Putting the outrageous amounts of food back in the holidays!

I make no secret of the fact I love to eat. Especially at the holidays. There are so many terrific foods we only have in December, like my mom's peanut-butter fudge, or my co-worker's spiced pecans or whatever the hell they are, they're good. So why, with all this yummy food now and New Year's resolutions just around the corner, why do so many people feel compelled to give lectures about not enjoying holiday food too much? You know, all the damn articles that tell you to only take carrots from the buffet and have a healthy snack before you go anyplace where you might be tempted to enjoy yourself by eating yummy holiday food that only comes once a year. You'd think they'd just be in annoying women's magazines, but now they're in the newspapers too. Geez, like I can't come up with enough freakin' guilt on my own.

I was bitching about this the other night (while eating fresh chocolate-chip cookies) and [livejournal.com profile] change_my_mind said it sounded like an Unsent Letter in the works. But now, thanks to the marvelous [livejournal.com profile] lunamoonsong, we have something much better!

I've never understood why anyone would pass up the pies, dressing, or any other special "only served this one day" type of food. On the other hand, I love food. I may be the wrong person to ask.

Fxxk 'em. I eat what I want, and as much as I want. That's why I work out four + days a week. I LOVE FOOD! I WANT TO EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT ANY TIME I WANT! Moderation in everything, except gluttony. That's my motto.

We're on our 5th half gallon of egg nog since it started appearing in stores. I could bathe in the stuff. I start to freak out the day after xmas and start buying it like crazy. I wonder if I could freeze it?

I'll pass on the eggnog, but otherwise I'm all for it!

I should throw an Erev Christmas party for my non-Christian friends...my mom used to do that, but the problem is, I don't have many non-Christian friends around here.
