A kiss is not just a kiss when under the mistletoeChances are, holiday rev-

elers will find themselves underneath the mistletoe at least once this holiday sea-son. While they might know what to do when that time comes, they might not know the history of the plant above their heads.

Especially sacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was be-lieved to bestow life and fer-tility, while also protecting against poison and serving as an aphrodisiac.

Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his successor.

Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or entryways from one room to another. This tradition can also trace itself back several centuries to the Middle Ag-es. During the Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward

off evil spirits. Throughout Europe, mistletoe was placed over doorways in the house as well as the stables as a means to preventing the entrance of witches.

The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fer-tility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of mer-rymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady stand-ing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eter-nal friendship.

History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace. In Scandinavia, mis-tletoe was considered a plant of peace. When standing un-derneath the mistletoe, en-emies could declare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil with a kiss.

Apple Appeal

Cool autumn days in-spire us to take advantage of the season’s bounty. A visit to an apple orchard, a food festival or farmer’s market is a wonderful family outing and provides the freshest produce avail-able.

Martha White® Bak-ing Expert Linda Carman observes, “delicious and affordable, fall apples are wonderfully versatile, equally at home in a pie or

as a companion to meats like pork. However, apple desserts probably top the all-time favorite list.”

Sour Cream Apple Wal-nut Cake is the perfect fall dessert. Moist and spicy, this cake is quick and easy to stir up. You don’t even need to get out the mixer. Nice to have on hand for after school snacks or des-sert with friends and fam-ily, the cake also travels well to a bake sale or pot luck dinner. The cream

cheese glaze stays soft, so transport in a cake carrier or purchase a disposable one at the store.

Lesser known holidays and traditions celebrated by many

December is more than Santa Claus, Christmas trees, candy canes and mistletoe. For mil-lions of people throughout the world, the month of December also means the arrival of other holidays.

For the Jewish community, it means that Chanukah is around

the corner. In the African-Amer-ican community, the day after Christmas ushers in the start of Kwanzaa, a relatively new but increasingly popular cel-ebration. While the focus of the holidays differs, both are joyous occasions for family and friends to gather and celebrate. Here is a brief history of these two other December celebrations.

ChanukahChanukah, the Festival of

Lights, commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after its desecra-tion by the Greek Syrians. In 168 BCE, Judah Maccabee led a suc-cessful revolt against the Syrian king, Antiochus IV, in response to his attempts to wipe out the Jewish faith. One element of the Syrian strategy was to change the Holy Temple of Jerusalem into a Greek temple, but the Jews reclaimed the temple and cleansed it in preparation for its rededication. However, there was very little oil remaining to

light the temple menorah (or candelabra) since most of the lamp oil had been polluted. But the oil that was only enough for one day miraculously burned for the eight days it took to find more oil. This is considered to be the origin of the eight-day celebration of Chanukah.

Starting on the evening of the 25th day of the Hebrew month Kislev, the eight days of Chanu-kah are observed by placing and lighting one candle in the meno-rah (or chanukiah) which holds eight candles, one for each day of the miracle and a ninth can-dle called the shamash (mean-ing “helper” or “servant”) that is used to light the other candles. Two candles are then lit on the second night and so on until the eighth night.

KwanzaaKwanzaa is a holiday created

in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga to celebrate African-American family, community and culture. The holiday is celebrated over

a seven-day period, from De-cember 26 through January 1, and is based on the first African harvest celebrations. The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahi-li phrase “matunda ya kwanza,” meaning “first fruits.” Kwanzaa highlights the traditional Afri-can values of family, commu-nity responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement, and was created as a way to reaffirm the African-American people, their ancestors and culture.

The celebration centers around seven principles called Nguzo Saba, which emphasize the unity of Black families. The seven principals include:

•Umoja (unity): To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

•Kujichagulia (self-determina-tion): To define, name, create, and speak for ourselves.

•Ujima (collective work and responsibility): To build and maintain the community, make our sisters’ and brothers’ prob-lems our problems, and solve them together.

•Ujamaa (cooperative eco-nomics): To build and maintain stores, shops and other busi-nesses together.

•Nia (purpose): To build our community and restore our people to their traditional great-ness.

• Kuumba (creativity): To leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

•Imani (faith): To believe in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and have faith in victory in our struggle.

Families celebrate Kwan-zaa by decorating their homes with African art and cloth, light the kinara -- a candelabra that symbolizes the continent of Af-rica and the roots of all African Americans -- and share libations and food.

While in the early years, ob-servers of Kwanzaa tended to avoid combining the holiday with other December celebra-tions, many African American families now celebrate Kwanzaa, Christmas and New Year’s.

The Jewish Encyclopedia cites a 12th-century Karaite document as the earliest Jewish literary source to mention this symbol.

Music and romance make for good holiday read

In The Perfect Love Song, Callahan Henry tells the story of Jimmy Sullivan, who has been living on the road with his brother, Jack, and their band The Unknown Souls. The road is Jimmy’s only home and mu-sic his only savior until he falls in love with a beautiful girl, Char-lotte Carrington. Spending time with Charlotte inspires Jimmy to write a love song for her, which becomes an overnight sensation and is dubbed “The Perfect Love Song.”

As Jimmy finds himself caught up in the desire for fame and for-tune, the genuine lyrics of the

song are overshadowed by his career ambitions. He begins to lose touch with Charlotte and makes a decision to miss his brother’s wedding in Ireland for a chance to put on a show in New York City.

But on Christmas Eve Jimmy comes to a crossroads: Will he fi-nally get the chance to perform on one of the biggest stages of his career?—or will he find his way back to his family, to Ire-land…and to the love of his life, Charlotte?

Patti Callahan Henry is the New York Times Bestselling author of six novels with Pen-guin/NAL. (Losing the Moon, Where the River Runs, When Light Breaks, Between the Tides, The Art of Keeping Secrets, and Driftwood Summer).

Patti is hailed as a fresh new voice in southern fiction. She has been short-listed for the Townsend Prize for Fiction and has been nominated for the Southeastern Independent Booksellers Fiction Novel of the

Year. She is a frequent speaker at luncheons, book clubs and wom-en’s groups where she discusses the importance of storytelling and anything else they want to talk about.

Patti grew up as a minister’s daughter, learning early how storytelling affects our lives. She grew up spending her summers on Cape Cod where she began her love affair with the beach, ocean, tides and nature of the coast. Moving south at the ten-der age of twelve, she found sol-ace in books and stories. While attending Auburn University, she met a southern boy who later proposed on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, next to a historic lighthouse overlook-ing the Sound. After earning her Master’s degree in Child Health, Patti worked as a Clinical Nurse Specialist until her first child was born. Patti is a full time writ-er, wife and mother living with her husband and three children outside Atlanta on the Chatta-hoochee River.

Dress your holiday table with delicious options

BY SULLY [email protected]

Whole grain products help family and friends to maintain focus on nutrition during the holidays. And when you don’t have to bake them yourself, you can save a lot of time and energy.

The smell of Great Harvest’s legend-ary holiday products are filling the air.

It’s the newest bakery in town and can be a life-saver for busy moms and work-ing professionals. It’s a great option for scratch-made whole-grain herb breads, rolls and seasonal desserts to adorn your Thanksgiving table and impress guests.

Hearty whole grains play an important role in balanced nutrition, and Jerry and Germain Ward, owners of Great Harvest, want to help people maintain a focus on healthy eating especially during the holi-days.

“We love this time of year because we’re providing beloved homemade products to people who simply do not have time to bake,” said Germaine Ward. The seasonal breads and sweets available this year in-clude Stuffing bread, Cranberry Orange bread, and made-from-scratch Pumpkin pies.

Free recipe cards for old-fashioned white bread stuffing and for apple sau-sage stuffing are available at the bakery. The former Butterball Turkey hotline lady and popular cookbook author Renee Fer-guson created these recipes using Great Harvest’s Oregon Herb bread. Ferguson’s entire cookbook is available at www.tur-keytools.com. In addition, Great Harvest has its own stuffing recipe featuring its Stuffing Bread.

“We’ve got customers covered for the day after Thanksgiving, too. Turkey sand-wiches made with our Cranberry Orange Bread is out-of-this-world delicious,” said Ward. “This year we’re recommend-ing pre-orders so everyone gets what they love. We’ll add a midnight baking shift if we need to.”

The Mt. Pleasant Great Harvest Bak-ery, located at 644 H-1 Long Point Rd. in Belle Hall Shopping Center, is known for its handcrafted breads made daily with freshly ground whole wheat from the high plains of Montana. Great Harvest purchases its whole wheat from family-owned farms. The neighborhood bakery creates an array of legendary fresh baked breads and sweets, as well as specialty items during holidays. Great Harvest mills its whole wheat daily. The fresh flour is used within two days to produce whole wheat breads which are rich in taste and nutrients.

And now that your bread servings are taken care of, don’t forget the main meal.

The Square Onion, now with two loca-tions, has everything you’ll need to feast at Thanksgiving or Christmas. From gra-vy to dessert, simply stop in, place your order and it will be ready for you the day

before your holiday celebration.The Square Onion has been in opera-

tion for eight years, beginning on Reso-lute Lane in I’On. They just opened their second retail location on Coleman Blvd.. because owners Mary and Cary Zapatka wanted to expand, but expand in their own backyard.

So if Grandmother makes a heck of a squash casserole, but her pie doesn’t past muster, call Square Onion.

They are taking orders for Thanksgiving up to Nov. 22. And if no one in your family is a great chef, or you just don’t have the time, you can order a full Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

That’s no joke. They’ll whip you up the works.

Menu includes turkey, sides and des-sert, as well as sauces and gravy.

In addition they offer a full catering menu for all of your holiday parties.

If you need something quick to-go, stop in Square Onion Too. Their small casse-roles serve three to six people and large casserole serves eight to 12 people.

For more information stop by or call ei-ther location: 18-B Resolute Lane - I’On (856-4246); 411 Coleman Blvd. (416-8684) Square Onion Too, or visit www.squareonion.com.

Keep Fido safe during the holidaysIn the spirit of the coming sea-

son, Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog training company, offers helpful holiday tips for dog owners on how to keep their dogs safe and happy during the holidays.

“In planning for this season’s holiday festivities, it is impor-tant to keep your pets in mind. While most of us welcome the sights, sounds and smells of the season, holidays can also be cha-otic - especially for dogs,” said James and Michelle Rodriguez, local owners and dog behavioral therapists, Bark Busters Home Dog Training.

“Holiday festivities can inter-rupt a dog’s routine and present a potentially unsafe situation. But by following a few common-sense tips, the holidays can be cheery for everyone, including the family dog.”

Foods can be harmful•Many holiday foods can be

harmful to canines, causing

symptoms as mild as an upset stomach or as severe as vomit-ing and diarrhea.

Avoid giving your dog fatty or spicy foods, bread dough, fresh herbs, alcohol beverages, caf-feine and sweets of all kinds - es-pecially those with chocolate or xylitol, an artificial sweetener.

•Particularly dangerous are cooked poultry bones. Cooked bones easily splinter, and the bone shards can cause choking, get stuck in your dog’s gums or possibly damage his intestines. Instead, treat your dog to “dog bones” specifically designed for him to chew. Ask your veterinar-ian for suggestions.

•Discourage your dog from for-aging in the garbage - secure lids on all trashcans.

•It’s natural that you’d want to share holiday treats with your dog. While a little taste of turkey or sweet potatoes can make your dog happy, don’t overdo it - too much of a good thing can make him sick.

Decorations

•Keep your pet away from hol-iday plants, many of which are poisonous, such as holly, mistle-toe, poinsettias and amaryllis (a type of lily). Also be sure all pot-pourri is out of your pet’s reach.

•Snow globes can contain an-tifreeze, which is toxic to dogs. Whether in the garage or in a snow globe, keep antifreeze products away from your hap-py, tail-wagging dog. If there is an antifreeze spill, keep your dog

out of the room while you clean up the liquid. Dilute the spot with water and floor cleaner to ensure your dog does not lick the area later.

•Keep electrical wires and bat-teries out of your pet’s reach. Chewing or biting anything electrical can cause him shock or burns.

•Don’t leave lighted candles unattended. A lit candle knocked over by a swinging tail can burn your pet or cause a fire.

Christmas trees •Anchor the tree to the ceiling

or wall to prevent it from tipping over.

•Hang non-breakable orna-ments near the bottom of the tree.

•Avoid putting tinsel on your tree. If ingested, tinsel can twist in your dog’s intestines and be deadly.

•Don’t let your dog drink the Christmas tree water. The water may contain preservative chem-

icals, which can trigger severeindigestion in dogs. Stagnantplain water can breed bacteriaand cause nausea or diarrhea tothe pet that imbibes.

Safe and relaxed•Most dogs get very excited

when guests arrive. To help yourdog be calmer, exercise him pri-or to the festivities. After 30 min-utes of walking or playtime, yourdog will more likely be relaxed orwant to nap.

•As a general rule, don’t allowthe family dog to greet unfamil-iar guests since unusual activi-ties and commotion can causehim extra stress.

•Give your dog a break fromthe hubbub by putting him in hiscrate or in a quiet room with hisdoggie bed. Allow him to rejointhe festivities after guests havearrived. To fetch a trainer call1-877-500-BARK (2275) or visitwww.BarkBusters.com, whereowners can complete a Dog Be-havioral Quiz.

Real safe! Real good You can now find new Ca-

jun Deep Fried™ Turkey at your local Food Lion, Bloom and other fine grocery stores! MH Foods, Inc., owner of Cajun Deep Fried™ Brand, the first and only authentic deep fried turkey product available in retail stores, has announced their expansion into the local area.

“We’re excited about ex-panding our customer base into new geographic ar-eas,” said Ferril Maddox, President of MH Foods, Inc. “Deep fried turkey has gained popularity all over the country over the past few years, but has proven to be costly and dangerous to pre-pare at home. Our Cajun Deep Fried™ turkeys offer a delicious and safe alternative to home frying.”

Deep frying turkey has its origins in the Southern United States (Louisiana and Texas), but was recently discovered by turkey lovers everywhere. Typical prepa-ration includes injecting a marinade into a whole, completely thawed turkey and frying the turkey in 375° peanut oil. You’ll need a fryer set-up, propane tank, injec-tor/marinade kit and five gallons of pea-nut oil, which can cost $200 or more.

If you opt to deep fry your own tur-key at home, don’t forget to add gloves, safety glasses and a fire extinguisher to your shopping list! Underwriters Labo-ratories, considered to be the standard in safety analysis, issued a report listing the hazards of turkey frying at home to con-sumers. “We’re worried by the increasing reports of fires related with turkey fryer use,” said John Drengenberg, consumer affairs manager at UL. “Based on our test findings, the fryers used to produce those great-tasting birds are not worth the risks. And, as a result of these tests, UL has de-

cided not to certify any turkey fryers with the trusted UL Mark.” Also, some “Home Owners” insurance policies exclude cov-erage for Deep Frying turkeys.

Cajun Deep Fried™ offers an outstand-ing, authentic alternative to home frying. Their moist and juicy deep fried products come pre-deep Fried, rubbed with a spe-cial blend of Cajun spices, wrapped in Red Foil and ready to heat and serve.. There is no messy preparation and no hazardous frying. Just look for the bright red foil package with the CDF logo in the frozen meat case of your local supermarket.

“We know you’re going to enjoy our Cajun Deep Fried™ turkeys, and would enjoy hearing from you whether you have a question about our products and just want to say hello,” says Maddox. “Drop us a line at our web site. We’d be happy to feature your favorite side dish recipes and serving ideas.”

Cajun Deep Fried™ offers the first and only authentic deep fried turkey to the re-tail meat market industry in the USA. For more information, visit www.CajunDeep-Fried.com.
