Let us know which Christmas song you don't want to hear again.
- HOLIDAY GUIDE

Wednesday, December 21, 2011
It happens every year. Christmas music starts cropping up around Thanksgiving and for a week or two we tolerate it -- and many of us actually like it. Then, we move closer to Christmas and each note of an Andy Williams or Mitch Miller song makes our blood pressure rise. There's only so much mirth one person can take! Then there's the sappy song like Wham's tune or the corny songs from legends like The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, Eartha Kitt or Dean Martin. And then, there's Feliz Navidad, 12 Days of Christmas and no list of painful Christmas music is complete without Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. So, we want to know -- which Christmas song are you most tired of? If we don't have your choice in the poll, let us know in the comment …

Make your own Christmas tree out of sugar cookies.
Going to a holiday party this year and tired of bringing the same desserts? Instead of cake or pie, bring your own sugar cookie Christmas tree. What you'll need: 1. Preheat your oven according to the directions on the sugar cookie dough package. 2. Use the star shaped cookie cutters to cut out different sized sugar cookies. You should have three large stars, three medium stars and three small stars for each tree you plan to make. 3. Bake the star shaped cookies and let them cool. 4. Once the cookies are cool, place one large star on a plate. 5. Put a small amount of frosting on the top of the star in the center. Place another large star on top, so the points of the star do not line up. 6. Repeat step number five with the last large star, …
Fabulous Fakes Boutique is hidden away in Laschi Hairstylists & Day Spa.
Tucked away inside Laschi Hairstylists & Day Spa on Main Street in Reading is a great boutique worth traveling over the border for. Fabulous Fakes Boutique carries jewelry, handbags and accessories with affordable prices. Owner Lea Laschi opened the boutique about four years ago. “I don’t have knock-offs, I do all fashion handbags,” Laschi said. “I got the name from the rings, cubic zirconia rings I have and the costume jewelry rings I have. They look real.” Laschi wore the rings she sells while traveling and received numerous comments from others who thought they were real diamonds. The boutique has much more than rings. They stock scarves, watches, sunglasses, hats, jewelry, pins, handbags, clutches and more. The styles are unique and …
