The holiday season is upon us and to get our readers ready to “Deck the Halls,” we asked Jan and Greg Luring to share their home’s beautiful Christmas décor. They graciously agreed.

I didn’t have the words.
The fading light of December can make winter seem even gloomier. If you have empty flower pots and urns on your porch or deck, they’re just drawing more attention to what’s missing.
For the last couple years my husband and I have hosted an ugly Christmas sweater party. Have you been to one? It’s become such a popular thing to do in the last few years that retail stores carry all sorts of ridiculous and funny sweaters, dresses, socks and just about any other clothing opt…
It took me awhile to get over it when the Black Angus on North First Street shut down after 46 years in business. The tall booths, moody lighting, giant steaks and steaming baked potatoes — when I ate there it was like going back in time to a simpler, Rat Pack kind of era. When the doors clo…
As you climb the grand staircase of the Pittock Mansion, you can almost picture the family members of a previous century descending in their finery. With a rustle of taffeta and a last-minute straightening of a tie, they might have been on their way to the first-floor music room for a family…
There’s a good reason to take a stroll along Yakima Avenue if you’re downtown this fall — the new Windows Alive! exhibit, featuring six local artists, is on display. It’s a diverse and visually exciting show featuring a variety of art, two and three-dimensional.
You’ve put away your shorts, flip-flops and sleeveless tops. Summer was way too short and temperatures are already dipping below freezing overnight. There’s no way of missing Yakima’s four distinct seasons and you’ve got to be prepared for anything with our weather.

I inherited my grandmother’s loaf pans. They’ve been around for years now, moving with me from house to house. I somehow ended up with a large one and half a dozen mini loaf pans. They are slightly warped from too many visits to the oven and a little stained from years of use.
Feel like some fresh homemade food with a side order of aviation? Reno’s on the Runway opened in late September next to the McAllister Museum of Aviation on South 16th Avenue. The restaurant is right next to the runway, so you can watch planes take off and land while you eat. It’s in a small…
I’m sure you know that sinking feeling when you’re getting dressed. You’re running late and you open your closet and start looking through it, hanger by hanger. Nope, nope, no. Wore that Monday. Too summery. Too fancy. Too casual. Hasn’t fit since 2016. Ack! Definitely not.
Except when it comes to buying plants for my garden, I consider myself to be fairly frugal, maybe even a little on the cheap side. It’s in my DNA. My parents and grandparents endured the scarcities of the Great Depression, and they never really got over it.
