A. A warehouse-club pack of AA batteries! My husband's brother gave it to us for Christmas. Our first child was about three years old, and we needed batteries all the time for toys. That was a big drain on our young-couple budget. The gift was so thoughtful that we now only give things that are purposeful or personalized. KENDRA HOPKINS, ARLINGTON, TEXAS A leather luggage tag with my name embossed on it. The friend who gave it to me passed away, and I feel like she's with me whenever I travel.

How do we begin the process? Start with yourself and work backward as far as you can go. Write down names (including maiden names), dates, and locations that you know of—city, county, state. Also note any unique family traits— twins, red hair, gray eyes—and genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis. Then interview older relatives to fill in the gaps. How do we organize what we learn? Keep track of details in an ancestral chart, which is essentially a family tree. You can find a template form at Ancestry.com/download/charts. What should you ask relatives? Where did you grow up? Why and when did the family move? What types of jobs did your parents have? What do you know about our family's health issues? And, of course, ask them about the relatives…

No. 1 Waxing PROS: It removes a lot of hairs at once, and you can easily (but not painlessly) do it yourself. "It's quick, plus it works on all hair colors and textures," says Francesca Fusco, a dermatologist in New York City. CONS: Hair needs to be a quarter of an inch in length, so you have to be patient while the stubble grows out. Waxing can cause mild discomfort, redness, and bumps. To reduce irritation, apply a hydrating gel, like Aromatica Damask Rose Soothing Gel ($18, peach andlily.com), and skip waxing if you're using a benzoyl peroxide acne medication or a retinoid. BEST FOR: Larger areas, like sideburns. TRY: Bliss Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face ($25, sephora.com), which don't need heating. No. 2 Threading PROS: This ancient technique, performed…

PLEATS AND PLAIDS ADORN ON AN ANGLE For a V shape, fold the right side of a band over the left to form a 45-degree angle. Lay it on the box so the band's crease lines up on the box's edge. For flat-stacking boxes with origami crispness, channel your inner child. (Remember folding paper fans in health class?) Pleated bands or tightly layered patterns promise big oohs for little effort. PLEATING HOW-TO 1. Wrap the gift. For a band similar to those shown, cut a piece of complementary paper (featuring one or more colors from the main wrap) at least 8 inches wide. Fold it accordion-style (flipping back and forth), alternating 1-inch folds with ½-inch folds. 2. Wrap the pleated band around the gift. Secure with double-stick tape. LAYERED-WRAP HOW-TO…

1 Your siblings let their kids run wild (late nights, coookieeees!?). You don't want to be a Grinch, but your kids do better sticking with their routines—and bedtime. "This is hard, because it's such a triumph to figure out what magical routines work best for your kid in the first place," says Hillary Frank, the creator and host of the parenting podcast The Longest Shortest Time. "But there are a few times a year when it's worth disrupting that for the chance to have a memorable experience with family or friends." To gauge just how far to push the envelope (they want to plow through how many movie versions of A Christmas Carol tonight?), do periodic check-ins, says Frank. Is your kid having enough fun to justify tomorrow's payback? Then…

1 PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT. Some credit cards offer generous rewards for specific spending categories—groceries, gas, movies, home repair—so using certain cards for certain purchases makes sense. A free app called Smorecard will do the thinking for you. Download it, then indicate which cards you carry. (It won't ask for card numbers, just names.) It uses a GPS to find you the best return based on your location. If, for example, you're at the supermarket, it will show you which of your cards has a grocery cash-back program in play. 2 GET GIFT CARDS INSTEAD OF MERCH. Some retailers, like Amazon, sync with your credit card to allow you to pay for purchases with points. But first check the point-to-dollar ratio; it's not always favorable. If a $50 item costs…

BRANCH OUT Who says vases need flowers? One sweeping spray of boxwood (tall) and a sprig of seeded eucalyptus (small) among a cluster of shapely vessels creates a festive moment on a mantel or in an entry. Stick with neutral-colored containers, and casually concentrate greens in the center. (For similar vessels: Frosted Glass Collection vases, from $30 each, terrain.com.) LINE A PATH Elevate a staircase naturally, with birch vessels (they don't tip easily) sprouting greens. (For similar: Birch-bark 10-by-7-inch vase, $19, save-on-crafts.com.) Cut the stems so that the greens are about 10 inches taller than the rim. Here the mix is juniper, white pine, boxwood, and seeded eucalyptus, but any mix of several textures works. Place in a Ball jar with water, then set the jar inside the birch holder.…

PRETTY FILLING Cauliflower is hearty enough to star in a main course when it's roasted—like in the dinner-salad recipe on page 198.

4TH CENTURY Saint Nicholas of Myra (in modern-day Turkey) is a bishop hailed for his generosity. He's famous for having thrown a bag of gold through a window as dowries for three poor sisters. The day of his death, December 6, is still celebrated as Saint Nicholas Day in Armenia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. 17TH TO 18TH CENTURIES In the New World, the children of the English colonists encounter other immigrants and learn the Dutch tradition of setting out wooden shoes in which Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) leaves presents. They also hear of Christkindl, the (female) German gift-bearing angel, who brings gifts. The English youth mispronounce these names as "Santa Claus" and "Kris Kringle," respectively. 19TH CENTURY The Santa narrative fills out (as does his belly): He commands…

I received a thank-you note for a gift I did not give. In fact, I did not give a gift at all. I didn't even attend the party but sent a card instead. Should I let the person know that she thanked the wrong person? M. S. Points to your friend for sending a thank-you note at all! Demerits for sending it to the wrong person. Perhaps the gift giver was someone at the party with the same name as yours—or maybe it was the kind of present that you would be most likely to give. Regardless, don't fret. Simply ping your friend a text or e-mail: "If only I'd sent you the gift you love so much! But, alas, I think I got a thank-you note intended for someone…

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME of the year. Don't you feel great? Uh…no? What's wrong with you? Probably nothing. Scientific research confirms what you may already know: Many "happy" occasions are precisely when you're most likely to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and sad. While it's true that plenty of people are frazzled during the holidays, women are unduly affected, with 44 percent reporting that they're more stressed and irritated than usual, compared with just 31 percent of men, according to the consulting firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner. And although you might expect to have mixed feelings about birthdays and major life events, such as retirement, many people are still unpleasantly surprised when angst far outweighs exhilaration, say the experts. "Most festive or commemorative periods involve change. And all change, even the positive…

Q. branching out Any tips to keep my cat from climbing up the Christmas tree? I'm afraid she'll knock it down. E. G., VIA FACEBOOK A. With its twinkly lights and colorful ornaments, "a Christmas tree is a cat magnet," says veterinarian Ann Hohenhaus. Make yours less enticing by surrounding the base with (unlit) citrus candles. Cats don't like the scent, so they'll avoid it, says Vogelsang. No luck? Consider an automated device that can help you set boundaries: Try the Ssscat Cat Spray Control System ($37, petsafe.net). "It detects motion, so you leave it within three feet of the tree, and when your cat gets near, it gives off a startling, but harmless, blast of air," says Vogelsang. (Aim the sensor at the tree's base so it isn't activated…

Don't wait until Monday morning to start thinking about your work schedule, says Julie Morgenstern, a time-management expert and the author of Never Check E-mail in the Morning. Begin two weeks before. Identify exactly what you'll be able to achieve during holiday weeks and when you'll tackle each task. Book the early part of the week, when more colleagues are around, with meetings and calls. Leave the (often quiet) last day before the break for solo work, like expense reports. Jot down potential roadblocks so you'll be prepped to maneuver around them. Banish interruptions by coworkers who pop in to chat (or even people who need you for legit reasons). Morgenstern suggests this exit line: "I want to give you my undivided attention but can't give you that now." Then…

THE FOUNDER OF SERVICE DOGS, INC., SHERI SOLTES, WITH TWO-YEAR-OLD RESCUE CHECHOTAH (RHYMES WITH DAKOTA). CHECHOTAH IS LEARNING TO HELP A NAVY VETERAN WHO DEALS WITH EPISODIC SEIZURES. ON A WARM, SUNNY DAY in Dripping Springs, Texas, Monica Johnson is trying to get a black retriever named Avalon to come stand by her wheelchair, using a signal called "close." It's Team Training Week at Service Dogs, Inc., where dogs in training meet their potential human partners. Avalon, like all the dogs here, has been working with the training team for about eight months. When manager of training Becky McClintock says "close" while moving her hand in just the right way, Avalon immediately bounds into place. But for Monica (pictured opposite), who applied for a service dog in 2014, it's tougher.…

AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL from my Editor's Note picture (or from my Instagram feed), I love just about any kind of dog. But I have a particular fondness for service dogs, which explains why "Dog Is My Copilot" (page 176) made me simultaneously happy and really, really sad. The story introduces us to Sheri Soltes, the founder of Service Dogs, Inc., which rescues dogs from shelters and trains them to become service animals. It is a happy story for me because, really, what a noble pursuit! A former (dissatisfied) lawyer, Soltes decided to change her career, founded the nonprofit, and has never looked back. She has changed many lives—human and canine—in the process. It is a sad story for me because I used to have two service dogs of…

SIGN OF PEACE Around 500 B.C., Druid priests in what is now France hung mistletoe over doorways to ward off evil and boost fertility. The belief was that the plant's magic would be lost if it touched the ground. Since it thrived in winter, when most living things go dormant, mistletoe was considered special. "It was treated so sacredly that if two enemies met beneath a tree on which it was growing, the foes would lay down weapons, exchange greetings, and observe a truce until the following day," says Leonard Perry, Ph.D., a professor of horticulture at the University of Vermont. (See where this is going? We know you do.) KEY TO THE UNDERWORLD Mistletoe gained wider attention around 20 B.C., when the Roman poet Virgil wrote about an otherworldy…

1. Use a lightweight eye cream. "A rich eye cream may feel great going on at the crack of dawn, but the thick texture tends to leave behind a greasy res-idue, which can cause shadow, liner, and mascara to smear, especially as the temperature increases and oil production revs up," says Ciucci, who is based in New York City. Reserve luxurious creams for nightly use, and for daytime invest in a serum, like (1) Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum ($23 at drugstores). You'll still get a dose of moisture without the risk of messing up your makeup. 2. Weatherproof your eye makeup. When choosing eye makeup, opt for those labeled "waterproof," "water-resistant," or "24 hour" on the packaging. For shadow, try (2) L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow ($8…

Ever notice what happens to your body when you're rushing from point A to point B? Especially in cold weather? Your breath gets shallow; your mind, agitated; your muscles, tight. And it's not as if all that stress dissipates when you arrive at your destination. Often your mind and body stay in rush mode, making it difficult to be present. To better enjoy this hectic but rewarding time of year, have this exercise in your back pocket: Sit down—comfortable but upright, so your breath can move freely—and take a few easy slow breaths through the nose. (When you're moving frantically, you end up breathing through your mouth.) Once you feel your breath slow down a bit, take another deep inhale—but this time when you exhale (slowly) and reach the bottom…

holiday hordes At Christmastime, my house gets crowded with overnight guests and becomes a big mess. How do I maintain order? G. B., VIA FACEBOOK The trick is to be assertive about where guests' things should go, but with a welcoming tone. You can say, "We're happy you're here! Let me help you settle in. Here are some drawers and hangers for your stuff. Is there anything else you need?" A portable clothes rack is helpful if visitors are staying in a shared space, like a home office.
