Jingle Walk Time
Just when the days are getting really short and the temperature is dropping like a rock, and the last thing you want to do is to go out in it…neighborhoods transform into lighted fairylands. Boring malls become winter wonderlands. Downtown streets twinkle with lights, bows and greenery.
You can stay inside and watch Christmas specials or QVC from the treadmill to get into the holiday mood. But even better is to join in a holiday charity walk like the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis. Or find a local holiday lights night walk such as the hundreds of free walks hosted around the country by volkssport walking clubs.
Round up your friends and relatives, put on reindeer horns or Rudolph noses, and get out and enjoy the beauty and fun of a holiday walk. You can use my Walk Finder to locate walks of various kinds by state.
