THE SWEET JOY OF THE HOLIDAYS

Oh the sweet JOY of the holidays!
This is the time of year when we indulge
or sometimes overindulge when we say
with all those cookies, candies and cakes!!

We all are supposed towhen we wish each other a
with our toasts of

CHAMPAGNE and...

lovely and lively libations

...and more cookies

as we celebrate
around the tree

Then there's the irresistible Christmas candies

like candy canes
Even some dipped in hot chocolate

and cupcakes

or iced cookies made of

gingerbread

And when you've finally had enough...like this gingerbread man hasat the stroke of midnight
with that sweet ending to 2010
we can stop the madness,
put down the drinks, cakes, candies and cookies
and get going on our diets!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
2011!!
See you at the gym
