Make a Bell Jar Ornament
Making a holiday ornament with the kids is great fun and something the whole family can do together. It may even turn into a treasured family tradition. Bell jar ornaments are a fun craft to try, made from these items that you have in the house or can pick up at your local craft store and dollar store. You will need:

Plastic wine glasses without bases
Empty cereal box
Decorative paper
Glitter
Trinkets (Santa, Reindeer, Pine cones, Christmas trees, etc)
Ribbon or pipe cleaner
Glue
Scissors

Instructions:

1. Cut circles from the cereal boxes and decorative paper (slightly bigger than the size of the wine glass rims).

2. Glue the decorative paper circles on the cardboard circles.

3. Glue your trinkets on the cardboard circle.

4. Decorate the wine glass with glitter and glue it, rim down, on the decorated cardboard circle.

5. For use as a tree ornament, attach ribbon or pipe cleaner.

Popcorn
A study by the University of Scranton found that popcorn contains healthy antioxidants called polyphenols, which are good for your heart. Popcorn actually contains more polyphenols than fruits and vegetables (though you still need to eat your fruits and veggies for other nutrients). Keep your popcorn healthy by popping it yourself at home – in a pot, not the microwave. Remember, too much butter and salt takes away from the health benefit.

Dark Chocolate
According to a review published in the British Medical Journal, people who ate more chocolate benefited from a reduction in cardiovascular disease and stroke. Of course, not any old chocolate will do. Chose dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Flavonol, the flavonoid found in cocoa, helps lower blood pressure, improve blood flow and reduce free radical damage.
