Ensure your teen buckles up every trip, whether driving or riding.

By: Tina Stern

Ensure your teen buckles up every trip, whether driving or riding.
Law or no law limit the number of passengers they are allowed to transport.
(With every added passenger the crash risk of your young driver increases significantly)
Restrict the use of any type of cell phone and discuss the dangers of other distractions.
Encourage them to go to www.oprah.com and sign up for a no texting contract. It’s a great program and gaining huge support.

Be a good role model and show your teen that you follow safe driving rules too.

Roast your chestnuts to the new hotness!

By: Deena Nissley

Spin only the best for your guests with these recent holiday releases.

Retro: Jackson Five, Ultimate Christmas Collection
The King of Pop may have gone to meet his maker, but this collection of funky takes from his early years is a worthy tribute. It’s a nostalgic blast of Motown soul guaranteed to get things moving, especially the bonus remixes by modern DJs.
Favorite tracks: Santa Claus is Coming to Town; I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus; Up On the House Top

Folk: Bob Dylan, Christmas In the Heart
Once you get over the idea of a guy named Robert Allen Zimmerman doing traditional Christian tunes, you’re left to deal with the thought that: hey, he’s pretty good at this. Dylan’s plaintive delivery and honky-tonk arrangements are well-suited to deliver these chestnuts.
Favorite tracks: Winter Wonderland; Must Be Santa; Here Comes Santa Claus

Comedy: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas
It’s not really something you can play in mixed company, but the Adult Swim staple will please hardcore fans, especially as Master Shake, Meatwad and Co. take a heretical, scatological take on Christmas songs, loading them up with boogers and lo-fi hip-hop beats.
Favorite tracks: I Sure Hope I Don’t Have to Beat Your A*s this Christmas; Frosty the Red-Nosed Snowman; Feliz Navidad

Agnostic: Animal Collective, Fall Be Kind
There’s nothing to indicate that this is holiday record, but there’s nothing to indicate it isn’t, either. Either way, this Brooklyn-based band has something to celebrate, since they started the year by dropping one of the best-reviewed albums. This EP provides even more abstract atmospherics, best served after a lot of egg nog.
Favorite tracks: What Would I Want? Sky; Graze; I Think I Can
