Each year as the months grow old, FortCampbell salutes the waning days of fall. Wetrade crimson leaves for poinsettias, celebrateembers winking in the fireplace, and taste thetang of cherry pie. There is true magic in theChristmas season. The holidays are a kind of fairytale, one we anticipate, even long for, each coming December; a time of giving, sincerity, andof course, visits from Saint Nick!

Since I was a young girl, I could recallholiday gatherings in my Family’s small, ruraltown. Our home was near the woods and resembled something seen on a postcard, covered in snow. On Christmas Eve, my parents,brother, and I would attend a candle light service. By Christmas morning, more than adozen relatives had arrived to enjoy our personalwinter wonderland. Grandmother insisted onhaving her special cranberry salad, while mymother turned every inch of counter space intothe “Cookie Factory”, which yielded almost two hundred decorated morsels.

Welcoming my husband Jordan intoour holiday tradition was a joy, but celebratingthe holidays as a military Family was an adjustment. Our first Christmas leave, we frequented airports to reach each branch of relatives. It was a blur of tinsel and hugs as wehopped from town to city, all in a month’s time.This included Toronto, but not without specialpermission of course. Grandmother’s famouscranberry salad graced our dinner table, but therewas no candle light service with my in-laws.

Instead, we cozied up for “A Christmas Story”with Jordan’s parents and siblings and placed amassive order for Chinese food, a custom of theirown. Christmastime felt different as a Soldier andArmy wife, but the magic was there. New traditions can be good!

It is no secret that military Families facecertain obstacles during the holidays. This is truewhether you are away from a Spouse or your entire Family. I remember my husband explainingthat his deployment would last through our firstChristmas, and the news was abysmal. As luckwould have it, the tour was cancelled weeks laterand we enjoyed the holidays together. Yet, theprospect of separation readied me to support mySoldier. Also, my eyes were opened to the magnitude our post caters to its military citizens.

Always remember, Soldiers are missingloved ones just as much as they are missed. OneSoldier commented, “We get busy and do a lot,but the holidays overseas can be rough on us.”We at home need to swell our hearts with support! Make a special video from your Family or belt some country Christmas tuneswhile assembling care packages with extra seasonal flair‒ send them early to ensure a timelyarrival. Also, consider speaking to the Rear Detachment. They keep in touch with deployedtroops and can offer suggestions on what to sendto your loved one.

For those staying at Fort Campbell,don’t worry, there are countless ways to ignite your holiday spirit! An important rule of

thumb isto embrace the community and a positive mindset. Christmas is a bustling andbeautiful time, but we are prone to stress, especially apart from a loved one or Family members. One holly jolly idea is to celebrate withothers. Attend a Christmas Dinner, courtesy ofthe Armed Services YMCA. Keep an eye out forholiday magic, such as the Winter Wonderland,visiting Santa Claus and his reindeer, ice skating atDestiny Park, and other activities on the MWRwebsite. Perhaps the most iconic and illustriousevent is the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony taking place on December 5. Hundreds of people

gather to carol in the season and spenda festive evening with the Fort Campbell community. An attendeecalled the ceremony “beyond magical”because “everyone present felt like onehuge Family.”

Whether you are with a lovedone, with Family, or without, Fort Campbell offers many activities to keepeveryone active, happy, and involved.Reaching out to the community is a fantastic way to ease emotional or holiday stress. Many people are confronting the same challenges, andcomrades will always lessen the strain.Whether this holiday brings you cranberry salad or Chinese takeout, takea bite and look for a silver lining tounderthe mistletoe. Let the Christmas spiritmotivate you! And a bit of Army wifeadvice - keep that mistletoe‒ it willcome in handy sooner than you think!

EntertainingBe a Responsible Party HostIt’s the holidays and you want to throw a

party. That’s okay – just be a responsible host! Re-sponsible hosts know that part of holding a great partyincludes making sure their guests don’t turn into “ThatGuy” and everyone gets home safely.

Be Prepared

• Provide plenty of food to keep your guests from drinking on an empty stomach.

• Avoid too many salty snacks, which tend to make people thirsty and drink more.

• Confirm that groups have at least one person prepared to be the non-drinking designateddriver.

• Offer non-alcoholic beverages for non-drinking designated drivers and others who prefer not to drink alcohol.

• Plan activities (not drinking games). Planned activities engage people and make for a slower consumption of alcohol.

• Be prepared by having the number of a taxi service on hand for those who need a ride.

• Be ready to turn your sofa into a bed for guests who need to sleep it off.

During the Party

• Never serve alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age.

• Don’t let guests mix their own drinks.

• Do not push drinks. Drinking is not mandatory for having a good time.

• Remember that beer and wine are just as intoxicating as hard liquor.

• Don’t rely on someone’s physical appearance to determine if he or she has had too much to drink.

• Stay within your limits in order to make sure your guests stay within theirs.

• Close the bar 90 minutes before the party ends and serve a dessert treat with coffee.

• Don’t rely on coffee to sober up your guests. Only time can make someone sober.

If you’re wondering what food you canserve - that’s easy and not too expensive – just do aninternet search. I found dozens of websites that offered ideas and recipes.

Remember – your role as a responsibleparty host can keep your friends and Family safe!

Tempo

So you have concert memorabiliaand you don’t know what to do with it.Maybe you have a t-shirt that does not fit quite right? Or you have old CDs that you don’t listen to anymore? Or you have a bunch of ticket stubs that you wantto organize?

As an avid concertgoer, I havefaced this obstacle before. I had an oldshoebox underneath my bed with all myconcert photos, ticket stubs, patches, pinsand other souvenirs inside. I also shovedmy old concert t-shirts in my dresser andnever wore them. This is because the shirtdidn’t fit, it didn’t go with my personalstyle or I was not into the band anymore.So what was I supposed to do? Throw allthese items away? I personally like holding onto these items to rememberwho I am and why music is important tome. Luckily, with my crafter’s intuition, I found ways to uniquely preserve my concert memorabilia:

Ticket Stubs, Photos and Other Paper Items

Call me a music hoarder, but I love collecting ticket stubs, photos, flyers, posters, stickers and other

collectibles from con-certs. A few years ago, I decided to take thoseitems out of the shoebox and put themin scrapbooks (I amcurrently working onvolume 3). Scrap-booking is so muchfun! While somecan argue thatscrapbooking is an expensive hobby, I beg to differ. I take amore “cost-effective” approachand truly find “scraps” around my houseto embellish my books. I also learned thatmany craft stores offer sales and put items on clearance, which helps maximize your scrapbooking budget.Also, scrapbooking is great group hobby.Local scrapbookers tend to host “swapand crop” parties which are good way tomeet, share tools and trade items with fellow scrapbookers.

There are other ways to displaythese items if you do not have the time ormaterials to invest in scrapbooking. Youcan make a collage or insert your items on

a memory board. If you are looking for a simpler alternative, you can purchase aticket stub organizer from online retailerslike Amazon.com. Similar to a photoalbum, these books have individual slitsperfect for ticket stubs. Some books evenhave extra space so you can journal your concert memories.

T-ShirtsT-shirts are a popular item to

purchase at concerts. As a girl, I am sometimes disappointed when I can onlybuy unisex t-shirts. Ladies, is it me or are

What to Do with YourConcert Memorabilia?

unisex shirts just unflattering to the feminine figure? As I mentioned before,sometimes we physically or mentally outgrow our shirts. These shirts might endup becoming new gym attire or household cleaning rags. However, asmuch as I spend on these shirts, I wouldrather repurpose them in a different way.The most obvious and easiest choice is toperform t-shirt surgery. If you search “t-shirt surgery” online, you will find manytutorials on how to reconstruct t-shirts to flatter your shape. You can also reconstruct a t-shirt to make a scarf, purse,grocery bag or pillowcase, just to name afew ideas. There are both sewing andnon-sewing options. While scissors, amarker and measuring tape are must foralmost any surgery, you don’t necessarilyneed a sewing machine to reconstruct a t-shirt.

Some of my favorite t-shirt projects are the t-shirt quilt and t-shirt can-vas. The t-shirt quilt is such a unique andwonderful idea to preserve your old

t-shirts. Since it is alarge endeavor, I wouldnot recommend thisproject to those inex-perienced with using asewing machine. In-stead, I advise them toeither find a sewingsavvy friend or Familymember to help withthis project or considerpaying a seamstress tomake the quilt. The t-shirt canvas, on theother hand, is a muchsimpler project. All youneed is a t-shirt, a canvas (which you canpurchase at any craftstore) and a hot glue

gun. You position the t-shirt on the canvas’ front side, cut the excess materialfrom the back and glue the t-shirt neatlyon the canvas’ back side. It is that simple!This is a great way to preserve a t-shirt andmake beautiful wall art.

Old CDsAs popular and innovative the

compact disc (CD) was, they are becoming less and less prominent. Nowadays, most people listen to musicthrough mobile devices like mp3 playersor smart phones. Before you start throwing your entire CD collection away,you can repurpose your CDs. The CD’s circular shape and flat surface make it easyfor crafters to get creative and decoratetheir old CDs. For example, you can makecoasters, holiday ornaments, a jewelryholder or clock from a CD. You can evencut a CD into pieces and create mosaicart. Likewise, CD cases are very versatilefor crafting. You can reuse a CD case andmake a picture frame,

custom makeup palette or greeting card,just to a name a few ideas. It is easy to doa custom project with CDs and CD cases.You have to really just let your imaginationgo wild!

The Other StuffWhat about the other items you

collect from concerts? I used to collect buttons and patches and stuck them ontomy Dickies purse. Too badI had to besuper protective of them. One night in thepit meant sacrificing a few buttons. I wanted to think of a cool way to displaymy surviving buttons. Some ideas I foundwere decorating picture frames or creating collages. Both are simple andeasy crafts. Another popular item is theguitar pick. Whether you play guitar orgot a pick from a concert, this is a greatitem to put in a concert scrapbook. Guitarpicks can also be cool jewelry pendants.You can take a hot needle, hole-puncheror hammer and nail and poke a hole intothe pick. Then you can put the pick on anecklace chain, bracelet or earrings. Talkabout a rad fashion statement!

As you can see, it does not takean artist to make these unique crafts.While I am specifically talking about concert memorabilia, you can also get in-spiration from other household items andrepurpose them with these creative ideas.These crafts are awesome gift ideas too,especially as the holidays approach. I personally cherish those homemade giftsfrom the heart, and I know my fellowmusic fanatics would too. I just love theidea of combining my love for crafting andmusic into one.

When you have some free time,pick a project, grab your art supplies andget crafty!

Finances Strategies to Tame the Tax Beast

Two new federal laws had aneffect on your income tax bill in 2013and beyond.

Health care reform and the “fiscal cliff” resolution meant new andhigher taxes on the wealthiest Americans, extended tax relief for others, but higher payroll taxes for allwage earners.

To help understand how theselaws may affected you, we created hypothetical scenarios to illustrate howyou could more effectively directmoney and manage taxes. The scenar-ios may not match your situation, butthey should provide ideas on how youmay be able to work toward your financial goals. It’s also important tonote that the suggestions listed foreach member are not the only changesthey should consider making but areimportant in light of the recent tax lawchanges.

Single in the Military

Sarah: 24-year-old PFCSalary: $35,000

In 2012, Sarah began noticingshe consistently used savings andcredit cards to help her pay monthlybills, purchase necessities and travelhome to St. Louis to visit friends. In2013, Sarah wanted to better understand where she spent her moneyand to establish a budget that injectedmore discipline into her finances.Sarah’s time away from home due to deployments and training diminishesher ability to consistently focus on herfinances. She saves 6% of her salary inthe TSP.

Strategies that could address concernsand manage taxes

• Create a budget. Creating and adhering to a budget will help Sarah not only understand where her money is spent but also help her manage future spending. This will eventually allow Sarah to own more than she owes as she begins to carry less debt.

• Adjust her spending. The new laws didn't extend the payroll tax holiday. Social Security taxes have increased from 4.2% back to 6.2% for all U.S. workers. This means Sarah will need to adjust her spending to account for a $700 reduction in annual pay.

• Have an adequate emergency fund. Using credit cards to pay for emergencies creates a false sense of financial security. Sarah should implement a plan for saving six months of living expenses. She could consider a savings account, short-term CD or other liquid investment for these assets.

• Consider saving for retirement in a Roth. Sarah's low tax bracket wasn't affected by the recent law changes. This means the current tax savings associated with her 6% pretax contribution to her TSP is minimal, so changing to Roth TSP contributions could make sense. With the Roth TSP, Sarah wouldn't get a current-year tax deduction but has the potential to access her contributions and earnings tax-free at retirement. Since the TSP doesn't provide her with a matching contribution, she also has the alternative of opening a Roth IRA, which provides more investment choices and access than the Roth TSP. To ensure appropriate asset allocation and management in context of her retirement date, she could consider investing Roth IRA contributions in a target retirement fund matching her risk tolerance.

Young, Married and in the Military

Nate and Kate: He's a 30-year-old military medic; she's a 27-year-old retail manager.Combined salaries: $85,000.

Both agree they need a moredisciplined approach toward financesand a plan to address their goals.They've been saving what they can inbank accounts plus 10% of Nate’ssalary in his TSP. Nate just returnedfrom Afghanistan and deposited an additional $15,000 into their savingsaccount. Kate has not saved anythingfor retirement.

Strategies that could address concernsand manage taxes

• Adjust their budget. The new laws didn’t extend the payroll tax holiday. Social Security taxes have increased from 4.2% back to 6.2%. This means Nate and Kate will need to adjust their spending to account for a $1,700 reduction in annual pay.

• Pay off debt. They should consider paying off their credit card balance if it has a high interest rate, and making additional payments toward Kate’s student loan. They can continue to deduct up to $2,500 in interest from Kate’s student loan based on their joint income level.

• Consider investing with an eye on taxes. The tax law changes did not change Nate and Kate’s tax bracket, and while the act increases taxes on capital gains and dividends from 15% to 20% for some taxpayers, Nate and Kate are not affected. To reduce current taxes and address their retirement planning concerns, Nate could increase his TSP contribution. If future taxes are more of a concern, Roth TSP or Roth IRA contributions could be considered.

On the Homefront

Single Soldiers aren’t just men andwomen without Spouses, they can also be geographically single. Whether you are withouta significant other, or your significant other issomewhere else, you shouldn’t feel that you havenowhere to go or nothing to offer during the holidays. Don’t just sit around your barracks orhouse - get out and volunteer.

Opportunities to volunteer come inmany forms. You can volunteer with an organization or individually; in some cases youcan even volunteer by email or phone. Volunteersare needed for all walks of life, in many differenttypes of situations and for all skill levels. When I did an internet search, I found 445 non-profitslisted for Clarksville and 255 listed for Hopkinsvillewith volunteer listings for everything from working with animals to children and youth, civilrights to environment, human services to jobtraining, and technology to veterans (with dozensin-between). With this variety, there are volunteer opportunities available for everyone!

Here are a few of the volunteer opportunities thatI found.

• The Salvation Army volunteers help with all of their programs. It might be feeding the homeless a hot meal or tutoring students in the after-school program, helping attend to disasters as they strike, or manning an Angel Tree booth during Christmas. You can register as a volunteer with The Salvation Army Clarksville Campus, online atwww.clarksvilletn.volunteerfirst.org.

• Volunteer with Manna Café Food Ministries. Manna Café serves hot meals and distributes non-perishable food to area Families and individuals. You can find more information at

www.mannacafeministries.com. • Collect and donate jackets to the homeless.

If you’re shopping for a new coat, the chances are you have a spare. Instead of tucking it away in the back of your closet, where it will never see the light of day again, give it to someone who could use it. Get your friends, Family and neighbors involved.

• Cats Are Us needs volunteers for animal care, fundraising and more. Cats Are Us is a non-profit no-kill shelter that provides care and adoption services to over 150 cats and an occasional dog. You can find more information by calling (931) 241-7675 or email CatsAreUsTn@aol.com.

• Collect and donate items to a local animal rescue. Homeless pets could definitely use some love and attention during the holidays too! Do an internet search for animal rescue groups (in the town of your choice) and you’ll find more options than you can imagine exist.

• Become a student mentor. Share your learning and experience with a college student in your field. As a mentor, you decide the length of the mentorship and have the flexibility of meeting online or in-person. You can find more information at www.StudentMentor.org.

• Volunteer with Nature Abounds™. Nature Abounds™ is a national 501c3 non-profit organization that brings people together for a healthy planet. You can find more information at www.natureabounds.org or by emailing:info@natureabounds.org.

• Share your knowledge with a small business owner. Your professional skills can help small businesses grow and create jobs. You can find more information at

www.MicroMentor.org. • Inspire and prepare young

people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement (JA) provides innovative financial literacy, work-readiness, and entrepreneurship education. They need volunteers to take career and life-skills into local classrooms. You can find more information at www.janash.com.

• Be a hospice volunteer. Hospice care is a type of medical care provided to patients with terminal illnesses who generally

have less than six months to live. It is characterized as a philosophy of care during the “end-of-life” and provides around-the-clock care. Volunteers can assist with reducing the stress and pressure on the patients and their Families, allowing them to make the most of their remaining time together. Check local listings to find hospice care organizations in your area.

• Many of the churches in this area have food banks or clothing distribution activities. If you are interested in volunteering with them, give one of the church offices a call and they’ll be able to direct you to a good point of contact.

Many volunteer opportunities are alsoappropriate for Family involvement, and remem-ber, volunteers are needed year-round, not justfor the holidays!

When it comes to volunteering, thebest gifts will come from your heart – not fromyour wallet.

Extra Time on Your Hands?Volunteer! by CynDe Clack

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

As we approach the New Year, weare beginning a four-week period called“the holidays.” Some of us anticipate thejoyous occasions of Family reunions,friends, fellowships, gift-exchanging andcountless YouTube-worthy recorded videos.

Even with the anxiety of shopping,arranging houseguests and the financialburden that comes with purchasing (expensive) gifts, for some it is “the mostwonderful time of the year.”

For others, the holidays can serveas harsh realities of some very real life resentments, loneliness, painful past experiences and unpleasant reminders ofhow unhappy life can be. The depressionand sadness during this period of the yearis commonly known as the “holiday blues.”

“Just as a puppy can be more of achallenge than a gift” once said John Clayton, “so too can the holidays.” What makes oneperson rejoice during this time is the verything that can make another person sad. Typical sources of holiday sadness can include a variety of things,however, I’m going to go off the beatenpath of holiday advice and share what I think are things that could be affecting youthis holiday season that you may not beaware of:

Over-commercialization – the “holiday overdose” actually began afterHalloween (and in a few cases, before,) with businesses putting up Christmas decorations and blitzing us with commer-cials, Black Fridays, Cyber Mondays and

discounts galore! Though difficult, limiting your exposureto these activities can help easewith the annoyance of feeling“overwhelmed” with the retailer-consumer full-court press.

The joy of others –whether it is your co-workers oryour friends, those who are excited about the holidays aregoing to talk about Family reunions and the joy of visitingguests. If you are unable to bewith Family and loved ones during this time, I suggest reaching out and offering yourself to joining their festivities(with friends that is–it may be anawkward conversation if you trythis with your co-workers!). Youmay meet new people and thefellowship will keep you from focusing on yourself and thingsthat may lead to depression.

Painful past – run-ins withrelatives, friends and old flames in the pastmay have left you with some serious grievances and resentments. What is important to understand is that resentmenthas no benefit because it keeps us trappedin a negative cycle of wasted time and anti-productive behavior. Instead, I suggestthat you seek to forgive and let it go. It willbe better for your health and wellness during this season.

If you choose not to be aroundpeople this holiday season, that’s ok as well.If you are going to go at it alone, know thatthere are no specific rules for how youshould spend your holidays. Consider thefollowing:

Traditions – if customary holidaytraditions are driving you bonkers, thenstart some new ones. Maybe you pack abag and let the top down on your convertible (insert car model here) and gosomewhere for the weekend. Maybe youtreat yourself to a movie and get the jumbosized (insert favorite junk food items here).

Maybe you take yourself to an internet café or Starbucks and try out the Salted CaramelMocha Frappuccino!

Speaking of drinks, it is a knownfact that the holidays and alcohol quiteoften go hand in hand. If you find yourselfbummed out and depressed, trying to“drink away” depression will only lead toenhanced depression. Why? Because alcohol is a depressant. So, let’s stick to theFrappuccinos, my friend.

Finally, consider volunteering inyour community. Why? Because helpingothers is a great way to help boost a badmood. The holidays are really about givingto others—volunteering provides an opportunity to shift your focus from feelingsof despair to the needs of others.

Remember, no matter what is (orisn’t) happening in your life right now, if youlook hard enough, you can find somethingto be grateful for. If you purposely take inventory of the positive things that arehappening for you right now, it can go along way in helping you keep those depressing thoughts at bay.

Ultimately, the goal during the holidays, as with any time of the year, is tolive and enjoy the present. Find a reason tocelebrate, have fun with yourself and allowyourself to be in the good company ofother people. How this holiday season turnsout for you all depends on how you chooseto see it.

In other words, at the end of theday, the holidays are what you decide tomake of it.
