Outside this little circle of light, the woods are black. "This place feels blissful." "It's mesmerizing," says Jocelyn Dubrey. You can see your breath in the colored light. There are people everywhere in heavy coats and mittens. Beyond the river stretches the vast High Peaks Wilderness.

When Herbert Hoover and Gen. John J. Pershing got together for dinner during the holidays of 1920, they could have ordered anything they wanted.

With so many nations at risk of famine we need the help of everyone to save lives and provide stability and hope for the poor. And this warning from the U.N. Pershing and make feeding the hungry part of your holiday celebration. This fundraising supported the heroic efforts of charities and the American Relief Administration, which saved many lives from starvation in Europe. Each one of us could have an empty chair symbolizing the invisible guest, and this time it could represent one the starving children in Somalia. Hunger will continue to impact millions in Yemen until a peace treaty and reconstruction can occur. “People are dying from starvation, many of whom are women and children.” The "invisible guest" dinners led to millions of dollars in funds to feed starving children. Their dinner table included an empty chair which symbolized an "invisible guest," one of the hungry children. The two leaders invited others to their dinner party which ended up being a fundraiser for hunger relief in Europe. Hunger is always the enemy that holds out the longest in war, often not surrendering until years after the fighting stops. Hoover was a successful businessman and Pershing had led U.S.

Seventeen years after meeting, Katharine McPhee and David Foster teamed up for their first joint holiday album.

“David just said to me the other day that he just remembered that he used to get sent to his room all the time when he was a little kid, because he would not stop tapping on the table and it would drive his dad crazy. It’s like the holiday gift that just keeps on giving and keeps us very busy.” … He lets you be who you are, but he gives you guidance, definite direction and then he goes off and takes what he’s helped create and just does his whole spin on it. “Over the summer, we were having discussions about how amazing David is as a producer, but also specifically how successful he’s been with holiday Christmas albums,” McPhee said in a recent interview with CNN. The husband and wife met in 2006 on the set of “American Idol,” the stage that catapulted McPhee’s career, but had yet to collaborate. … It’s almost like a collection this year and next year – it will complete the full album.

Dec. 23 was "the worst day of the entire year for cancellations," said Scott Keyes, the founder of Scott's Cheap Flights.

Make sure you have at least half a tank of gasoline in your car at all times, and make certain tires remain inflated. If you're already at the airport when your flight is canceled, prepare to talk to customer service. "You can call any one of those international offices and get through to an agent who can help get you rebooked, just the same as a U.S.-based agent can but with a fraction of the wait time that you'd be facing if you called the main U.S. Keyes estimated that it will take about a week for the aftereffects of the delays and cancellations to be resolved. Remember Keyes' earlier tips, like calling the international number and asking about being rebooked on a different airline. To deal with this, try downloading a good weather app and an airline operations app, and ask your airline for the tail number of the aircraft assigned to your flight. If you wait a few hours or days, it may be gone." If a plane can't leave that airport to get to yours, you won't be flying on time. You can track that tail number on the airline operations app, and use the weather app to see what's going on in that location. If you're heading to the airport or already there, it might be worrying to watch the wave of cancellations. Even if you aren't being offered a storm waiver, airlines are "If you see a seat, snag it ...
