Christmas dinner is a bit of a challenge when the whole family's vegetarian. That's what Linda McCartney found, anyway, when she, Paul and the kids first gave up meat in the 1970s. In fact, the main dish at their first meatless Christmas was macaroni and cheese.

McCartney tells FemaleFirst.co.uk, "We had all the trimmings but we needed something to simulate the turkey. So Linda made macaroni cheese. It was good, then she let it stand so it went solid and I was able to slice it. It kind of worked so we called it the macaroni turkey." He adds, "today we've moved on and you can buy the Linda McCartney roast."

I love macaroni and cheese, but there's something just wrong with having it for Christmas. Plus it has way more calories and fat than a few slices skinless turkey breast, so if you're not morally opposed to cooking a bird, it might be wise to stick with tradition.

"Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head..," says Paul McCartney in the well-known Beatles tune A Day in the Life. It's a very common thing to do, isn't it? You wake up and immediately begin your day of activities; showering, brushing your teeth, combing your hair, eating breakfast, racing to work, and so on. A day in the life, indeed.

Could it be that this routine is what causes sixty-five percent of Americans to report feeling back pain in the morning? Because circulation is slowed during our inactive state of sleep, inflammatory substances can become trapped in blood, thus reducing the flow of healing oxygen and nutrients. As a result, many people wake up feeling quite sore.

Doctors suggest stretching your spine when you wake up to get your blood moving again. For a list of simple stretches you can do after your morning alarm sounds, click here.
