Caroling, Caroling,

Now We Go... Music fills the heart and soul during the

Christmas season. But did you know the

holiday songs that were first sung in Europe

thousands of years ago were not carols, they

were pagan tunes sung at Winter Solstice

celebrations, where folks danced round stone

circles. The word “carol” actually means to dance or song of praise.

The earliest known Christmas carol was written in the 1400s, describing

Mary and Joseph meeting different people in Bethlehem. Most carols from

Elizabethan times were loosely based on the Christmas story and were considered

home entertainment rather than religious staples. Traveling minstrels started singing

songs like I Saw Three Ships for local amusement. The fun spread quickly!

Over time, orchestras and choirs formed in English cities where the demand

for seasonal music was trendy. During the Victorian period, new carols such as

Good King Wenceslas were introduced. Soon carol services and singing in the

streets became fashionable, including “carols by candlelight” which migrated to

worship services and churches.

Although Christmas carols today carry cozy connotations of ancient

traditions, caroling as we know it only dates back to the early 19th century when

neighbors visited house to house bringing holiday wishes and good cheer.

SONGS OF THE SEASON Silent Night, crafted about 1815 by Germans Joseph Mohr (lyrics) and Franz

Gruber (music) is the most recorded Christmas song in the modern era. It’s

copyrighted recordings nearly double that of second place carol, Joy to the World.

In a survey of American radio listeners, here are the top Christmas carols:

White Christmas / Bing Crosby (1942)

The Christmas Song / Nat King Cole (1946)

A Holly Jolly Christmas / Burl Ives (1965)

Other favorites:

Adult contemporary - Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree / Brenda Lee

Top 40 - Jingle Bell Rock / Bobby Helms

Hip-hop - Santa Claus is Coming to Town / The Jackson 5

Country - Let it Be Christmas / Alan Jackson

We have a beautiful new fence out front. Not only does it help to beautify our front lawn, it provides additional protection for our residents, staff and guests. The guard shack is soon to come. I hope you will get in on the 12-week Tai Chi classes. I’m hearing great things from our residents. If you do not know if this is the class for you, visit with Katti, our wellness director. She can assist you in picking the right class to meet your needs. The University Village Foundation donated to the John 3:16 Mission. As the weather gets colder, the need becomes greater to help the homeless in Tulsa. If you are a WWII veteran that might be interested in participating in an interview that will be conducted by a representative from the WWII Museum, please contact me. We’ll hold an informational meeting here that might help you decide if you want to participate. Walgreens has a contract with Tricare to provide medications to Veterans and spouses of Veterans that are utilizing the Tricare insurance. Walgreens also delivers medications to University Village five days each week. If you are interested in more information about these services, you can contact Kristina Steagall at 918-481-0666. The Christmas Train is back. We are very grateful to the volunteers with the Oklahoma Village Collectors Club. It takes several hours to set up the train display, but they truly enjoy doing it every year for us. We are adding a second door on the entrance/exit that goes from the Northeast Lounge (where the billiard table is located) to parking lot #3. This will provide some protection from the cold winter winds, snow and leaves. This pro-ject will start sometime in December. Chaplain Merle is moving to lounge 217 (directly above the UV Library). Maintenance has already started working on remodeling that room for him. We will then utilize the upstairs circle lounge office space to store two of the assisted living medication carts. Chaplain Merle started a Grief Group on November 30th. It’s not too late for you to join their group. They meet on Wednesdays at 1pm in the chapel. This is a 4-week program. If you have an opportunity, we encourage you to give to Toys for Tots. UV annually participates in the program that allows less fortunate children to receive presents at Christmas. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and drop it off in one of the boxes located in the Circle Lounge, Business Office, by the front reception or by the Assisted Living office. Gabriel told Mary “You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” Thank God for Mary’s obedience and the gift of God’s Son who came to save the world. I pray that you have a blessed Christmas and remember the true Reason for the Season. Thank you for allowing us to serve you, Vanessa Neal, Executive Director 3652

Dec 2 @ Noon Stovall Theater

NATIONAL EGG NOG DAY ♦ December 24 Do you know your nog? Well, celebrate! Because today is Egg Nog Day and the timing couldn’t be better. This holiday beverage appears on store shelves just before Thanksgiving, then disappears completely after New Year’s Day. Consumption peaks on Christ-mas Eve - hey, that’s December 24, nog’s national day, of course! Now, there are a few theories on how egg nog got its name. One story claims it was called “egg ‘n grog” which got shortened to egg nog. According to others, the name comes from the Old English word for strong ale or “nog,” so this drink combines eggs and alcohol, usually rum. Regardless of how it was named, it’s been a favorite drink for centuries. No one seems to know who created National Egg Nog day, but nog lovers are ecstatic this day exists. Perhaps, our fine national leaders celebrated a wee bit too much with nog when they signed the holiday proclamation. So bottoms up, toast to the season and fill your day with egg nog! (Burp)

DO YOU KNOW ...

Dave and Cecelia Basarich

Dave and Cecelia (and their toy Yorkies “Shep” and “Sassy”) moved to our University Village cottage neighborhood this past summer. They are loving life here and spread their enthusiasm everywhere they go. Cecelia says that they moved to UV in order to maintain an active lifestyle and they participate in most of the activities offered. (Yes, they really do!) If something is going on, that is where you will find them! Dave and Cecelia were married on Valentine’s Day, 1981. They each have two children, with 12 grandkids and 2 great-grandkids between them. Before moving back to the Tulsa area in 2006, they lived in Florida for 12 years. Dave is a veteran from the Vietnam War. He was an avid pool player and participated in competitive pool tournaments. He also loves golf and has enjoyed the golf outings here at University Village. He and Cecelia also spent many years square dancing together. Who knew? In addition to staying physically fit, Cecelia loves to do embroidery, make wreaths, and many other craft items. She has an entire room in their cottage just for her crafts. Something you may not know is that the Basarich’s owned a pool hall. They ran the “Study Hall”, as they called it, for three years in Claremore. It was a place for kids and families to come for something to do. Teens would come after school to play some 8-Ball and get some “cues” from Dave. But they did have some rules! (no alcohol, no cussing) Nevertheless, place was full, 365 days a year! Dave and Cecelia still remain in contact with some of those kids, now adults, to this day due to the positive impact that the couple had on their young lives. So, if you have not met the Basarichs, you soon will. They know no strangers and offer encouragement and friendship to everyone they meet.

FUN

It is a well-established fact that exercise is linked to an overall sense of well-being with clear physical and mental benefits. One particular form of exercise that can be adapted for all ability levels is dance. For older adults, dancing can help prevent the loss of muscle strength and bone density. These effects combined with improvements in balance reduce the risk of falls. Best of all ... it’s FUN!

INTRODUCING THE CHA CHA SLIDE The "Cha Cha Slide" is a song by American artist DJ Casper, often played at dance clubs, school dances/proms, parties, ice and roller skating rinks, bar mitzvahs and weddings in the United States ... and this month, right here at University Village! It’s a dance craze with health benefits. Join the wellnes party! ► improve condition of your heart and lungs ► increase muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness ► increase aerobic fitness ► improve muscle tone and strength ► weight management ► strengthen bones and reduce risk of osteoporosis

One of the reasons we love the holidays is the food! For many people living with high blood pressure, heart failure and other chronic conditions, managing sodium in the foods they eat is a year-round exercise. The holidays can pose a daunting challenge to those trying to keep their salt intake to a healthy minimum. Advice from Tarah Hoffmann, a registered dietitian at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, Ill.

Tips to help reduce salt intake in a typical holiday meal: Plan ahead with your ham – Many people think there’s nothing better

than a holiday ham on the table. But, ham is definitely on the watch list for those on a low sodium diet. To lower the salt content in the ham at your table, Hoffmann suggests soaking the ham overnight in cold water before cooking. This soaking draws salt out of the ham and frequent water changes can reduce sodium significantly, she says. But, Hoffmann warns that even reduced-sodium ham can still feature relatively high salt levels that should be avoided by those who are under tight restrictions.

Go homemade with your sides – The sodium content in side dishes such as stuffing, mashed potatoes and many

casseroles is most easily controlled by making them yourself, from scratch, Hoffman says. Potatoes and most bread used for stuffing aren’t naturally salty, but traditional holiday preparations of these ingredients can pump up sodium content to risky levels. And, pre-packaged, pre-prepared versions of these sides can pack a very unhealthy sodium punch. Hoffman recommends cooking with unsalted butter, to avoid any “hidden” sodium, as well as replacing some salt with parsley and other herbs, or finding a tasty salt substitute.

Study those spices – Many cooks spruce up their dishes with spice blends, but Hoffmann points out that salt is often

a significant ingredient of many combination spices, including the “poultry seasoning” cooks use to dress up their holiday birds. She recommends checking labels carefully before using these products to see how much salt they’re adding. And, she adds, cooks can also substitute onion, garlic and other herbs for salt in many recipes.

Guarded with gravy – Hoffman says that many pre-made gravy varieties now have low-sodium versions that you can use to cut some salt. But, she says that if you do make your own gravy, make sure to use low-salt broth or soup as the base. And, she adds that herbs and spices can come to the rescue again in gravy, with pepper, garlic, onion and chives being some of her personal choices.

December Fitness Calendar

December 21 is a

PUZZLING DAY!

Crossword puzzles are said to be the most popular word game in the world, yet have a short history. Crosswords appeared in England during the 19th century. The first known published crossword puzzle was created by a journalist

named Arthur Wynne from Liverpool. He is credited as the inventor of the popular word game. On December 21, 1913 his cross-word appeared in Sunday newspaper, The New York World. Wynne's puzzle differs from today's crosswords in that it was diamond shaped and contained no internal black squares. During the early 1920's other newspapers picked up the newly discovered pastime and within a decade crossword puzzles were featured in almost all American newspapers.

Don’t be puzzled ... Try your skill at the mind-bending game to your right.

It’s Wynne’s ORIGINAL.
