The holidays are quickly approaching, which means you will soon be facing temptation - stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, pecan pie, Christmas cookies, chocolate, and many more holiday favorites just begging to be eaten. How can you resist?

For most people the holidays mean loosening the belt buckle and making room for a few extra pounds to start the New Year. Many people will work to lose this weight over the next few months while others will watch the scale creep up year after year. This is definitely one holiday tradition to be avoided.

Here are some tips to help you enjoy the holiday fare without sacrificing your waistline.

Portion Control

There is no law that says your plate has to be overflowing at the holidays. Yes, the options are endless and you may want to have some of everything; however, you do not need a normal portion size of everything. This is a good time to cut your normal servings in half to make room for all the extra foods you want and prevent you from carrying the extra calories around for weeks to come.

Seconds

Before heading back to the buffet line or asking someone to pass the potatoes listen to your body. Are you really hungry or just eating more because everyone is still sitting around the table? If your stomach says "no more" start helping with cleanup to avoid the temptation to fill another plate or suggest moving away from the table to continue your conversation.

Desserts

Undoubtedly there will be numerous goodies to chose from. You have two options to avoid calorie overload. Decide which dessert is your favorite and stick with one serving or if several are tempting give yourself "mini" servings of each so you can sample a little of everything without going overboard.

Alcohol

Decide in advance when you will enjoy a drink, for example after dinner only. If you have a plan in place you are less likely to go overboard. One alcoholic beverage quickly adds 200-300 extra calories.

Snacks

Often when we sit around visiting there is a bowl of candy or some other treat nearby. Limit yourself to one or two pieces. If this is not feasible move the treats out of reach or out of sight if necessary. Another option is to wait and have your dessert as an afternoon snack instead of immediately following a meal. Healthier snack choices include mixed nuts, almond bark covered pretzels, or party Chex mix.

Activity

Holidays are intended as a time to spend with family. That does not mean you have to sit all day visiting. You can catch up on what is going on in each others lives when taking a walk after lunch or shooting a game of hoops in the driveway. Look at where your family is gathering and decide what options you have to get up and moving after a filling holiday meal. It is a safe bet that the children at your holiday gathering will not be entertained sitting and visiting or watching a ball game most of the day. Take a break from the adults in the afternoon to interact with younger family members. This will give you a chance to add some physical activity to your holiday.

The holidays are a time for family and friends as well as all the delicious holiday foods. I do not recommend spoiling your holiday fun by trying to count calories. By following a few simple tips you can reduce your normal holiday intake while still enjoying all the foods you like and avoid adding inches to your waistline.

When you think of Valentines Day, typically your thoughts venture toward valentine gifts and all things heart-shaped candies, chocolate, balloons, greeting cards, jewelry, etc. and couples deeply in love gazing into each others eyes.

Because Valentines Day is for lovers, right?

Actually no. Ladies, there is joy to be had on this infamous day of pink and red, no matter your couples status. Here are some fun ideas for the annual day of love that cover the spectrum of companionship: single, dating, committed relationship, or recent break-up.

If Youre Single . . .

Dont allow yourself to be one of the cynical singles who scowl at any hint of Valentines Day decorations or gifts. Instead: embrace the day!

Thats right. Were in the new millennium, a time when being single is fabulous. Sex & the Citys Carrie Bradshaw made being single more appealing than ever before. You dont have to wait for a significant other to get you a gift buy it yourself! Few things make a girls heart flutter more than Valentines Day jewelry. From a modest bracelet to a diamond ring one of the joys of being single is you can give yourself the gift youd be giving your significant other.

And there are ways to enjoy the day other than buying yourself a gift. Remember when Carrie threw herself a party after years of buying gifts for her friends wedding and baby showers? Transfer that idea to Valentines Day, and have a blast:

Host a party for just you and the girls

Take yourself out on a date, by yourself, to a museum, the movies, dinner or any combination of the three

Buy Valentines Day cards and pass them out to people who are dear to you

Help make someone elses Valentines Day better by volunteering at a non-profit or charity for the day, such as a battered womens shelter, a soup kitchen or the Goodwill.

If Youre Dating . . .

Youve been dating a guy, but youre not yet exclusive, and you dont know if he plans on spending the evening with you, another girl, or the guys. First ask yourself: Do I really want to spend Valentines Day with him?

It is, after all the most romantic day of the year.

If the answer is yes, this can be an opportunity to take the relationship a step further by:

Cooking him a nice dinner at your place

Offering to bring dinner to him at his place

Setting up a double date with friends (so you can get their feedback on your new beau later)

Asking him to set up a double date with some of his friends (you can learn a lot about a guy by spending time with his friends)

If youre flying solo on the big day, you can live the day as a single gal (see the Single subheading above for ideas).

If Youre in a Committed Relationship . . .

Whether youve just moved in together, he just popped the question with a diamond engagement ring, youre newlyweds or youve been together for a number of years, Valentines Day is an opportunity to specifically set aside time for your relationship.
So take advantage of it!

You can start the day with an exchange of gifts. For ideas, keep in mind that Valentines Day jewelry, chocolates and flowers are traditional gifts for a reason there are few who would protest these types of gifts. But rather than going to the place where you spent Valentines Day last year, or where you spend the day every year, be spontaneous and mix things up a bit.

Knowing your significant others interests, tailor a surprise event to both of your liking such as:

A couples massage

Something fun and silly like playing Laser Tag or going to the video arcade to compete in video games

Something crazy that youve never done before but the two of you have always wanted to do, like bungee jumping or hang gliding

Take a hot air balloon ride

Pop the question - theres no better surprise for Valentines Day than receiving an engagement ring

Planning a Valentines Day different from what youve experienced before will give you something to feel good about, give your beloved something to brag about, rekindle the spark or keep the spark going.

If Youve Just Been Through a Break-Up . . .

When youve just dumped someone or youve just been dumped, as a newly-single, the explosion of pink and red that define Valentines Day can leave you depressed, craving romance and longing for your ex.

You just need a little extra TLC. Heres a few ideas to really take good care of you on this special day:

A day at the spa get the most luxurious package that you can afford, and absolutely enjoy spoiling yourself

Retail therapy doing a little damage to the credit card never hurt anybody, and Valentines Day jewelry may be the perfect pick-me-up

Unconditional love Spending the day with someone you love and who unconditionally loves you a manicure with your grandma, grabbing lunch with your dad, or catching a matinee with your mom may be just what you need

Theres something for everyone on Valentines Day. Just look at the annual celebration of love as an excuse to celebrate life, and you are sure to find something fun and enjoyable to do. Enjoying the most romantic day of the year can be achieved with or without a valentine.

Halloween activities are enjoyed both by Adults and kids. The term Halloween is derived from the Halloween day which is celebrated on 31st October since many years. A large number of superstitions and symbols are related with Halloween such as ghosts, fairies, witches, goblins etc.

In Halloween activities there is a custom of decorating with leaves, cornstalks and pumpkins. While organizing fun Halloween activities you must see to it that they are harmless to others and they should not involve any activities which may be injurious. They should be fun for all present and not only the organizers.

Nowadays, Fun Halloween activities are organized on birthday parties and other kid's party and kids have a gala time enjoying these activities. Special costumes are worn in these activities and kids dress up like witches and ghosts to celebrate Halloween party. Different types of pranks are played in Halloween parties. These pranks are enjoyed by both kids and adults.

In a Halloween party Fun Halloween activities play a very important role apart from the indoor and outdoor decoration which must be done up according to the theme to give a scary look. By giving a horrific and scary look to the decoration the special effects of the Halloween party can be attained. The food and drinks served in this party should also be devilish and freaky in nature. This will create the perfect atmosphere in the Halloween party.

Before selecting the fun activities to be organized in party, you must keep in mind that these are enjoyed by people of all ages attending the party. It must be as pleasant and enjoyable in watching as in playing. Skill and fun games can make part of Halloween activities in a party.

Bobbing for apples and ghost story telling had been traditional activities in a Halloween party. Other trendy games which call for doing disgusting and scaring acts by participants generally go well in a Halloween party. Resemblance of blood, human body parts by toys and other things can create a scary yet healthy atmosphere.

Blind touch game in which participants are made to touch something which will resemble blood and human parts are perfect for Halloween activities. Use of worms, bugs, snakes etc. made of rubber or other materials and making kids touch them blind folded and telling them that it is real can also be great fun. In a big group of kids, you can also organize freeze dancing where the kids will dance to the tune of a CD player and will stop dancing and freeze in scary postures as soon as the music stops.

If you are a peace lover and do not want too much noise and music etc. you can opt for arranging fun Halloween activities which can be played peacefully. There are lots of Halloween riddles, puzzles, crosswords, worksheets and books etc. which can be enjoyed thoroughly by children without making too much of noise. However, a Halloween party without noise and screams will seem to be incomplete. So, you must put in few activities with good round of screaming and shouting so as to make children get the real feel of Halloween party.

Adult Halloween Penguin Costume

Customer Review: Best Costume Ever
No one at the office Halloween party could believe my boyfriend actually wore this, but man... looks great when you are dancing under a black light strobelight! All the ladies wanted to dance with the Penguin. Shipped fast from Brands on Sale, Inc. This is the third costume I'd purchased from them, and I think I'll use them regularly from now on.

How many times have you seen on your local news, stories about children being hit by a car on Halloween night because they dashed out into the street without thinking or ran out between parked cars? It breaks my heart when I hear something like that. For a child Halloween is such an exciting and fun night that sometimes they forget all the safety rules you've ever taught them. They are so excited to get to the next house that they shoot across the street without even thinking of looking both ways. I've seen it many times in my neighborhood (thankfully no cars were coming); especially when kids are following each other and one falls behind. They dart across the street just trying to catch up with their friends.

On a normal day, most parents know what safety precautions to take when it comes to their child's safety, but do you know the extra lengths we should go to on Halloween night? It is our responsibility to make sure the children are safe. Even the littlest precautions can mean a lot.

• If you're driving, you have to be aware of the children. Drive SLOWLY! Watch for children to run out between cars or in the middle of the street. This is so important to stress if you have a teenage driver. When backing down your driveway be careful to make sure it is clear. Do not pass stopped cars, they may be unloading children.
• Have your child wear clothing with reflective markings or tape. There are also glow sticks, pumpkin flashlights and other similar items that you can buy to have your child wear around their neck or pin to their costume so that they are clearly visible to motorists after dark.
• Accompany your child around the neighborhood. If you can't, make sure another adult is with them to supervise. As a parent you know if your child is "old" enough to go around the neighborhood with their friends without you, however it helps to have them wear a watch so they know when the trick-or-treat hours are over and when to head home. Always know exactly where they will be and what route they're taking.
• When picking out a costume, look for one made of flame-retardant material. Avoid loose-fitting costumes or billowing material which could accidentally come into contact with a flame. Make sure they have on comfortable shoes that fit.
• Check your child's costume and make sure it's not dragging the ground where they could trip and hurt themselves. Face paint is always a good substitution for a mask, however if they do have to wear one make sure they have nose and mouth openings and large enough eye holes so as not to block their line of vision.
• Make sure they know to only go to houses that are well lit and ones that they know someone is home. They should never enter a stranger's home.
• Have them bring their candy home first before eating anything. Go through it with them and throw out anything you're not sure about. Have them eat dinner before they go out trick-or-treating. That way they're not as hungry and won't fill up on too much candy.

On Halloween night it's tradition in my family to order pizza and have it delivered. It's such a hectic night with trying to get everyone situated into their costume that it's easier than fixing a big dinner - plus the kids love it. But remember to order early because apparently it's not just a tradition in our household. Pizza has become the new "Halloween night dinner" and is among the top five nights of the year for home deliveries along with - the day before Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Super Bowl Sunday.

All parents want their children to be safe. Just use common sense on Halloween night. It's really important especially for younger children, that you go out with them so that you can be their eyes and ears. To them safety is not their top priority - so it has to be yours!

If you were to ask anyone what the most iconic representation of Halloween is, the most common answer would be a carved pumpkin, or as it as commonly referred to, a Jack o' lantern.

The folklore behind Jack traces its origins to an Irish legend (or ghost story) about a greedy but crafty farmer named Jack. Jack managed to trick the devil into climbing a tree, and after doing so, sealed the devil in place by carving a cross on the tree. The devil did not take this lightly, and laid a hex on Jack - condemning him to eternal limbo on Earth. As he wanders the earth, he carries an ember that the devil tossed him that would never burn out - as it was from the flames of Hell. Jack carved out a turnip and put the ember inside it - wandering for a place to rest his soul. For this, he retained the name "Jack of the Lantern", which then was contracted to "Jack o' lantern".

History behind carving pumpkins dates back to before the Great Famine, when many Irish immigrated to the United States. Carving lanterns from vegetables started with turnips or swede - and did not acquire the name "jack o' lantern" until the early-mid 19th century. The practice of carving pumpkins is associated with a time of harvest, and did not become associated with Halloween until the mid to late 19th century.

The Jack o' lantern in its early years was always depicted with a face - and that face would be of many different forms, from comic to monstrous. In the late 20th century, artists began using precision instruments to put more artistic flavor to Jack, making him look like cartoon characters, people, or various symbols.

Have fun scooping out Jack this Fall!

From Spiderman to Flintstones, witches to ghosts, medieval costumes and Disney princess clothes, there is no dearth to the options available when you are looking for your costume. One of the most popular and sought after is the Gene Simmons Halloween costume.

A typical Gene Simmons Halloween costume should consist of a black stretch jumpsuit and a cape with silver trimmings and loop to fit around your fingers. A silver colored poly foam chest and shoulder piece with the black cape around the neck brings you closer to looking like your icon. A studded dog collar choker and arm bands with vinyl platform and boots in black with silver accents will make you the enviable Gene Simmons impersonator to the hilt! And of course, you can always use your imagination and make changes to the costume. Add the Gene Simons mask with the ever-famous tongue sticking or if you can really extend your tongue out, well, all the best!

Gene Simmons Halloween costumes, wigs and masks impersonating Gene, axe shaped guitars and some blood spitting - fire breathing make an interesting look for the evening.

Every tour has bought Kiss thousands of fans, all of whom remember them by all the memorabilia they can get their hands on. Besides, masks, wigs, t-shirts, Halloween costumes are a favorite.

Be it the music that the band belted out, the ear splitting amplifiers and lyrics that praised sex, the on stage persona of the members; fire breathing, blood spitting antics on the stage, the various business ventures from Gene Simmons, they have all been huge successes. Every year something new is added to the already multi-million businesses from Kiss franchises, authoring a book, featuring in movies and reality TV shows, everything Gene Simmons does is with flair! Of course, the humungous fan following and the amazing business sense that Gene Simmons possesses has stood the tests of time.
