At the supermarket, a woman was pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing girl. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies. When the woman told her she couldn't have any, the girl began to cry. The woman kept repeating softly: "Don't get excited Elizabeth, don't scream Elizabeth, don't be upset Elizabeth, don't yell Elizabeth, keep calm Elizabeth." A woman standing next to her said: "I couldn't help noticing how patient you are with little Elizabeth." The mother replied: "I'm Elizabeth!”

Q: I have a seven-piece beverage set in pink: a pitcher with six goblets in the “Tea Room” pattern.

I have examined it carefully, and I think it is in near perfect condition. It is not a reproduction and has been in my family since the 1940s.

Holiday cooking accounts for 41 percent of all residential building fires in the month of December, accord-ing to the U.S. Fire Administration. Heating fires follow at 28 percent and open flame fires at 9 percent. With more cooking, decorations and open flames, the risk of house fires and burns increases drastically during the holiday season.

“A serious burn or scald can be a life-altering injury with an extremely pain-ful recovery, especially for a child,” said Dale Stauss, board chairman of Shriners Hospitals for Children.

As experts in pediatric burn treat-ment, Shriners Hospitals for Children recommends a few simple precautions parents can take to help reduce the risk of house fires and burn injuries this holiday season:

• Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so children cannot reach them.

• Never leave a hot stove or oven unattended.

• Keep a lid or cookie sheet nearby to cover a pan if it catches on fire.

• Water trees regularly. Discard when dry.

• Keep trees away from heaters and flames.

• Discard lights with bare wires, frays or kinks.

• Never leave lighted candles unat-tended.

Some of us hate it enough to pay someone else to do it. Others take delight in folding corners just so, or the challenge of covering uneven angles, not to mention the seemingly endless varieties of design and texture.

But why do we wrap gifts in paper in the first place?

As with so many modern practices, it dates back to ancient cultures. First came the Chinese and their priceless gift of the invention of paper in 105 A.D. That was followed in the eighth century by the Japanese “furoshiki” and Korean “bojagi,” reusable wrap-ping cloths originally designed for transporting goods or preventing clothing mix-ups in traditional baths, as well as covering gifts.

By 1509, a new English invention appropriately dubbed wallpaper filled a similarly dual purpose, but not for long, since it easily cracked and tore upon folding. The Victorians, whose notions of decor are considered “fussy” by many nowadays, applied a like aesthetic to their gift wrapping, using elaborately decorated paper adorned with ribbons and lace. But that paper also was heavy and rather

unwieldy. It gave way in the early 20th century to colored tissue... which is still in use today, but more as an interior covering.

So what happened in between?

Chalk it up to yet another example of necessity being the mother of invention. In 1917, holiday business boomed so well for a couple of stationery store-owning brothers in Kan-sas City, Missouri, that they ran out of colored tissue paper. For-tunately, a search of their inven-tory yielded a supply of ”fancy French paper” designed for lin-ing envelopes. In the true spirit of American ingenuity, they put it on sale at 10 cents a sheet.

Guess what was snapped up in a Kansas City minute?

The enterprising brothers tried their experiment again the following year, and the year after that. Finally con-vinced they were on to something, they began designing and producing their own decorative paper, solely for the purpose of wrapping gifts.

Still, let's face it — gift wrap isn't practical. In fact, it's downright waste-ful. So why do we spend more than $2 billion on it every year?

Maybe it's the element of surprise. Maybe it's because, as research has suggested, we feel more positive about a gift that is wrapped. Or maybe it's just because that paper is so darned pretty.

Whatever the case, those two broth-ers from Kansas City knew a good thing when they stumbled upon it. Because, in case you hadn't guessed it, their last name was Hall. As in Joyce and Rollie Hall.

As in Hallmark.You heard it here.

• In 1510, the first Christmas tree is decorated in Riga, Latvia. Early Christmas trees are decorated with paper, fruits and sweets.

• In 1531, the first retail Christmas tree lots appear in German cities. Laws limited the size of trees to “8 shoe lengths” (slightly over 4 feet).

• By the 1600s, it is common in Ger-many to decorate Christmas trees with apples. Trees decorated with ribbon, tin shapes, small books and lace, as well as food soon followed.

• By the 1700s, edible ornaments become so popular on Christmas trees that they are often called “sugartrees”.

• In the 18th century, the first accounts of using lighted candles as decorations on Christmas trees come from France.

• In 1777, the tradition of the Christ-mas tree is brought to Colonial Ameri-ca by Hessian troops fighting for Brit-ain in the Revolutionary War.

• In 1804, U.S. soldiers stationed at

Fort Dearborn (now Chicago) bring evergreen trees into their barracks at Christmas.

• In 1842, Charles Minnegrode introduces the custom of a decorated Christmas tree in Williamsburg, Vir-ginia.

• In 1851, Mark Carr opens a retail Christmas tree lot in New York City, the first in the United States. Trees were taken at random from forests.

• In 1856, Franklin Pierce, the 14th U.S. President, brings the first Christ-mas tree into the White House.

• Around 1883, Sears, Roebuck & Company begins offering the first arti-ficial Christmas trees: 33 limbs for 50 cents and 55 limbs for $1. (Today, 80 percent of all artificial trees are made in China.)

• In the early 1900s, due to over-harvesting, many magazines begin to encourage people to substitute an artificial “snow”-covered tree, con-sisting of a branch of a deciduous tree wrapped in cotton.

• In 1901, the first Christmas-tree farm is started when W.V. McGalliard plants 25,000 Norway spruce on his farm in New Jersey.

• In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge starts the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, now held every year on the White House lawn.

• In 1966, for the first time, the tree displayed in the Blue Room of the White House is presented by the winner of a competition held by the National Christmas Tree Association.

• In 2015, approximately 25-30 mil-lion real Christmas trees will be sold in the U.S.
