CHRiSTMaS-THe dieT deSTROYeRIn terms of holidays, Thanksgiving, the day spent by many gobbling down a week’s worth of calories in one sitting, is widely considered to be the mother of all diet wreckers. The good news however, is that once the dinner does come to a close, so does the bulk of the over eating. Sure, you may indulge in a leftover helping of stuffing or two (it always tastes better the day after, doesn’t it?), but you probably won’t stuff yourself to the point of pant-unbuttoning again.

Christmas, on the other hand, is a stealthier diet destroyer. Though there is also a main meal, it is the lead up – all those holiday parties - that causes the most damage. The punch bowls of eggnog, the plates of Christmas cookies, it’s tough not to be tempted. Keep your family’s holiday spirit high, but your waistlines low, with these easy ways to keep your diets on track:

Know Your Trigger Foods There are certain kinds of food that get even the most dedicated dieters every time. Once they start, they just can’t seem to stop, no matter how strong their willpower appears to be. Some constantly crave sugar. For others, it’s saltier foods. If you have difficulty eating a just few potato chips for example, you may want to eliminate them altogether so that you don’t set off a feeding frenzy. For kids, sugar is a given want during the holidays. Try to limit the sugars in their line of sight. If you can’t do that, let them have a few but help them pace themselves.

Fill up on FruiTAlthough eating lots of fruits and vegetables sounds like something to add to your list of New Year’s resolution, there’s no time like the present. This may not prevent you from popping a cheese puff or two, but you will have at least given your body some healthy fuel. For the kids, make up small plates of fruit. Try arranging it in interesting patterns. Let your child see you eating fruit rather than the sweet stuff. It’s hard to convince them if you are not practicing what you preach.

drinK sensiblYYou’re aware that drinking too much alcohol can give you a throbbing headache the next morning, but did you know that it can also wreak havoc on your diet? Among the biggest culprits is the holiday favorite, eggnog which contains over 350 calories per cup. You can make it more diet-friendly “light” eggnog or using milk instead of cream. Add extra ice to alcoholic drinks to water them down. And be sure to also drink several glasses of water to detoxify your system. Obviously, make sure the kids get the virgin eggnog and be wary of eggnog made with raw eggs.

pracTice MindFul eaTingStay aware of what, when and why you are eating. It’s easy to lose track of how many cups of eggnog or cookies you are consuming at a holiday gathering. Before you reach for another goodie on the buffet table, ask yourself, “Am I hungry or am I eating simply because the food is in front of me?” Slow down the process by remembering to chew your food thoroughly before taking another bite and to savor the taste. Make sure your children are kept busy. They graze when they are bored just like we do. And grown up parties can be pretty boring for kids. Bring plenty of games, maybe even save a special one that you can break out just for the party. If you are throwing the party and it’s kid friendly, make sure you have a few crafts and fun projects for your littlest guests.

geT bacK on TracKIf you’ve spent the day eating more of Aunt Sally’s fruitcake then you care to admit, enjoy the indulgence, then get back to eating healthy as quickly as possible. Try not to throw up your hands in defeat if you’ve overdone it. Continue to focus on eating as healthfully as possible, no matter the amount of calorie-fests. Remember, it’s important to set examples for your kids during these holidays. They take their cues from you. If you train them early on how to avoid the holiday weight gain it will take them through many more Christmas seasons. By Jennier Saltiel. www.health.kaboose.com/get-back-on-track

elfWill Ferrell brings the laughs in this 2003 movie about a boy who was raised by elves. When Buddy the Elf heads off to New York to find his real dad, he has a bit of a hard time fitting in with his elf costume and love of all things maple syrup. But he soon manages to win over his new family, even his emotionally-stunted dad, and manages to bring Christmas spirit to even the most jaded New Yorkers.

The nightmare before christmasWhen Jack Skellington grows tired of Halloween Town, he wanders into the forest and accidentally opens a portal to a magical place called Christmas Town. Can he convince his fellow townsmen that this new town is a magical place or will he be forced to watch as Christmas Town is taken over and it’s magical spirit robbed?

national lampoon’s christmas VacationIn this laugh-out-loud movie form 1989, Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) is gung-ho about having a good old-fashioned family Christmas, even when his dead-beat brother shows up and parks his RV in the driveway and the cat gets electrocuted by the Christmas tree. After all, it’s not Christmas without a little drama, right?

* FULLY INSURED *

Home aloneIn 1990, Macauley Culkin starred in his breakout role as an 8-year-old who gets left behind when his family takes off for vacation. While he’s home alone, he’s forced to deal with two burglars who have cased the neighborhood to steal Christmas gifts. Using smarts, wit and a few crafty traps, he manages to ward off the burglars and reunite with his family just in time for the holiday.

rudolph, the red-nosed reindeerThis classic made-for-TV Christmas movie premiered in 1964 and it’s been delighting generations of kids ever since. It tells the story of Rudolph, a reindeer with a nose that lights up. He’s looking for a place where he belongs.

santa claus is comin’ to TownThis 1970 TV movie is about Kris Kringle — the man who becomes Santa Claus — and how he brings toys to children in a town that has outlawed them. But what really makes this movie a Christmas classic is the fearsome Winter Warlock’s transformation into a compassionate wizard with the wonderful song “Put One Foot In Front of the Other.”

a christmas carolWhether you like the 1984 version starring George C. Scott or the 1976, 1977, 1999, or 2000 version — a remake seems to come out every year — this is a holiday classic. Based on a story by Charles Dickens about an old miser named Scrooge who learns compassion when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve, this makes a great holiday movie because it’s thrilling and it has a nice message.

white christmasBing Crosby and Danny Kaye are charming in this old-time classic from 1954. Both actors play World War II vets who fall in love with two sisters and go on to become an entertainment duo who make it big as producers of a hit Broadway show. When they find out an old friend is on the verge of bankruptcy, they use their star power to summon help on Christmas Eve and give their friend perhaps the best Christmas present of all.

How the grinch stole christmasThe Grinch (a non-human Scrooge) tries to ruin Christmas for the Whos in Whoville by stealing their presents, trees and holiday treats. Of course, the Grinch has a change of heart and finds love and friendship with the Whos.

a charlie brown christmasIn this half-hour Christmas special, Charlie Brown becomes the director of the school holiday pageant and goes out with Linus to buy an aluminum tree for the show. Instead, they bring back a forlorn real tree. Our hapless hero finds himself dismayed by the rampant commercialization of the holidays and searches for the true meaning of Christmas.

it’s a wonderful lifeWhat holiday movie list would be complete without this 1946 Frank Capra classic, starring James Stewart? A man about to commit suicide during the holidays because he’s financially ruined is stopped by an angel who shows him what life would be like if he’d never existed. It’s a charming movie — part romance, part pathos and a celebration of life.

Miracle on 34th streetIn this sweet 1947 movie, a Macy’s executive tries to find a new store Santa. She hires an old man named Kris Kringle who claims to be the one-and-only Santa Claus. Of course, such claims can get you into trouble and Kris ends up being hospitalized for some kind of delusional disorder. Hope comes in the form of a young man who wants to help Kris prove that he is really and truly Santa.

The Year without a santa clausAnother stop-motion classic from the ‘70s, in which Santa finds himself feeling too discouraged to make his Christmas rounds. He’s sick and he doesn’t think that kids believe in him anymore. Two elves embark on a quest to find children who still believe in Santa. The plot is pretty flimsy, but children won’t mind — they’ll be too taken with the catchy musical numbers.

a christmas storyThis 1983 comedy celebrates the sort of Christmas a young boy may have had in the 1940s. Young Ralphie Parker wants only one thing: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. His parents don’t want him to shoot his eye out and refuse to get it. Wacky hijinks ensue as Ralphie develops some very creative ploys to convince his mother and father that this is the only thing they should give him.

THe CHRiSTMaS ReveLS: MUSiCaL THeaTeR iN CeLeBRaTiON OF THe wiNTeR SOLSTiCe

The darkest time of the year casts a powerful spell over nearly every culture in the northern hemisphere, and has given birth to countless ways of celebrating the winter solstice.

Many of the present-day holiday rituals in our country originate in the Nordic/German traditions and come flavored with the spices of Europe. We invite you to take a little journey to early nineteenth-century Bavaria and the surrounding regions to explore the roots of modern Christmas.

As always, this interactive family friendly show will include superb music, lovely costumes, and traditional dances. Our adult and children’s choruses will add to the warmth, as will performances by accomplished guest artists, including an Alphorn duet and yodlers, who are genuine interpreters of Bavarian culture.

A keepsake booklet containing information about the Bavarian celebrations and songs featured in the show is included with the ticket.

Don’t miss this heartwarming event and join in with our nationwide family of returning Revels fans.
