Going on a holiday trip to the Big Bear Lake mountains? Some people forget to take items like, extra toilet paper, favorite blanket, flashlights, muffin pan, and baby formula.

First and Foremost…Plan ahead to nab choice cabins and dates. (Try to book holidays a year in advance.) Last-minute trips are doable too, but be prepared to make a few trade-offs at that point.
How to score deals: Big Bear has no off-season really, but some months are slower than others. So call us and ask when we expect some cabins to be lower in price. Don’t forget all rates usually go up during holidays and prime locations will always be higher. So if you are next to the ski slopes in December , you will no doubt pay more than if you are next to the airport. You can also save by staying longer in slower months or by taking weekday trips. At any rate, don’t be shy, ask us how we can help get you more for your buck. We also have promotions and packages that can help you make your trip more fun.

Ways to save: Get more and pay less by sharing a cabin with family or friends. Three couples can afford a swankier property by pooling their cash. Use pullout couches to comfortably accommodate more. Don’t forget kids can sleep on bunk beds and roll-away cots. For big groups: Planning a family reunion, wedding, or big-group trip? Ask about our larger properties and get cozy with your friends by sharing a larger space.
What to pack: Coffee filters, bug spray, sun block, candles and bathing suits (for huttub) are some extras to consider. Be sure to figure out if you will need firewood or charcoal for grilling. Think about your menu and consider bringing special items like cake pans or cookie sheets. You don’t want to be scrambling later or having to shell out money for those things you left behind.

When you go: Arrive before sun-down. Steep mountain roads with hairpin turns get downright scary in the dark. Shop for groceries at home, because the local markets can become packed. Dont forget to check if you need snow chains on your tires, it is often mandatory during heavy snowfall.
Let us know what you expect from your trip and how we can make it hassle-free. Our Big Bear Cabins are the very best.

A good way to relieve the stress of the Holiday season, is to simply laugh! I’m not kidding, although I do have some jokes to hopefully put a smile on your face, I’m telling the truth! Here are some very interesting facts about laughing and the good it has on our health:
- Laughter boosts your immune system and decreases stress hormones
- Laughing 100 times roughly equals 15 minutes on an exercise bike? Vigorous laughter increases the heart rate deepens the breathing rate, and uses muscles in the face, stomach, and diaphragm.
- Aside from improving our moods, laughter can reduce stress, help fight infection, and reduce pain.
- The levels of two stress hormones, cortisol and epinephrine which suppress the body’s immune system, will actually drop after a dose of laughter.
- Higher levels of an antibody (salivary immunoglobulin A) that fights infectious organisms entering the respiratory tract were found in the saliva of people who watched humorous videos or experienced good moods.
- Laughter releases anger, fear, guilt, anxiety and tension
- Researchers found after watching an hour-long video of slapstick comedy that the “natural killer cells,” which seek out and destroy malignant cells, more actively attacked tumor cells in test tubes. And these effects lasted up to 12 hours.
- Planning enjoyable activities for the future will reduce the stressor hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.
- Laughter reduces pain by releasing endorphins that are more potent than equivalent amounts of morphine
The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed. Don’t wait until you are sick before you begin practicing laughter therapy. Start today by renting comedy classics from your video store, borrowing humorous books from the library, attending comedy clubs, watching comics on TV, and exchanging jokes with family members, friends, and coworkers. If you are visiting someone in the hospital, why not bring funny greeting cards and humorous books instead of flowers? Have a happy Holidays and just smile it will make you a little happier!

Though no mention was made of her, Santa Claus’ wife made her debut in 1899 in Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride, one of a set of thirty-two books by Katharine Lee Bates, composer of “America the Beautiful. In 1908, another story encouraged children to start leaving a little food for Santa Claus because he would be tired after his hard work. Carrots and other treats were later added for his reindeer. Of course, Santa always left a note thanking the children for their kindness. A 1910 advertisement for Ivory Soap showed a child sitting in front of the fireplace with a bowl of water, a towel and a bar of Ivory soap so that Santa could wash up after coming down the chimney. Following the ad to the letter, soiled wash clothes and dirty water was often found on Christmas morning.

· Approximately 25-30 million Real Christmas Trees sold in the U.S. every year
· Did you know that Saint Nicholas is commonly identified with Santa Claus due to his reputation for generosity, secret gift-giving and his kindness to children
· The North Pole is not on a continent, it is located in the Arctic Ocean
· The names of the ‘Three Wise Men’ are not actually mentioned in the Bible? The Magi are known as Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar as these names were detailed in an early 6th century Greek manuscript
· Germany made the first artificial Christmas trees. They were made of goose feathers and dyed green.
· Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word “X-Mas” comes from. Not because someone took the “Christ” out of Christmas
· More diamonds are sold around Christmas than any other time of the year
· In Mexico, wearing red underwear on New Year’s Eve is said to bring new love in the upcoming year
· “It’s a Wonderful Life” appears on TV more often than any other holiday movie.
· From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was outlawed in Boston, and law-breakers were fined five shillings
· Rudolph, “the most famous reindeer of all,” was the product of Robert L. May’s imagination in 1939. The copywriter wrote a poem about the reindeer to help lure customers into the Montgomery Ward department store
Hoping you all a wonderful holiday season
