Pumpkin. This superfood is filled an abundance of disease-fighting nutrients including vitamins C and E, potassium, and magnesium. It also contains one of the richest supplies of beta-carotene, a plant carotenoid that is converted to vitamin A in the body. This vitamin's powerful antioxidant properties may reduce the risk of certain cancers and protect against heart disease. Pumpkin is also rich in fiber and very low in calories.

Quote of the month
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays - let them overtake me unexpectedly - waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!"
