Prepping for 85th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
The 85th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will kick off from 77th Street and Central Park West in Manhattan next Thursday at 9 a.m. Macy's opened the doors of its Moonachie production house to give a first look at some of the floats people can expect to see in this year's parade. The 72,000 sq. foot Moonachie production house is new to the Macy’s crew, who moved into it about a month ago from a location in Hoboken, Macy’s Studio employee Bill Barton said. “Moving our studio to Bergen County has been great. The facility is bigger, and transport is easier, since buildings in the area aren’t as close together,” he said. The floats, which will be stored in a warehouse in Carlstadt for the next week, will move into Manhattan next …
Drop-off location says it got a great response from area donators last holiday season
For the sixteenth year in a row, residents across the state will collect coats to donate to residents in need during the upcoming holiday and winter seasons. This year, there is a “Jersey Cares” drop off location at the Liberty Hyundai Dealership on Route 17 North in Mahwah. Jersey Cares, a non-profit established in 1993, is an agency that works with volunteers across the state to help provide for “community-identified needs,” according to its website. In addition to individual projects, group sponsors a handful of annual events aimed at having a big impact on Garden State volunteers and benefactors. The organization has set the lofty goal of collecting 50,000 “gently used” coats to be redistributed to Jersey residents in need. “This is …

Easy to make and it travels well, bringing Garden State history to the table
When the hosts take up your offer to bring something for Thanksgiving, do it Garden State-style with homemade cranberry sauce. This dish is pretty and almost as easy as opening a can. It also tells a story of New Jersey history, which might be useful table talk at Thanksgiving dinner. Cranberries have grown in New Jersey for centuries. One of the earliest written references is a letter from emigrant Mahon Stacy. Writing to his brother in 1680, Stacy said, "We have from the time called May until Michaelmas a great store of very good wild fruits as strawberries, cranberries and hurtleberries. The cranberries, much like cherries for color and bigness, may be kept until fruit comes in again. An excellent sauce is made of them for venison, …

Great recipes—and good wishes—for a stress free holiday
Holiday time invokes thoughts of family and friends getting together to eat delicious foods and drink yummy cocktails. The problem is that someone has to host the warm evening and in order to have a stress-free, successful party, you have to work your little bum off for days before the event. All the hard work is worth it when you are able to drink a glass of wine, nibble on an appetizer, and watch your guests having a wonderful time. The key, according to me, is to be super organized and have a list of things to do before the event. Last year we hosted 20 people for Christmas and I initially was very nervous about what I was going to make and whether everything would be ready on time. For some reason I find myself gravitating towards an …
Searching for the perfect holiday gift this season? Try some of these ideas for the gardener in your life (or for yourself!).
The winter is a great time to curl up with a good book and dream about the growing season to come. It's also a time to think up fresh garden designs, pick up some new tools, and perhaps even find some funky "flair" for the garden. Here are a few great books that have gotten me through many dreary winter days: If you're looking for a gift for a more eclectic gardener, I love Fred Conlon's handmade sculptures created from recycled hardware. The Venus Fly Trap Garden Stake in my garden always gets people's attention, and I'm hoping to add the Flamingo-Away Sculpture next season. To bring some of the garden inside for the winter try a sleek-looking, self-watering windowsill planter. Use it in your kitchen and snip fresh herbs for cooking, or…
