At the time, Muppets and Jim Henson could do no wrong." – Bruce Sons, Creative Director "The One With The Holiday Armadillo" Season 7, Episode 10"The ‘Friends'' 2000 holiday special marries a warm message about embracing different traditions with charming laughs and hilarious banter.

The fact that the group is from our new home in North Texas is a bonus!" – Mike Tesoriero, Publisher "Breath of Heaven" Amy Grant"I love this song! It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle 'n' bustle of the holidayseason, but this song slows things down. It strips everything away and takes you back to the TRUE reason for the season." – Andrea Hatchett, Advertising Coordinator The Arts"The Nutcracker" Ballet"‘The Nutcracker' ballet is a classic holiday tradition and one that I was proud to dance in for 11 years. My favorite and most honorable part that I ever danced in the ballet was the ‘Waltz of the Flowers.' The funniest part I danced was as one of the Rat King's minions. Unfortunately for me, my mom still has a photo of me in my rat costume." – Kendall Finger, Marketing & Event Coordinator "Dance of The Sugar-Plum Fairy" Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky"I love The Nutcracker Op. 71: Act II Tableau 3: Variation 2: ‘Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy' by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and specifically the clarinet and bass clarinet solos in the piece.

Little-known Fleurieu Peninsula, Australia, is heavy with local culture and light on commercialism

Dice, which is run by talented young guns who produce small-batch vintages in a converted stable complete with pinball machines and a stuffed armadillo.Some wineries offer local specialty platters to accompany tastings, while others have outdoor patio restaurants and offer accommodations among the vines.Coriole Vineyards' tasting room is in an 1860 ironstone barn. It hosts an annual music festival (May 7 and 8) and a Shakespeare in the Vines event (Jan. 24).. Bring your own blanket; there is plenty of wine on hand.On Saturday morning we headed to the Willunga Farmers Market (www.willungafarmersmarket.com), South Australia's first and perhaps its best, a cheerfully lively affair with local producers' and artists' booths selling everything from wild scallops to pasture-fed Yankaponga lamb.The market's motto rings true: "Meet the grower and taste the region." Willunga is one of a dozen or so charming heritage towns across the peninsula and is known for its gourmet eateries; even the classic old Aussie pub, the Hotel McLaren, is well stocked with local micro-brews and serves creative gastro-pub fare.As the sun headed for the horizon, we settled our salt- and sand-encrusted bodies on the cliff-top deck of the Star of Greece at Port Willunga overlooking a beach dotted with surf fishermen.Once a 1950s bait and tackle shop, it's now a deluxe beach shack serving contemporary Australian cuisine with a menu heavily populated with local seafood such as King George whiting and Kangaroo Island lobster, seafood so fresh that one food writer claimed "rigor mortis had not even set in."Victor Harbor on Australia's south coast is perfect for whale watching and penguin peepingAs my friend Jim and I headed south through the Fleurieu Peninsula from McLaren Vale, past beaches popular with surfers, Route B23 eventually headed inland through eucalyptus-covered hills and pastureland.There are only tiny towns here and remote, secluded beaches. We liked to bush-walk in the Deep Creek Conservation Park, where we spotted clouds of white corellas, kookaburras and cockatoos, and watched 'roos and wallabies grazing under the gum trees with the brilliant blue Gulf St. Vincent as a backdrop.Sometimes...
