Brian T. Shirley Well, the elec on is over, our President has been chosen!! Some people are happy some are not. People can choose to accept the outcome and try to work together or not. We are and have been very divided in this country for a long me, perhaps since the incep on of this grand experiment. That's all I have to say on that; now on to more pressing issues, The HOLIDAYS!! I wish each and everyone of you the best of all possible Holiday Seasons this year!! No ma er how you celebrate or even if you don't, this is the me of year that people come together with friends and families. This is the perfect me to heal, take me to show our love and gra tude to each other. Also, as we should do each and every day, the season to show gra tude to our Creator. He is the reason for the season a er all. I also think we should try to reach out to our fellow human beings as well. Put differences of opinion aside and really get to know each other. When we communicate about things we can relate to, we find a deeper understanding of each other. We should remember the folks out there who are alone this season. I have never been married, so I don't have any children or wife to share the Holidays with. I know people will say that "You don't have to be married to have kids". well, I do. I don't say this for people to feel sorry for me, I say it because I can understand how depressing this me of the year can be for a lot of people. I'll be fine, I'll spend Thanksgiving with my family here in Chas., SC (Dad, Stepmom &

Eat a lot of Turkey, watch some football and laugh with those dearest to you. Finally, have a wonderful Christmas!! Thanks so much for reading our publica on and suppor ng "What's The Story?" on air. I love being a part of this talented group of people. Refresh, regroup, refocus and remember! Together, we can accomplish ANYTHING!! When we li each other up, we will rise as well ourselves!!

Mark Shaff For my family and me Christmas has always held a special place in our lives. My father was born on Christmas Eve and my brother, just 15 months younger than me, on Christmas day. As the oldest of eight, raised in a Catholic family, this link to the dates we celebrate as the days when Jesus’ mother sought shelter in manger and the day of her son’s birth somehow made me feel special. Like we were somehow closer to God. As a child all the way through my teenage years and into adulthood Christmas me was magical. Not because of Santa, or gi s, or nseled and lighted trees, but because of these shared dates of birth. My parents and grandparents made sure my brother and sisters and I saw beyond the commercial trappings. When I became a husband and then a father I spent me thinking about the why of this connec on. How could I pass this feeling, this sense of specialness on to my children? As with so many things that are passed from one genera on to another the transfer of knowledge, of tradi on, of family legacy is accomplished on one hand by story telling and on the other by example. The birth of Jesus marks a historical beginning. It denotes a me when mankind embarked on new path. The events have been interpreted by many faiths, and although the claims may vary, the importance is substan al. Jesus: Savior, Profit, Messiah, Man? No ma er the belief the message is the same.

A Christmas reminder It is the simple reminder that up un l the very moment of the end, every second of life is a beginning, a new start. So whether it is with a hello, or a smile, or the clang of coins dropped in a pot to the chime of a rigging bell, the first step of any beginning rests within each of us. Mark Shaff lives in Reno, Nevada with his wife and two teenage sons . He owns a hardwood floor company that specializes in the use of reclaimed and hand distressed ma erals. For many years he imported centuries old building materials, beams, wood planking, limestone and terra co a, primarly from Western Europe, for use in the high‐end U.S. housing market. As a voracious reader he, like many, would finish a novel only to say, “I could write that!” Well, that’s what he’s done. His first novel, Redemp on Road was released in 2013. His second novel, Force Ten: Doubling the Penny is scheduled for release in December, 2016. You can reach him at www.markshaff.com.

Virginia Butters The inven on of Shiny Brite Christmas ornaments was a result of World War II. Christmas trees adorned with sparkling glass balls were popular with Americans. Germany and Japan were the major importer of glass ornaments in the 1930's. American businessman Max Eckart had been impor ng Christmas tree ornaments into the U.S. from Germany since 1907. World War I took a major toll on his opera ons, and although he was able to recover, the dawning of World War II made him realize his business would soon be in trouble again. His plan to handle the hardship was brilliant. Glassblowers from many European countries famed for making high‐quality ornaments were in the employ of Corning Glass. Corning held the patent for a type of glassblowing machine used in the manufacture of light bulbs. The "ribbon" glassblowing machine could easily produce an astounding 2,000 bulbs in one minute. With a few altera ons, this contrap on would could produce glass Christmas tree ornaments instead of lightbulbs. Eckardt saw it's poten al at once. In a year, the company began tests using Christmas ornament forms in various shapes and sizes. Soon a er, the U.S.'s main purveyor of ornaments from abroad, Woolworth's, asked that Corning produce over 230,000 glass holiday items for sale in their stores. Woolworth's was also aware that war was inevitable and would have an impact on the availablity of glass ornaments, and so were looking for a source within the U.S. In 1939, they began selling the new, American‐made ornaments.

Shiny Brite ornaments: The history of a holiday classic

By 1940, Corning Glass was producing nearly 300,000 decora ons daily, and shipping them to retail stores na onwide. Of all their buyers, Corning sold the most to Max Eckhardt's Shiny Brite. He made Shiny Brite Christmas balls and decora ons throughout the war. Shiny Brite had innova ve solu ons to problems brought on by ra oning. When metal paints and varnish were unavailable, he began banding balls with slim lines in light shades. Glimmering tops made from various metals were replaced by folded hangers made from cardboard and glued in place. Shiny Brite was the leading maker of glass Christmas decora ons by the end of the war. They began making ornaments decorated with vibrant hues, which reflected the vivacity of the post‐war era. The tradi onal metal tops were once again used, this me bearing a proud stamp declaring that Shiny Brite ornaments were U.S.‐made. The Con nued on page 9

Richard G. Pugh When I was eleven or twelve, my father decided at Christmas eve, and at the last possible moment, to visit his Mother and Dad who lived in Greensboro, NC about 200 miles away from Charleston, S.C. It would have been something like a five hour drive, but my dad had just bought a new Bri sh Sports car, an MGTD, and it had been recommended not to drive it over 55 mph during its break‐end period. It was tough. My brother, Jim, was a bit bigger than me and combine that with luggage for an overnight stay, and Christmas packages… the interior was ght. I brought along a cushion to so en the hand brake I was si ng on for the long and slow drive north and while excited about the trip I dreaded si ng like that going and coming back. Grandma and grandpa were, not wealthy, in fact they were poor. They shared part of a large house on a ranch and grandpa would take care of the owner’s livestock to offset the modest rent. We arrived about four on Christmas Eve and a er hugs and gree ngs we relaxed in the huge kitchen by the wood fired cook stove and got caught up on my

On one previous visit there was only an outhouse at some distance from the house and I remembered having gone out there in the dark with only a flashlight and some toilet paper vowing never to have to do that again but being reminded by Dad on the way home that he had grown up using an outhouse and never gave it much thought. Breakfast was outstanding. My grandmother made eggs and bacon, pancakes with real maple syrup and bu er, grits, and strong coffee. I had begun drinking coffee Con nued on page 9

Jacci Terri Turner The holiday season can be difficult a er the loss of a loved one. A er my mother died I asked my friends on Facebook how to survive the holidays.

Crowd Sourced Wisdom about How to Survive the Holidays a er a Loss Robert: I found this book, Traveling Through Grief: Learning to love again a er the death of a loved one, incredibly helpful a er my Mum died. I did some of the exercises it recommended (wrote her a le er, made up a memory book) Brooke: You do whatever feels right to you. If it feels right to make her favorite cookies say... Do it. If it doesn't feel right to do it without her... yet, don't. Cry whenever it hits you, and hard... sob if you want to, it's healthy. There are no rules for grieving through a holiday ‐ just be there for yourself like you would a friend. Leanna: Wish I had some magic advice to give. I lost my mom shortly before Christmas four years ago‐‐‐very rough. Luckily I have a ght‐knit family which I believe helped give us all some added strength during the holidays. Together, we got through it. Peggy: My en re family have passed on except for my children and their families. I lost my hubby when I was 39.

Crowd-sourced wisdom candle for them before Mass has certainly helped me remember their goodness and ask them to pray for me. Julie: Tell funny stories so that family will remember her with a smile and not tears. Nancy: I visited the town I grew up in and met with some high school friends from years past. It helped me feel closer to her. Angela: It's tough to do. I find if I keep busy I don't think of my dad as o en and I just remember the good memories we shared on Christmas. It’s been almost five years and I s ll find it tough. Draw close to those you love and good friends and family helps too! Bill: Feel the feelings and go ahead and have a good cry when you need to, later you can cry then laugh and cry again. Rebecca: My first Christmas also without my mom and dad. Feelings are all over the place. Looking at it but must admit escaping to Kansas to be with kids and grands. Entering their chaos this Christmas will help. Julie: Write her a love le er full of memories and promises that you will see her again and how wonderful that will be! Christy: I found spending me with the li le ones in the family really makes it easier. New fresh spirits brighten the day. Tammy: My grief book encouraged those who have loss to actually put themselves in situa ons and places that cause grief and mourning, or trigger it.

Mitch Smith, PT, DPT, CWC Staying well around the holidays Holidays should be a me of joy and relaxa on, not stress and fa gue. Yet we are o en feeling more of the la er this me of year. Here are 10 simple ps to keep yourself healthy around the holidays so you can enjoy this special me of year: Pace Yourself. Things don’t have to be perfect. Slow down to enjoy the moment o en. If you are prone to suffer from pain or fa gue, remember that more frequent smaller bursts of ac vi es are be er than doing everything at once and then crashing for 2 days. Prep Your Immune System. It seems people are always ge ng sick in large holiday gatherings. Yes, hand washing and other sanita on can help. However, you can be prepping your immune system for these germ‐filled situa ons all year long. This is another reason to be ea ng healthy, avoiding harmful substances, taking supplements if needed, and exercising habitually. Sleeping Is the Best Medicine. Ge ng adequate and quality sleep is maybe the best thing you can do to avoid ge ng sick. It is vital to fight off any bugs and o en neglected around the holiday season. Set Clear Limits. It is much easier to moderate in advance than in the moment. Tell yourself or

someone else what your por on, sweets, or alcohol limits are beforehand. Freeze le over treats a er your gatherings to avoid the convenient tempta on later. Don’t Feel Guilty. If you break your limit or diet around the holidays, don’t let it get you down. Remember that having quality rela onships with yourself and others is even be er for your health than spinach or broccoli. Stay Ac ve. Holidays should be relaxing, but not sedentary. Incorporate ac ve me with family and friends including hiking, sports, or service. Don’t Break Good Habits. Vaca ons and holidays are notorious for breaking our good habits. The hardest part of forming good habits is star ng. So try to avoid stopping in the first place. Although your me is spent elsewhere this me of year, keep your good habits in place by con nuing them at their normal mes for shorter s nts. Doing just 10 pushups in place of your usual Yoga class is be er than saying, “Oh, I’ll get back to it a er I return.” Break Conten on. My wife has 4 sisters and when they all get together, claws can come out. We have code words I can say to remind her to calm her mood or lessen her tone if she gets conten ous.

Be Truly Grateful. Being mindful of the ways you are blessed is great for our well being. Don’t limit gra tude to one me at the table on Thanksgiving, but it should be a part of the whole holiday season. Don’t Overspend. Finances are maybe the most common life stressor. Don’t break your budget around the holidays. Remember the more important memories are not things, but quality me spent with and serving others. Happy Holidays!
