Whichever holiday you recognize, this is the time of year for celebrations. Lucky for us, celebrations can easily involve physical activity. Organize a holiday gathering at a bowling alley or turn up the music at your party and "shake a tail feather" with your friends and family. This month's newsletter features a variety of information on bowling and dancing, only two of many possibilities for "active" celebrations. For resources on either of these activities, see this month's Video-enabled Factsheet on Bowling as well as The Bowling Arm in the NUDGE column. Also read the Community Voice, "Everyone Can Dance," and the Secondary Conditions column on preventing secondary conditions using non-traditional forms of exercise, such as dancing.
