JANUARY 2019

Dine and Be KindJanuary is Be Kind to Food Servers Month. Show your appreciation to these hardworking individuals by following these tips when dining out:

Be upfront with special requests: If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, or if your group would like to split the bill, let your server know before you place your order.

Make eye contact: Looking at your waiter shows respect and, along with speaking clearly, can help minimize the chances of a mistaken order.

Learn your server’s name: Use your server’s name, and avoid whistling or snapping your fingers when you are trying to get his or her attention.

Keep the table clear: Placing your bag, wallet, phone and other personal belongings on the table takes up valuable space needed for plates and beverages.

Remember the golden rule: Treat your server how you would like to be treated. Say “please” and “thank you,” and if something isn’t right, be polite when voicing a complaint.

Tip with respect: A 15 to 20 percent tip is customary at restaurants. If a coupon or other discount is applied, you should tip according to what the full price of the meal would have been.

How the World Celebrates the New YearIn the U.S., the New Year is often ushered in with parties, fireworks and a midnight kiss. The rest of the world revels in a variety of traditions.

Spain — At the stroke of midnight, people in Spain eat 12 grapes, one for each month of the year ahead, for good luck.

Russia — In the country’s region of Siberia, divers plunge into icy lakes to place a New Year tree, or “yolka,” beneath the water’s surface, symbolizing a new beginning.

Germany — Germans give a sweet greeting to Jan. 1 by eating the jelly doughnut known as a “Berliner,” “Pfannkuchen” or “Krapfen.”

Japan — All across this Asian nation, the sound of cities ringing in the New Year can be heard at midnight, when bells chime 108 times as a cleansing ritual.

Colombia — Those hoping for travel adventures in the coming year will carry an empty suitcase with them, a custom in Colombia and other Latin American countries.

Greece — Symbolizing renewal, onions are hung on doorways as a good luck token.

Brazil — To bring prosperity and good luck, Brazilians wear white on New Year’s Eve and toss white flowers and candles into the ocean.

Turkey — At midnight, people here sprinkle salt on their doorsteps, which is believed to bring peace and good fortune.

Finland — A crafty custom in Finland is to melt down some tin and then pour it into cold water. When the metal hardens, the shape it forms gives a prediction for the year to come.

Romania — For protection in the new year, many dress up as bears and perform a dance to scare away bad luck.

Skiing Through HistoryFrom families hitting the slopes for fun to athletes competing in fierce races, snow skiing is enjoyed by millions around the world.

The cold-weather pastime was first used for survival rather than thrills. Dating back to prehistoric times, people in snowy climates skied as a way to travel across frozen terrain. Cave paintings found in Norway and China depict hunters on skis, and fragments of ancient wooden skis have been unearthed in Russia and northern Europe.

A shift toward skiing as a sport began in the 18th century, when the armies of Scandinavian countries trained on skis and staged races down mountain slopes and around obstacles. The first nonmilitary ski competitions were held in the 1840s in Norway. The popularity of the sport spread, and in 1924, skiing events were part of the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France.

With improvements in equipment, including the development of metal and fiberglass skis and the invention of the chairlift, skiing became easier and accessible to more people. It took off as a recreational activity, and ski resorts worldwide opened in response.
