Holiday Parties Become Hooplas In Times Square

New York City is the nation?s ?holiday central,? and in its very heart ? Times Square ? the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan presents an array of celebratory feasts for corporate and social holiday reveling designed to appeal to a range of palates and budgets.

The three four-hour Holiday Party options, created by the hotel?s culinary team, are based on the mingling-encouraging buffet format and include open bar service, reception with passed hors d?oeuvres and dinner. The festive holiday parties start at $ 129 per person and will engender the holiday spirit through year-end in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan?s stylish function space; this space, including the reception area of the hotel?s recently re-furbished Broadway Ballroom, basks in twinkling, light-bathed cityscape views.

Event planners who book by Oct. 30, are entitled to one complimentary guest room and 20,000 Priority Points.*

Each of the three Holiday Party menus begins with a one-hour reception, followed by a three-hour dinner-dance. The enticing reception and dinner menu choices for these holiday parties are numerous and include the luxe ingredients that make an event truly special - the likes of lobster, foie gras, Peking duck and filet mignon, along with holiday favorites like maple glazed ham and rib-eye roast.

The Holiday Party dinner buffets boast chefs practicing their craft at elegant stations such as carving, sushi and pasta. And elements of culinary whimsy add to the fun factor, like a Mashed Potato Bar where one of America?s favorite vegetable dishes is served in Martini glasses and guests can garnish their spuds with a variety of tempting toppings.

Any of the Holiday Party in Times Square options can be made further festive with dancing, entertainment or digital presentations.

Fitness Guru Provides Key Tips in Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 12, 2011

As people finish off their Thanksgiving leftovers and begin to put up Christmas trees and menorahs they may be thinking about the wonderful holiday season that they are celebrating. The crisp air and holiday music may signal that the season is in full swing, but so may expanding waistlines. Kristen Marxham, a fitness guru from San Francisco, California, has worked with her clients for the last ten years to help them fight off holiday weight gain. Now, she has shared her insight with the rest of the world.

"People often do not even realize that they are gaining weight until it has already become a problem and their clothes do not fit properly," commented Marxham. "Stepping on the scale or watching what they eat is not an everyday thing. Even for those who do keep a close eye on their diet, the holidays seem to offer a free pass for people to eat as much as they want."

Maybe the holidays are an excuse to binge on fatty foods and sweets, but these foods do not come without a price. Marxham reports that many people can gain up to ten pounds over the holiday season. Although this means booming business for fitness companies during January, it also means an unhealthy society. To help people stave off weight gain during the holidays, here are five tips from Marxham.

TIP SHEET

1. Use the scale once a week and address weight gain when it occurs by working out or adjusting food intake.

2. Keep a food journal. Writing down the foods that are consumed will make controlling one's eating habits easier.

3. Continue to exercise. If it gets too cold, invest in indoor equipment, such as a treadmill or elliptical, join a gym, or use a workout DVD.

4. Make time to relax. The holidays can be stressful, and stress can lead to weight gain.

5. Enjoy active family activities. Instead of watching a movie, try sledding, skiing, or going for a walk.

Marxham's tips have helped her clients fend off holiday weight gain before. She commented that, "The key to maintaining a healthy weight is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Just because it is the holiday season, this healthy lifestyle should not be dropped."

4 New Holiday Home Design Ideas That Are Fast, Easy & Cost-Effective Using Faux Stone & Wood

Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Your home's holiday decor this year can feature fast, simple but visually stunning interior redecorating by using budget friendly faux wood, stone and brick from industry leader FauxPanels.com and FauxWoodBeams.com

?It?s amazing the huge impact an accent wall or some trim pieces can have on the entire look of a room,? said Steve Barron, president of Faux Wood Beams and Faux Panels.

Today?s synthetic panels and beams are created from molds of genuine stone, brick and wood beams to replicate their natural beauty. Yet thanks to modern polyurethane foam, they're virtually maintenance free, highly durable, fast and easy to install, and much more affordable than their genuine stone or wood counterparts.

Even better, they?re a DIYer?s dream.

?If you can use basic tools like a hammer and screwdriver, you can install faux panels,? said Steve Barron. ?It goes up so fast ? you can do an entire wall in one to two hours.?

Even homeowners who want to hire a contractor benefit from the quicker installation time. Less time means lower labor costs.

Here are four small or medium projects that will add some zing to your holiday home decor just in time for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year?s.

1. Accent Treatments Change the Look of an Entire Room

Less is more, especially in decorating. Rather than doing an entire room in faux stone or brick, just do a small segment, creating a focal point for the entire room.

Covering a fireplace in faux stone or brick is a common way to change styles. Another home decorating idea is continuing the design all the way up to the ceiling ? a great technique that can create the appearance of a higher ceiling.

2. Give Those Holiday Stockings a Better Home

A new fireplace mantel is a super quick and easy way to change the look of a room during the Christmas decorating season. In addition to faux wood styles ? many available in a Class A Fire Rating for additional peace of mind ? genuine wood mantels are also available.

If you like your current mantel but want to change its appearance, corbels can be added underneath as decorative support features. Even better, you'll be done in less than an hour.

3. A Little Trim Goes a Long Way

Adding a few faux wood beam knee braces livens up porch supports, and they?re incredibly easy to install. Because they?re made of durable polyurethane, pests like termites have no interest in them and they hold up in even the most severe weather conditions ? like a very snowy winter.

Knee braces add character year round but during the holidays, a string of holiday lights or pine garland wrapped around them would add even more visual interest for Christmas curb appeal.

4. Mail Those Holiday Letters With Style

Mix some practicality with an exterior redesign by installing a faux stone column with a mailbox near the end of your driveway or by the front door. It?s a very simple DIY project that creates a visual anchor for the front of your home ? and it?s completely weather resistant.

?People think ?redecorating? and assume it has to be a huge project but little changes like this can really make a big difference to the look of a room while still getting it done in time for the holidays,? said Steve Barron.

About FauxPanels.com and FauxWoodBeams.com

FauxPanels.com is an industry leader due to wealth of installation guides for DIYers and the best selection of the realistic faux brick, stone and wood panels and columns on the market. FauxWoodBeams.com leads the field of polyurethane wood beam products, ceiling panels and architectural products. Products from both companies have been regular featured on television shows such as ?Celebrity Apprentice? and numerous appearances on ?Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.? Both are subsidiaries of Barron Designs Inc., a family-owned home improvement business operating since 1972. For more information, visit FauxPanels.com and FauxWoodBeams.com.
