- Pack a water bottle when you are Christmas shopping/running errands
- Pack a healthy snack when you are Christmas shopping/running errands (e.g. trail mix, piece of fruit)

- For every alcoholic drink you have, drink a glass of water, or soda water with lime in between.
- Dress warm and take a family walk after Christmas dinner…watch the beautiful lights!
- Before you go for seconds, wait 15 minutes and decide if you are still hungry.

- Stay away from the "food table/area" until it is time to eat.
- Freeze some leftover desserts or meals for later use.
- Include a green vegetable in your Christmas dinner (e.g. spinach, asparagus, brussel sprouts, green beans, etc.)
- Include a short daily activity to help reduce stress and stay active (e.g. 10min stretch or 10min walk)
- Eat Christmas dinner S L O W L Y and truly enjoy every bite!
- Buy a gift for good health (e.g. healthy cookbook, yoga/pilates class pass, pedometer, heart rate monitor)
