(StatePoint) Think back onyour early memories of baking.If youre like many Americans,you may have taken those rst at-

tempts at creating cakes, cookiesand other sweet snacks with anEasy-Bake Oven. In fact, morethan 30 million ovens were soldover the years since the brand wasrst introduced in 1963.

And now the toy from Hasbrothat captured the imagination ofmillions of children is turning 50.Heres a brief look at its sweethistory:

1963: Americas rst work-ing toy oven, sold for $15.95,debuted in turquoise with a carry-ing handle and pretend stovetop.In its rst year, over 500,000lucky kids talked their parentsinto spending $15.95. By its fthbirthday, the EASY-BAKE Ovenwas a household name.

In 1965:Hasbro introducesthe Easy-Pop Corn Popper, Bub-ble gum set, Birthday Cake, Partyset and Kid Dinners -these weremini TV-dinner-like trays parti-

tioned into three sections to holdbeef and macaroni, peas and car-rots. I know, I know, (be still mystomach) but hey kids were eatingtheir vegetables.

In 1968:General Mills createsvery cool miniature boxed ver-sions of its Betty Crocker prod-ucts for the EASY-BAKE Oven.

I still have some -unopened, ofcourse.

In 1969:The Premier avocadogreen (which matched the shagcarpet) EASY-BAKE Oven cameout with more dials, a fake clockand even an oven hood.

In 1970: Avocado green wasreplaced by harvest gold (ah, the70s) when the new Super duperEASY-BAKE Oven --hit the mar-

ket. It baked cakes up to twice asbig as the original model and in-cluded a working 20-minute tim-er. 20 minutes? I thought it was12. No wonder my cookies nevercrumbled.

1971: Avocado green wasthe popular color. By years end,more than ve million ovens had

been sold in the stylish hue.In 1973: Since the world

needed more snacks, The EASY-BAKE Potato Chip Maker makesthe scene.

In 1978: The countrys favor-ite oven goes high tech with anorange, white and brown Mini-Wave Oven that resembled a mi-crowave. It also had a mock digi-tal clock that always said 12:30.

Mock my eye, if it constantly read12:30, it looked just like the clockon my microwave my TV, mycoffeemaker

1979: As microwaves be-came ubiquitous, the Easy-BakeOven remained on trend with theMini-Wave oven.

2006: Inducted into the Na-

tional Toy Hall of Fame. 2011: The Easy-Bake Ulti-

mate Oven was introduced witha larger cooking chamber, biggerbaking pan, and a heating elementsimilar to conventional ovens.

2013: To celebrate its 50thanniversary, the Easy-Bake Ul-timate Oven is being unveiled ina new color scheme: sleek silver,blue, and black, along with the

new Easy-Bake Ultimate Deco-rating Pen Kit.

The Easy-Bake Oven is notonly popular among todaysyouth, it brings back sweet mem-ories for many tastemakers withinthe food community. So this holi-day pull out your vintage easy-bake, cook up something for thefamily. Who knows this may be-

come a new family tradition!

With the holidays approaching and par-

ents vying for deals on the many hi-techtoys on the market, it came as a surprisewhen the National Toy Hall of Fame in-ducted some very low tech toys this year.The 2013 Toy Hall of Fame inductees arechess and rubber ducky.

The National Toy Hall of Fame recog-nizes the contributions of toys and gamesthat have sustained their popularity formany years. Criteria for induction include:icon-status (the toy is widely recognized,respected, and remembered); longevity(more than a passing fad); discovery (fos-

ters learning, creativity, or discovery); andinnovation (profoundly changed play or toydesign).

Established in 1998 under the direc-tion of Ed Sobey, the National Toy Hall ofFame was originally housed at A. C. Gil-berts Discovery Village in Salem, Oregon,United States, but was moved to the StrongNational Museum of Play (now The Strong)in 2002 after it outgrew its original home.

The National Museum of Play is the

only collections-based museum in the worlddevoted solely to play! With more than150,000 square feet of dynamic interactiveexhibit space; the worlds largest collectionof toys, dolls, games, and other items that

celebrate play; a wide range of programsand activities; and family-friendly ameni-ties, the National Museum of Play pro-vides educational, entertaining, and unfor-gettable intergenerational fun.

The museum blends the best features ofboth history museums (extensive collec-tions) and childrens museums (high inter-activity) and provides families, children,adults, students, teachers, scholars, collec-tors, and others a multitude of offerings:

Engaging, hands-on exhibits, plus fas-cinating displays of artifacts of play

The great hall of the prestigious Na-tional Toy Hall of Fame

Fun-lled educational programsQuality guest services, museum shops,

and a food courtA working carousel from 1918 and the

Strong Express passenger trainThe National Museum of Play is an ex-

citing, hands-on, welcoming place to play,learn, and dream; a place to pretend, won-der, and explore; a place to discover the past

and imagine the future; and a place to re-kindle memories and make new ones.

The museum takes play very seriously.Its philosophythat play is essential to

learning and human developmentis re-ected everywhere you look beginning withits uniquely whimsical architecture (includ-ing a buttery house built to look like theworlds largest buttery, an undulating two-story caterpillar-shaped atrium, and a struc-ture resembling a pile of gigantic childrensbuilding blocks).

Engaging hands-on exhibits invite youto attend Super Powers School, meet theBerenstain Bears, play your way throughthe history of video games, enter a giantkaleidoscope, board a whaling ship, see the

worlds oldest Monopoly games, step intoSesame Street, walk into the pages of a gi-ant pop-up book, and so much more! Dontforget the food court, indoor train and car-ousel, two museum shops, and an outdoorDiscovery Garden.

A visit to the National Museum of Playis not complete without a stop at DancingWings Buttery Garden at The Strong ,the only year-round indoor buttery gardenin upstate New York.

Enter a lush rain-forest environment andwalk among approximately 1,000 brilliant-ly-colored, free-ying tropical and nativebutteries that utter about (and may even

land on you!). Be sure to visit the chrysaliscase and see emerging butteries.

Dont miss. Rainbow ReefMarvel at the fascinating behaviors

of nearly 150 species of sh and coral inRainbow Reef. This 1,700-gallon coral reefaquariumone of the biggest in the North-eastfeatures a large and low viewing sur-face that provides even the littlest Nemowatchers an amazing view of brilliantlycolored sea creatures!

If you are approaching age65, you will soon becomeMedicare-eligible, and youhave a few decisions to make.For starters, if you arent yetcollecting Social Security, youshould apply for originalMedicare around your 65thbirthday (from three monthsprior to or after the month ofyour 65th birthday). Origi-nal Medicare includes Part A(hospital insurance), whichgenerally is available at nocost, and Part B (medical in-surance), which typically re-quires a monthly premium of

$100 per person (more if yourincome is beyond certain threshold levels).Drug coverage is provided through Medi-care Part D, which is applied for duringthe same time period but separately fromOriginal Medicare.

Yet Medicare doesnt cover all of thecosts of healthcare in retirement. Given thatmost people are likely to need more medi-cal care as they grow older, it makes senseto consider adding a Medicare Supplement

policy, sometimes referredto as Medigap.

Here are some keypoints to know about Me-digap insurance:

Private insurancecompanies sell these poli-cies. Their purpose is tocover expenses that arentpaid for by traditionalMedicare, including co-payments, coinsurance,deductibles and medicalservices outside of theU.S.

You can only buy aMedigap policy if you en-

roll in Part A and Part B.If you plan to buy a Medigap policy,

you should do it during your initial openenrollment period. This begins on the rstday of the month you are at least age 65and enrolled in Medicare Part B. You havea six-month window from that point tochoose any Medigap policy you want re-gardless of pre-existing conditions*. Insur-ance companies must charge you a stan-dardized rate and cannot reject you due to

your medical condition provided you en-roll during this six month window. In addi-tion, they must renew your coverage eachyear regardless of your health status.

Medigap policies sold after January1, 2006, arent allowed to include pre-scription drug coverage. If you want pre-scription drug coverage, you can join aMedicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D)offered by private companies approved byMedicare.

A variety of choicesPrivate insurance companies offer

Medicare supplement coverage, but thetypes of coverage offered are standardized.Every Medigap policy is required to abide

by certain federal and state laws.However, you can choose a specic

Medigap policy that suits your needs.These plans are identied with a letter sys-tem (Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc.). Any in-surer who offers a plan under any of thosecategories must provide the standard levelof coverage dened for that category.

Plans typically cover coinsurance orcopayments that you must pay under yourMedicare coverage. Other benets willvary depending on the type of plan you

choose. The plan you select may or maynot cover:Hospice careSkilled nursing facility careDeductibles for services otherwise

covered by Part A or Part BForeign travelYou can decide on the type of coverage

that is appropriate for your needs. Typical-ly, the more comprehensive the coverage,the higher the premiums will be. If you arelooking for a Medicare supplement plan,shop around to understand if you have ac-cess to plans that may include long-termcare coverage, hearing aids and vision ordental care.

Compare carefullyYou can consider Medigap policies

from a variety of providers in your state(the types of plans offered in each state candiffer). Pricing may also vary. Insurance

companies can base premiums in one ofthree ways:

Community rated, meaning premiumsarent based on age.

Issue-age rated, where premiums re-main steady (and generally lower) if yourst buy the policy at a younger age.

Attained-age rated, where premiumsare lower when you rst buy the policy, butwill rise as you grow older.

Be sure you understand the pricingstructure of the policy you are considering.If policies you are comparing use differentpricing structures, a policy that might costyou less today could be more expensivedown the road as there are a number of

variables that can affect premiums.Also be sure to understand exactly how

your policy works, what it covers, and howpremiums might change in the future. Youmay want to check with the State HealthInsurance Assistance Program where youlive to answer any specic questions youhave about Medicare supplement policies.You can also visit www.Medicare.gov formore information and a free, helpful book-let titled Choosing a Medigap Policy.Planning for healthcare expenses in retire-

ment can be very complex and daunting soconsider working with a nancial profes-sional who can help you review your op-tions and determine what ts best for yourpersonal goals and nancial situation.

###* While the insurance company cant make you wait for your

coverage to start, it may be able to make you wait for coveragerelated to a pre-existing condition.

When it comes time to decorate the tree,theres an amazing assortment of styles,themes and choices. Perhaps you have somespecial ornaments handed down through gen-erations of family members. What do some ofthese more traditional selections mean?

The symbolism of the wreath(or a circle)has been around since the beginning of wri ttenlanguage and before. The wreath represents

an eternal circle life, celebration of comple-tion of some feat or task andthen death.

Wreaths or circles havehistorically been used forbridal headdresses, tokens ofappreciation (medals, laurelcrowns) and for mourningat funerals. Today, wreathsare used for additional func-tions welcoming visitors, aplace to hold spices. It is alsoGods never-ending circle of

life, celebrating the birth ofhis son Jesus.

The material used inwreaths and holiday arrange-ments are also symbolic. Ivyis the symbol of God; the roserepresents Gods divine love;holly, the crown of thorns;evergreen is Christs triumphover adversity; pinecones areseeds of faith sown by Christ;and mistletoe is a sign of

peace.The tree itself, with its fruit of pinecones,

represents eternity that we must always liveour lives with an awareness of eternity as ournal reward.

The decorated Christmas tree can be tracedback to the ancient Romans who, during theirwinter solstice festival, decorated trees withsmall pieces of metal. During the Middle

Ages, an evergreen the paradise tree wasdecorated with apples as asymbol of the feast of Adamand Eve held on December24.

The glass bird orna-ment,considered the univer-sal symbol of happiness and

joy, is regarded by many asa necessity on the Christmastree. Glass blowers wouldcarefully capture wild birdsin autumn to keep in cages in

their workshops and to shel-ter them during the wintermonths. The sound of the gasame form the Bunsen burn-ers used to make the glassornaments would prompt thebirds to sing throughout theday, thereby entertaining theentire family.

The cone. Cones werenatural decorations that grewon majestic r and pine trees,

so they were of course among the rst moldedglass ornaments produced. Cones were be-lieved to be symbols of motherhood and fer-tility. An old legend surrounding cones says:One winters day, a poor old woman and herfamily went out to gather cones on the moun-tainside to use for fuel. Suddenly an obliginglittle elf appeared from under an evergreentree and directed them to where the best cones

could be found. As the baskets were lled theygrew increasingly heavy until the old womanand her children could hardly carry them. Butsuddenly, to their delight, their burdens light-ened when every cone they had selected hadmagically turned into silver.

The Christmas pinecone. When Mary,

Joseph and Jesus ed pursuing soldiers theytook shelter beneath the branches of a pinetree, which concealed the young family withits branches as King Herods soldiers passed.It has been said the Babe touched and blessedone of the trees pinecones. Even today, if youvery carefully cut a cone down its length, youmay see the imprint of His hand the gift offaith and shelter.

Nest in Christmas tree. A legend tells ofthe magic of all the worlds birds bursting intosong as if with one voice the night the Christchild was born. Your family may nd a birdsnest in the Christmas tree the gift of health,wealth and happiness throughout the year.
