paw.No matter which gift you choose, or if you decide to just give small, inexpensive gifts to your daughter’s pets, I’m sure they’ll be appreciated.
Walking Around Vernon...By Marty kelly
I made a stop at Panago Pizza and found they have a new Jambalaya pizza and and New Orleans version. But most startling of all I found that the manager Stacy is leaving next week! She gave me this note to pass on to you. “After 7 and a half years I would like to say thank you to all the staff that I have had the pleasure to work with, good luck in the future. To all of the customers I have gotten to know by name and by face I will miss seeing and greeting you. To Martin who worked with me for six years thank you for all your hard work. But most of all to Maurice, Sarah, Julia and Rebecca.... I will miss you. “ -Stacy Sarrazin.I will miss you too Stacy, I almost wish I could follow you to Calgary.In a related note Piizza Factory wants me to announce that they now offer 10% off from Tuesday to Thursday... and they already have great prices!

HelpfulTips
This is a brand new column that we’re going to be offering each week. It is written by Trevor Cairns, the publisher of Tidbits Vernon & Tidbits Kelowna. Trevor is a resident of Vernon and been living & doing business in the Okananan for almost 10 years. Mostly, these practical tips are little tidbits of information (pardon the pun) that Trevor has found helpful to his own life. Some things you’ll like, some you may not. You may agree or disagree. But please take what you will, and consider it a gift from Tidbits – The Neatest little Paper Ever Read®
Today’s Tip of the Week has to do with snack foods. Are you the type of person that likes to munch on some snacks while watching tv or reading a good book? For a lot of us, our snack-of-choice is a bowl of potato chips or tortilla chips. These chips though can be greasy, fattening and leave us feeling guilty because we’ve indulged in a snack that’s not exactly what the doctor would recommend. But here’s the problem: Most healthy alternatives don’t taste good. They may be healthy, but they are not filling, not fun to eat, and end up turning a ‘treat’ into a chore. But my tip this week will hopefully change all that. Next time you’re at the grocery store, look for the brand PoPchips® (Pop Chips)*. These chips are really delicious, very similar to regular chips (no sacrificing flavor or texture) and best of all – they’re pretty healthy. They are gluten free, and certified Kosher by the kof-k kosher supervision. And some flavors are even vegan. All Pop Chips use non-gmo ingredients. There is 0 grams of trans fats, 0 grams of saturated fats, and in fact, there is no oil used at all in the popping process (to a little bit to make the seasonings stick to them). I noticed this right away, because when you eat them – you don’t get greasy fingers like you do with other potato chips. This week’s Tip of the Week is this: Next time you have a craving for a snack, try a bag of Pop Chips. They’re tasty and healthy (a great combination!) and are available just about everywhere chips are sold. And that’s this week’s Tip of the Week!
*More info on Pop Chips can be found at www.popchips.com or by calling Pop Chips at 1.866.217.9327. Please note that I receive no compensation for writing about Pop Chips; its just a tip that has helped me and I wanted to share it with you. Nothing more. (But you’re welcome PoPchips®)
