Post Christmas depression…
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006 | General
I LOVE Christmas. I LOVE going to church with the family Christmas Eve and I love spending Christmas Day with the Folks and family. Opening gifts, sharing the joys of the holiday time and the food. The spread that R.’s mom puts out every year is phenominal, nevermind she probably spent our inheritance in gifts, as we always have present after present to open. But the cookies, candy treats and the lunch/dinner with potatoe casserole, croissants, Moose Milk (kinda like egg nog but better if you ask me 
Whole lotta whiskey in that), ham for others, fondue (homemade which was to die for)… and fruit and muffins, then orange rolls and cheesecake… Oh my I’m feeling full just writing this.
However, it is this time that I suffer from Post Christmas Depression. No more excuses to go shopping. No more daily cookie treats in honor of the season. No more chocolate delights shared with others in the spirit of the holidays. It’s now time to face the ending of the year and welcoming in of the new year with extra pounds to fight off from the over indulgment during the festivities and that cup or two of Moose Milk, which till this Christmas I was in calorie denial and learned that oh, only one cup of MM is over 400 calories. YIKES!I tend to justify my overindulgment in that this is the only time of year where I really cut loose and enjoy a handful of M&M’s and 5 cookies at a time.
But, back to reality. The next BIG event is New Year’s of Course. Where I indulge in snacky treats and champagne and more champagne. Then nurse the head all day New Year’s Day, with thoughts on how I can improve myself for 2007. I’ll save the New Year’s resolution speech for my next Blog entry. But for now I’ll tend to the treadmill for an extra 1/2 hour in hopes to burn those extra calories off, to make room for more. 
I hope everyone had a fantastic and wonderful Christmas!
