I’ve started to develop an intense love/hate relationship with Holidays. On the one-hand, they take an ordinary day and make it special. They give us something to look forward to – a little variety to the daily grind. And last but certainly not least, they allow us to slip into Bacchus style eating habits.

I mean, I have a cornucopia that is spilling out with grapes and sweet meats on the table right now. And by grapes and sweet meats, I really mean tortilla chips and tootsie rolls.

I don’t know why I overindulge (every. damn. holiday), other than a primitive instinct that sweet things are good and that we must eat in an abundance because Thanksgiving is coming or something? It doesn’t make sense. There is really no end in site to the gluttony train once the holidays start.

So really this is just a “check yourself before you wreck yourself” post for myself. Holidays are indeed fun but they don’t have to turn into benders.

Halloween out.
