‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
On Christmas Eve at 6:30 p.m., come to the fireplace in the Lounge dressed in
your favorite Christmas pajamas. We shall sing carols, have eggnog and share
stories about past Christmases. After sharing time, the movie “Miracle on 34th
Street” will be shown in the Theatre.
Tree Trimming Party
On Dec. 2 at 3:30 p.m., all residents are invited to bring one ornament to place on the
Christmas tree in the Lounge. Make sure to have your name on the ornament so that you
get it back. Residents are encouraged to share where the ornament came from and why
you chose that specific ornament.
Hoppin’ John
Chef Jeff said you’d better eat your black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. This
American tradition dates back to the Civil War, when crops in the South were
being destroyed by opposing soldiers. Black-eyed peas were considered livestock
feed and left unharmed by the troops. To celebrate an upcoming year full of luck
and prosperity, Hoppin’ John, a dish made from black-eyed peas and ham hock, is
traditionally eaten in Southern states on New Year’s Day. For extra good fortune,
Chef Jeff will be pairing it with cornbread, which is said to represent gold.

Choosing the Right
Resolution
The end of the year is near, and with it comes the perfect
opportunity to score a positive change or two — by making
a New Year’s resolution. It can be fun and rewarding to set a
goal for the next 12 months, especially if you keep some of
these tips in mind:
Put the “new” in “Happy New Year” — Experts say setting
the same goals year after year is a mistake. Something fresh
and exciting, such as deciding to try a new art class, will
motivate you more than a familiar resolution you’ve failed
to keep.
Fine-tune your focus — Some people create a long list of
ways they want to improve in the new year, then quickly
become overwhelmed and burn out. Pick one main goal,
and be specific — instead of saying “exercise more” or “eat
healthier,” say “walk for 30 minutes each day” or “eat a serving
of vegetables at every meal.”
Ask for help — Friends and relatives can support you and
keep you accountable if you share your goals with them, and
they may even ask you to return the favor. Consider setting
a resolution with others that will be fun to keep, such as
planning a special outing or get-together once a month.
Be realistic — Don’t choose a lofty goal that you’re unlikely
to accomplish. Everybody has limitations, whether related
to health, finances, time or something else. Recognizing
what they are and finding ways to work around them will
prove more beneficial than pushing yourself too hard and
fizzling out.
Honoring Pearl Harbor
Every year on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance
Day pays tribute to those killed in the 1941
Japanese air attack on the U.S. naval base in Hawaii.
Since its completion in 1962, the USS Arizona
Memorial in Pearl Harbor serves as a physical
reminder of that infamous day.
The white, curved structure, which sits over the
remains of the sunken USS Arizona battleship,
is accessible by boat from the Pearl Harbor
Visitor Center.
The memorial contains three areas. The entry
room holds the flags of the nine states represented
by battleships at Pearl Harbor during the attack.
The assembly room is an open area often used
for ceremonies and offers a close look at the USS
Arizona’s remains in the water. The shrine room
contains a marble wall engraved with the names of
the 1,177 crewmen killed.
The USS Arizona Memorial receives an average of
4,500 visitors per day and 1.5 million visitors a year.
Good and
Good for You
You don’t need to feel guilty if you have a
sweet tooth or enjoy a jolt of caffeine in the
morning. Some treats, in moderation, are
actually good for you.
Dark chocolate: This sweet indulgence is
rich in antioxidants and can help regulate
levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
The flavanol in dark chocolate reduces
inflammation. Cocoa can also lower
blood pressure.
Pistachios: This tasty nut contains
more than 30 vitamins, minerals and
phytonutrients, including lutein and
zeaxanthin. These two antioxidants are
associated with a reduced risk of agerelated macular degeneration. As a bonus,
pistachios are one of the nuts lowest in fat
and calories.
Coffee: Go ahead and reach for your
morning brew. Drinking coffee on a regular
basis can reduce the risk of Parkinson’s
disease, diabetes, liver disease, headaches
and colon cancer. It can also improve your
memory and reduce stress. This beverage is
a good source of antioxidants, too.
