Holiday Traditions

So often, our holiday memories are centered around food. This is dangerous because it can lead to a lifetime of overeating. Why not replace food memories with those that either don't involve food or are actually active?

Here are some ideas:

• cut down your own tree after hiking somewhere to find it
• go ice skating
• learn how to make healthier meals and holiday treats and cook with your kids
• make your own ornaments and decorations with your kids
• make a wreath out of items you find outside such as branches, grapevines, and evergreen boughs
