Share Your Holiday Memories
What was your most memorable holiday season?

Was it the time a loved one made a surprise appearance at the front door?

Or the day you spent serving dinner to the homeless?

Or the winter you were stationed overseas, listening to the strains of "White Christmas" and thinking of home (or at home thinking of your loved one overseas).

Or maybe you nearly shot your eye out with a official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range-model air-rifle.

We're looking for holiday stories -- serious, hilarious, memorable -- for our December holiday issue.

Share yours (we'll take anecdotes, photographs,
mementoes) by contacting us at
info@mcmags.com by November 25.

We Are What We Eat
Making Sense of Fresh Food
With the price of food on a relentless upswing, one of the keys to budgeting sanity is to buy the best-available food at the best value. This means, apart from anything else, doing your best to avoid purchasing food that is beyond its sell-by date, is over-ripe, and looks bad and smells bad. When shopping for food, you have to bring your senses...
