Redefine the Christmas tree Today, more and more people are living in small homes. apartments and lofts in cities where concrete definitely outnumbers the greenery. That is why many city dwellers fill their homes with potted plants and herbs to bring a touch of the outdoors to their urban lifestyle. The same limited space may also make it difficult for a person who lives in a small apartment to enjoy a full-size Christmas tree. In place of an artificial, desktop variety, why not think innovatively and create your own miniature evergreen? Canada has has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. M41!

Kevin & Larry and families Low -Stress Holiday Entertaining (MS) — • Make a detailed list for the party and break everything down by time — two weeks before, two days before, day of, et cetera. • Do as much ahead of time as possible — make and freeze cookie dough, chili, lasagna. • Make salad dressings the week of the party. • Take stock of all serving pieces, utensils, dishware, crystal and linens. This way, they can be replaced or borrowed ahead of time. • Clean the oven before the dinner. Most roasts require high temperatures, and a dirty oven will smoke up the entire house. It will be easier to clean after the meal. • Clean and press all linens, then hang them up for use later. • Freeze candles so they burn longer. They won't have to be replaced as frequently. • Stock vanilla ice cream in the freezer for eggnog and easy, last- minute desserts. • Stock the bar, and be sure not to forget the garnishes. • Sharpen all knives, especially the carving knife. • Keep a stock of heavy plastic disposable plates, glasses, utensils for last Minute guests. • Keep specialty foods and non- perishable hor d'oeuvres on hand, such as cheeses, olives, nuts, smoked salmon and smoked oysters. • Most importantly, keep it simple — remember the holidays are about spending time.with loved ones. Enjoy yourself. Source: OXO International, Circulon and Sally Sampson SENDING OUR BEST Please accept this load of good cheer, along with our thanks for your business this year!
