Thanksgiving is almost here, and the winter holidays follow closely behind. While most people write off the holidays as a time when healthy living is impossible, that's not the case!

Before you panic, remember that SparkPeople is here for you! We know that holidays are challenging times for our members.

With all the parties, food, shopping, decorating, and volunteering associated with them, it becomes even harder to exercise, eat right (without going overboard), and stay healthy. So we've created a special newsletter that will help you stay on track, make good choices, slim down your holiday recipes, and squeeze in fitness during the holiday season. Beginning Saturday, subscribers to the "Best of SparkPeople" daily newsletter will receive a supplemental "Healthy Holidays" newsletter. Starting Nov. 21, and running for seven weeks, each newsletter will be full of healthy recipes, holiday-specific strategies and more!

In addition, we wanted to let you know that SparkPeople's "12 Days of Holiday Cookies" recipes are coming soon! (We've got NEW recipes this year!) Subscribers to SparkPeople's "Recipe of the Day" email newsletter will receive one new cookie or dessert recipe each day, beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1. What a delicious way to get ready for the holidays!
