Hygge is the very core of what I love about the holidays. I cherish the time spent with my mom baking cookies in preparation for sharing …and eating... them every December. The cookie I loved most (still do) is a recipe my grandmother’s family brought with them from Denmark when they immigrated to the United States in 1911. The photos at left are my mom and me sharing our family story for a Better Homes & Gardens Christmas Cookies magazine 20 years ago. Here’s my fave recipe (at right)—hope you like it as much as I do. Allrecipes.com is celebrating December and the website’s 20th birthday with its top 20 most cherished holiday cookies. Go to armagazine.com/topholiday-cookies to get the recipes. And for all you cookie fanatics—myself included—you can sign…

Time for a Trim! For each tree, weave a sour candy belt onto a wooden skewer. (You can use fruit leather as a healthier alternative. We like the rainbow look of Airheads Xtremes.) Start with wide loops at the bottom that progressively narrow toward the top to create a triangular shape. Poke the bottom end of the skewer into a jumbo marshmallow as the base, using white frosting to secure if necessary. Use sugar for a sparkly, snowy landscape. For added decoration, use frosting to stick Red Hots or candy buttons onto the trees as ornaments or a candy star on top. Set your wintry scene on a rimmed baking sheet for easy cleanup.…

1 PACK PLENTY OF SNACKS If you’re traveling over a mealtime, pack a lunch for everyone or plan a stop around that time. Otherwise, for a six-hour trip, prep two rounds of healthy snacks (dried fruit, pretzels, cheese sticks, nuts, cut-up veggies, or fresh fruit) and water bottles, and offer the perishable items at the first snack time. In addition, you’ll want a fun snack (hooray, mini Oreos!), plus one last-ditch emergency treat (a baggie of Dum Dums just might save the day). 2 PLAN FOR PIT STOPS (OR NAPS) If the kids have never taken road trips that require more than an hour and a half in the car, expect to make at least one stop every three hours. If your family regularly takes long-distance trips, however, you can…

EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT, HYGGE (HOO-GA) IS SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL: a sense of coziness and contentment. The word stems from an old Norwegian term for “well-being,” has ties to the Norse name for “hug,” and signifies everything both imply: warmth, comfort, and the simple joy of connecting. It’s part of the culture in many countries across Scandinavia and a way of life for the Danish, who routinely rank among the happiest people on earth. Wherever you live, it’s a good descriptor for hearty, come-in-from-the-cold winter foods and that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when friends and family come home for the holidays.

For centuries, the pomegranate has been a symbol of fertility, longevity, and wealth, prized for its potent health and beauty benefits. Its tiny seeds beat blueberries, red wine, and green tea for antioxidant content. Pomegranates also contain ellagic acid, an anti-inflammatory phytochemical that blocks part of the wrinkle-formation process, preserving collagen and your youthful complexion. Of course, tearing through the fruit’s leathery exterior and white pith to reach the roughly 800 juicy gems inside can be a test of patience. But pomegranate seeds, called arils, offer beauty benefits well worth the effort. They contain phytochemical-packed juice, antioxidantrich seed oil (often used in top-notch skin-care oils), and good-for-you fiber. Pure, unsweetened pomegranate juice can be a good quick option, too. It delivers a healthy dose of potassium, has antiviral properties, and…
