Holiday gatherings

With all the Christmas goodies going around, including what I'm making at home, I know this is going to be bad for weight and skin. After all, most of the things have a lot of rich ingredients we aren't used to.

That means that after the New Year, some of us may need diets and blackhead remover to get our bodies set to rights again. Of course, it would be easier if we exercised more self-control during the holidays, but I know it's sometimes hard to do.

Folks where we work will bring in their favorite holiday items, like cookies and candies. Then, we may be attending parties and gatherings where the offerings are much richer than we are used to eating on a day-to-day basis. It's hard to turn down these foods all the time, and we wind up partaking more and more in order to be polite. Besides, a social gathering tends to make us eat a bit more, don't you think?

Ah, well. There's always January.
