Be Jolly Without Weight Gain Let’s not kid ourselves. During the holidays, it is hard to prevent weight gain.

Planning ahead is the best weapon against the battle of the bulge this holiday season. Here’s some easy tips to help you:1. Drink lots of water (8-10 8oz glasses a day). Water also helps to flush out toxins

which is always a bonus.

2. Eat breakfast. People who eat a decent breakfast every morning tend to have an easier time preventing weight gain.

3. Plan ahead. If you know you’ll be attending a party later in the evening, have little snacks frequently throughout the day.

4. Exercise. To prevent weight gain, you must increase the intensity and the length of time you regularly exercise when consuming more calories.

5. Sleep. The holidays come with it’s share of stresses which can cause your body to secrete more cortisol and increase the fat storage. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day strengthens both your mind and body to help fend against stress, enjoy the holidays, and prevent weight gain.

Fun Holiday Facts• Candy canes began as straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorate the

Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decide to have the ends bent to depict a shepherd’s crook and he would pass them out to the children to keep them quiet during the services. It wasn’t until about the 20th century that candy canes acquired their red stripes.

• The modern Christmas custom of displaying a “wreath” on the front door of one’s house, is borrowed from ancient Rome’s New Year’s celebrations. Romans wished each other “good health” by exchanging branches of evergreens. They called these gifts Strenae after Strenia, the goddess of health. It became the custom to bend these branches into a ring and display them on doorways.

• Christmas caroling began as an old English custom called Wassailing - toasting neighbors to a long and healthy life. The earliest collection of carols was published in 1521.

Remembering Pearl HarborIn the early morning, on December 7th, 1941, one of

the most unforgettable moments in history was about to

occur. The Japanese laid fire upon the naval base located

in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, instilling a state of disaster that not

only shook the military base, but the nation as a whole. The

attack lasted only a mere two hours, but fared to be extremely

detrimental. The Japanese military obliterated 20 American

vessels, including 8 battleships, and nearly 200 airplanes.

This single attack marks the beginning of the United States’

participation in World War II. Only one day after the attack,

the United States declared war on Japan, followed by Germany

and Italy’s declaration of war on the US, two days later.

The United States military’s fine men and women put

their lives on the line to ensure American citizens are safe

and sound. Please, thank a veteran today for their valuable

service to our country!

1. Have 15 minutes? Call a family member or friend that you have been meaning to connect with and have just been too busy to call.

2. Have 30 minutes to spare? Sit down and create your own Christmas cards for your close friends and family. Creating your own cards allows you the ability to personalize the cards to your liking.

3. Have an extra 45 minutes? Start on your “to do” list for the New Year. Take this time to unwind and make some decisions of things you want to accomplish for the new year.

4. Fortunate enough to have 60 minutes to spare? Take the family outside to embrace the colder weather. If you live in a snowy region, have fun making a snowman or maybe going sledding or ice skating. Do whatever it takes so you and your family can enjoy some of the simple pleasures of the season. There’s nothing better than creating memories that you will share for years to come.

Take a Minute to Unwind Over the Holiday Season

Christmas Facts & History Although many believe the Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the

year, it is not. It is the fifth to tenth busiest day. The Friday and Saturday before Christmas are the two busiest.

America’s official national Christmas tree is located in King’s Canyon National Park in California. The tree, a giant sequoia called the “General Grant Tree,” is over 300 feet (90 meters) high. It was made the official Christmas tree in 1925.

Candy canes began as straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorate the Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decide to have the ends bent to depict a shepherd’s crook and he would pass them out to the children to keep them quiet during the services. It wasn’t until about the 20th century that candy canes acquired their red stripes.

Christmas caroling began as an old English custom called Wassailing - toasting neighbors to a long and healthy life. The earliest collection of carols was published in 1521.

Silent Night was written in 1818, by an Austrian priest Joseph Mohr. He was told the day before Christmas that the church organ was broken and would not be prepared in time for Christmas Eve. He was saddened by this and could not think of Christmas without music, so he wrote a carol that could be sung by choir to guitar music.

The modern Christmas custom of displaying a wreath on the front door of one’s house, is borrowed from ancient Rome’s New Year’s celebrations. Romans wished each other “good health” by exchanging branches of evergreens. They called these gifts Strenae after Strenia, the goddess of health. It became the custom to bend these branches into a ring and display them on doorways.

A Reason to CelebrateDecember is a month of celebrations and holidays that span many different countries and cultures. Don’t miss out

on any of them. Here’s a guide to what your friends and neighbors are up to this month:

Hanukkah. The eight-day Jewish holiday begins this year at sundown on December 6th (because the traditional Jewish calendar begins at sunset). Hanukkah marks the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem following the Jews’ victory in 165 B.C. According to the Talmud, the Jews had only enough olive oil to keep the eternal flame in the Temple burning for a single day—but miraculously, the oil continued to burn for eight days, during which time the Jews were able to produce and consecrate fresh oil for the flame.

Hanukkah is observed by the lighting of a nine-branched candelabrum, called a menorah. One candle is light each of the eight nights, with a central candle lit each night to light the others.

Christmas. This Christian holiday celebrates the birth of Jesus, sometime between the years 7 and 2 B.C. The word “Christmas” comes from “Christ’s Mass,” a phrase first recorded in old English as Cristes mæsse in 1038. Christmas began to be observed with feasts and celebrations in the Middle Ages. President Ulysses S. Grant signed the law making Christmas a federal holiday in 1870.

Kwanzaa. A seven-day celebration of African heritage and culture observed from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by activist Dr. Maulana Karenga to provide African Americans with a holiday that emphasized their shared history and experience. The name Kwanzaa is derived from “matunda ya kwanza,” a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits.”

Houses are decorated with African art and colorful cloth, and seven candles are placed in the kinara, a candleholder. The central candle in the kinara is black, with three red candles on the left and four green candles on the right. The candles represent the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa, which are contemplated each day as one is lit: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
