excellent way to get moving vs. sitting on the couch after eating a holiday meal.<\/p>\n<p>Divide your friends and family into teams of two and create a pool tournament bracket.<\/p>\n<p>Each team contributes a few dollars, and the winning pool tournament team wins the pot (or another prize of choice) at the end of the night.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #a00000;\"><strong>#9 Choose Active
