We are six days and counting until the end of the year for the LiveLighter team and, for many of us, holidays!

December is a time for celebration with family and friends, whether for Christmas or New Year there are many opportunities to catch up, share a meal and a drink, yet that doesn't mean you need to put your health goals on hold.

This month we have tips to help you navigate the holiday season when it comes to food, drink and moving more.

Australian celebrations at this time of year often end with a 'friendly' game of backyard (or street, park, beach) cricket.

LiveLighter's Peter Edwards has shared the family rules of his annual backyard cricket game in our latest blog.

If you have a favourite rule that's missing, let us know on Facebook.

Still on the last minute gift idea scramble? This year the LiveLighter team are looking forward to gifts that help keep us moving. Active wear to fitbits to sports vouchers can help encourage moving more.

If food inspired gifts are on your hit list, there's still time to whip up  healthy homemade treats - perfect on thier own or as part of a healthy hamper.

Our favourite last minute suggestion is a box of cherries or a fruit and veg hamper. A nutritioun packed treat!

Eating healthier over the holidays can be easy and satisfying. Check out our lighter options to consider for your Christmas lunch and dinner.

If your catering for a crowd, LiveLighter's catering tips add a fun twist to the day and help to avoid the traditional post-Christmas lunch nap.

Needing to quench your thirst? It's easy to forget that alcohol contains energy.  Limiting alcoholic drinks and choosing water instead helps promote good health. Find out more here.

Leftovers? We've got you covered with our Love Your Leftovers blog.

We are excited about the year ahead.

Kick off your year with a free LiveLighter meal plan. Our blog talks through the steps.

In February, LiveLighter is focussing on all things fruit and vegetables as part of the Eat Brighter, LiveLighter campaign.  If you'd like to be involved or would like more detail, send us an email.
