The city Department of Environmental Services offers a few reminders and tips:

  • There will be no refuse and recycling collection today or on New Year's Day.

  • Don't forget to recycle beverage containers, large corrugated cardboard boxes and Christmas trees. For details, go to envhonolulu.org/solid _waste and click on "Holiday Trash Tips."

    KEEP IT SIMPLE



    BOND WITH HOT CHOCOLATE

    Make quality time with the family even more special with yummy hot cocoa. This recipe — from www.foodnetwork.com — takes just five minutes:

    Combine the following ingredients in a mixing bowl: 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup cocoa, 2 1/2 cups powdered milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cornstarch and 1 pinch cayenne pepper (or more to taste). In a small pot, heat 4 to 6 cups of water. Fill your mug half full with the mixture and pour in hot water; also works great with warm milk.

    FINAL WORD

    "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."

    — Calvin Coolidge | 30th president of the United States
