HOLIDAY EATING TIPS

 

1.  **Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday  spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately.. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. ****

****2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare.. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat.. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think It's Christmas! ****

****3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. ****


****4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. ****

****5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a  Holiday  party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? ****

****6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. ****

****7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 


8. Same for pies. Apple,**** Pumpkin,**** Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? ****

****9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards. ****


****10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by: ****

****"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" ****

Have a great holiday season--** and Merry Christmas!!!

he he he...thanks Ang.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

So True! I especially like your last paragraph!

If you subscribe to that attitude in your post Ang, you're a woman after my own heart.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Words to live by.  I'm printing this and posting it on my refrigerator.

 

@Quest--  you've known Angie long enough to recognize the evil and the angel inside.

 

Merry Christmas to you both. (Willie slips off for a second piece of blueberry pie)

Wow!~ I'm having my 3rd Grand Cosmopolitan and I'd forgotten I'd posted this. what a wonderful surprise that so many of you enjoyed this post. Thank you and my favorite is #4 because I drive a stick shift. :)


Ang25 ( ) posted Sun, 19 December 2010 at 5:09 PM

#1, to Quest - makes me think of Letty's neighbor's. You know the Rum-aholics.

#2 brings back fond childhood memories, my grandfather guarded the eggnog and none of the children were allowed near it. I remember trying one year. Nope, couldn't get near it.

#3 yes Rosie, love gravy, I have been known to eat it by itself with a spoon.

4 already mentioned above

#5 thru #10 Duh!!!!!!

:) so glad I could share what someone else passed on to me.

Merry Christmas to all!

Hugs,

Ang

ps yes on my 3rd Cpsmo hehehe or ho ho ho
