Thursday, November 8, 2012 – Daily News 3A Hubby's family overspends on Christmas Dear Mary: My husband's fami- ly spends lavishly every Christ- mas, and it always makes me feel pressured to reciprocate. For example, last Christmas, they bought my 4-year-old daughter a very expensive DVD player. And they gave me a $150 gift certificate to my favorite salon. While their generos- ity is greatly appreciated, my hus- band and I can't afford to break the bank Christmas shopping. Plus, I'm worried they're sending my daugh- ter the wrong message about the meaning of Christmas. How do I make it a nice Christmas for every- one without looking like a cheap- skate? -- Shannon, Indiana Dear Shannon: Could it be you're putting pressure on yourself to be the Family Christmas Magi- cian? You can't control what other people do. What your daughter learns about the real meaning of Christmas she'll learn from you and your husband, and not just from what you say. She learns from your attitudes and actions, too. Teach her that the gifts we give express what's in our hearts. How about letting her help you of the family. Should she (and you!) receive gifts from others, accept them as the expres- sions of the givers' hearts. And don't miss any opportu- nity to teach her how to be gra- cious and genuine- ly grateful. And, hey, enjoy that spa day! Dear Mary: When my children were small, birthday parties at pizza parlors and entertain- ment places were very popular. But these places charged a flat per-person fee, and my kids wanted to invite all their friends. That just wasn't in our budget. Instead of just saying no, we explained what we had budgeted for each of their birth- days. That money had to cover the party expenses and their gift from us. It didn't take long for them to for Christmas, telling our children our gift budget. This made them think through their Christmas lists. They could have one big gift or several smaller ones. It was their choice. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate make gifts this year? Here's an idea: Create a family calendar that highlights the important family dates and events for the coming year. Once completed, make a color photocopy for each member figure out that if we had their party at home or the park, had a home- made cake and played lots of games, they could invite all their friends and there would be money left over for a gift, too. We became very creative and had wonderful parties. I don't think my kids (or their guests) ever felt deprived. We began doing the same thing this! You're teaching your kids the value of money while at the same time involving them in the process of making the financial decisions. You did more than keep the lid on the cost of birthday par- ties. You prepared your kids to make it in the real world, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn they're doing very well in life. Do you have a question for Mary?

Medicare open enrollment in progress Passages wants to remind Medicare beneficia- ries that open enrollment to change or enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan known as Part D began Oct. 15 and will end Dec. 7. During this open enroll- ment, people will also be able to make changes to their health care coverage, such as enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan. On Thursday, Nov. 14 beginning at 10 a.m., HICAP will be providing a workshop on Medicare Changes for 2013 at the Red Bluff Community Center, and will be avail- able to assist participants with hands on training as to how to navigate the Medicare.gov website and getting comfortable with the tutorials provided, as well as helping beneficia- ries run their own drug plan cost comparisons. For 2013, there will be 32 Part D plans available, and 4 to 6 Medicare Advan- tage plans in the five-coun- ty service area of Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Plumas and Tehama. Some drug plans will not be available next year, and those remaining may change or merge with another drug plan vendor, and there will be new ones offered as well. Premiums will range from $15 to $118.60 per month for pre- scription plans, and for Medicare Advantage plans premiums will vary from zero to $175 per month depending on the county in which they are offered. Part D Plan vendors have started their market- ing, and people with Medicare will once again be deluged with informa- tion about changes and new offerings. Before making any decisions, Tatiana Fassieux, Program Manag- er for the Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) with Passages, warns people to do their "homework" as signing up with the wrong plan, or not doing anything The National Park Service and Cal- ifornia State Parks are gearing up for their annual Old Time Holiday cele- bration 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1. town's Tower House Historic District, families are invited to make a free wreath to take home for the holidays.

There are several hun- dred people with Medicare in Tehama County who will be affected by plan avail- ability and premium changes. Medicare benefi- ciaries should have already received their Annual Notice of Change in their mail. This important docu- ment describes changes to their plan's coverage and cost for 2013. Some will be told that they have to pick a plan, or run the risk of los- ing Part D coverage. Another consideration is; understanding the risk of making assumptions that your drug coverage will remain the same next year. To help those with Medicare understand the changes, HICAP is offering several Medicare work- shops in Tehama County. These free workshops are School.
