The holiday season is notorious for being a busy time of year allowing us to make excuses for skipping workouts.  Why not burn calories and get festive at the same time?  Try dancing to some of your favorite holiday tunes. You can even purchase a Christmas cardio CD to get you motivated. Get an average calorie count for such activities as cooking your holiday feast, playing in the snow, or power shopping at www.caloriecount.com.  It is possible to make your fitness list, and check it twice during these busy months.
