Bingo Has a Jackpot of BenefitsPrized for its fun, ease and excitement, bingo is a go-to game. And every player comes out a winner, since this amusement has several health benefits:

It can enhance coordination — Bingo can be a fast-paced game, requiring players to search for a number, mark their card and keep up with the caller. This repetitive action exercises hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes. Keeping track of several cards at once intensifies the action.

It engages the brain — Staying alert, listening for information, remembering it and identifying a match on a card are skills that engage cognitive functions and short-term memory. A study found that bingo players performed better on tests of mental speed and accuracy.

It’s social — Games are usually played with a group of people who have a common interest. The setting provides opportunities to talk with others and meet new friends. Such social interactions have been shown to be essential in maintaining a happy, healthy life and increasing longevity.

It’s fun! — It’s been said that laughter is the best medicine, and laughing is often part of the game’s fun and easygoing nature. There’s also the anticipation of hearing your winning number and the excitement of shouting out “Bingo!”

Wrapping It UpWith designs for every occasion, wrapping paper adds a festive, personal touch to a present. Using decorative paper to wrap gifts is a custom that was created by accident.

Cloth, newspaper or brown packaging paper was most commonly used to wrap presents before colored tissue paper became popular in the early 1900s.

During a busy holiday season in 1917, brothers Joyce and Rollie Hall ran out of tissue paper at their Kansas City, Mo., greeting card store. They scrambled to find a substitute and offered their customers sheets of colorful, patterned paper that was used to line envelopes. Selling at 10 cents a sheet, the paper was a hit and sold out that year and the next.

Based on this demand, the Halls — whose store grew to become the Hallmark Cards company — started printing and selling their own decorative paper and promoting its use as gift wrap. Ribbons, bows and other embellishments soon followed, and people began dressing up presents in creative ways.

Wrapping paper often reflects current trends. In the 1960s, whimsical designs and bright colors were fashionable. Gift wrap with cartoon characters, sports teams and other pop culture icons debuted in recent decades. Gift bags were introduced in 1987 and are now the top-selling product for packaging presents.

Dear Lake Forest Friends, Family and ResidentsFrom all of the staff here at Lake Forest Park, we want to wish you sweet and happy holidays. We are so thankful you are a part of our lives, and we are blessed to have so many sweet memories with you. Thank you for another great year at Lake Forest Park!
