Try buying some of the giant plastic candy canes, turn them upside
down to use as golf clubs. Then add white, red and green yarn
balls, add a few hoops for the holes and you have a game of Candy
Cane putt-putt.

Whatever
Happened to Gym Class?
Not a recent article but one well worth revisiting. This
is By Salynn Boyles and is a WebMD Feature article.
It's an article on West Middle School
in Downey, Calif. and their high-tech fitness
facility that allows them to race stationary bicycles on virtual
courses against computer-generated opponents, and keep track of
their fitness levels over time using handheld devices. It also
has information on the fitness levels of students throughout the
U.S.

If you still can't get enough you can always try looking
in the PE_TALK
and NASPE_L
archives.
You can type in holidays to get a plethora of ideas or you can
be more specific and type in the name of the holiday you need
an activity for.
If you are afraid of offending anyone you can always type in winter,
winter activities, or winter games. You will find ideas on skiing,
skating, bob sledding, etc.
