I admit that I?m a holiday kinda guy. I don?t get miserable during the winter holidays. I like ?em.
But the one thing that drives me bonkers is the holiday food. The cookies. The snacks. The gift baskets. Oh, don?t get me wrong, I?m not saying they?re bad. They?re good. But they?re good in that very bad way. Rich chocolates. Fancy cheeses.
For the last week my office has been inundated with gift baskets, and it sure doesn?t take long for somebody to crack them open. No matter how many I admit that I?m a holiday kinda guy. I don?t get miserable during the winter holidays. I like ?em.

For the last week my office has been inundated with gift baskets, and it sure doesn?t take long for somebody to crack them open. No matter how many treats are in there, they’re wiped out in minutes like a swarm of locusts flew in.
Now, I try to be good. I try not to give in. But finger foods are a weakness of mine. They call out to me. They lure me in. Ru-usss. You know you want meeee. I?m so small and tasty. Soooo ta-steeee. I really stumble with the chocolate covered pretzels. Or the cheese spread and fancy crackers.
Damn you, holiday temptation!
So while I?m trying like heck to be healthy, to keep the pounds off, these holiday gifs aren?t making life any easier.
