Gifts of Gratitude
This year, we urge you to put aside your usual gift-giving tendencies and focus instead on giving your friends and loved ones “gifts of gratitude.” Here are some ideas to get you started.

Teaching Gratitude
Would you like to give each of your children one present this holiday season that will have a tremendous impact on their physical and mental health?

Attitude of Gratitude
Keeping a positive attitude can be a challenge but the benefits are worth the extra effort. In addition to changing your outlook, it can improve your overall health and wellbeing.

Gifts of Love
You may find it useful to have a “tool kit” full of gifts of love ready to give to your partner when you may not feel particularly happy with him or her. This is the time to stretch yourself for your partner. This will be a true gift of love.

Adults Want to Have Fun Too
This year, as the holiday season approaches and we all scramble to find the perfect gifts, I encourage you to give your friends and loved ones gift packages that will promote a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Healthy Home: Guide to Giving
We all would like to give the perfect gifts to our friends and loved ones--the kind of gifts that tell the recipients we care about them. One way you can do that this year is to focus on gifts that can make their homes and lifestyles a little healthier.

Kids Corner: From the Heart for the Heart
This holiday season, give your children the most valuable gift they could receive: the gift of health. Children are no longer getting adequate amounts of physical activity during their school days. Therefore, it is up to the parents to encourage children to be active outside of school hours.

Past Perspectives: Holiday Meals
Throughout history, people around the world have marked the winter solstice with feasting, sharing time with loved ones, dancing, and singing. The foods associated with each of these celebrations vary widely according to where they are observed or where they originated.

Savoring the Season
What is something that will distinguish THIS season from all the rest? What can you do each day to ensure that THIS season does not pass by as just more days on the calendar? When you look for something to make this season more than just the expected, the phrase “savor the season” has a whole new meaning.
