Heading into the holiday season, here's something a little different, which "we just can't get enough of. and which, ironically, is especially in demand at Christmas," said School Trustee Ken Clarkson.

Recipe for happiness

2 heaping cups of gratitude; you can't overdo this.

1 heartful of love; easy to find and close to home.

2 acts of kindness; if it's hard to find it's easily compensated because you can create it at anytime.

A blend of savouring moments; close your eyes and breathe.

1 head of understanding; simmered with the relishing of relationships.

To be shared generously among friends and families; best of all, besides being life-enhancing, it's calorie-free!

Tightly cover any leftovers.
