still move around indoors. Get into
the holiday spirit by putting on
some music and dancing around with
your kids.
EAT HEALTHY TIP OF THE
MONTH
Make foods look festive by cutting
vegetables into new shapes,
decorating plates with colorful,

sprinkle of sliced almonds or green
onions to brighten a plain dish.
