The demands placed on us during the holidays make it hard for us to find time for a healthy workout. I am working on improving my health so I’m paying attention to things like this.
Today Better Homes and Gardens suggests we combine a bit of exercise with getting a closer look at our neighborhood’s Christmas decorations. Walk instead of drive.
After lunch, we’re going for a walk to see how everyone’s decorations look in the daytime. I need to walk a lot lately with all the holiday foods tempting me.

In addition to the Yule Bread made yesterday, I also made a Meyer’s Lemon Cake for dessert last night to represent our returning sunshine—not so healthy but ever so yummy. So walking will ease my conscience a bit.
I forgot to show you my little thank-you gift for the hostess of the delectable Christmas Tea Party I recently attended. I love putting little gifts together.

A little bag of peppermint bark, a red/white teacup Christmas ornament, and a package of blank Victorian Christmas recipe cards were tucked into a small fabric-covered box along with my thank-you note.

A walk... so simple and relaxing and healthy... a walk! It's 22 degrees and we have 50 mph winds. Not good for a walk!! But very good for cuddling up by a roaring fire and watching the Packer-Bears game.
The cake looks wonderful!! Yummy!
Have a great Sunday,
Joni
Just a lovely hostess gift! I bet she adored it! June did you get my email? I haven't heard from you. I have been having problems with my email...not really sure what the deal is but will send another out today! Merry Christmas dear blog friend!
I'm a walker so I must concur with your idea about getting out for a walk. Even a little walk can bring lots of refreshement and energy to your day.
LOVE the red & white gift box.
