Eating Season

Yesterday started off the 2011 Eating Season which, by my calendar extends through my January 6 birthday (you can't get older without ice cream and cake).  It was a splendid feast as my sister is a wonderful cook and her assistant is marvelous as well :-)

The Eating Season finds many of us, myself included, saying things we usually wouldn't:
Why, yes, I'd love another piece of pie.  Whip cream?  Of course...
A little more eggnog won't hurt and, while we're at it, let's add just a touch more rum...
Let's make cookies for Santa!  Oh, Dear, Santa can't eat all these.  Mommy will have to have one of the extras - better make that three.  We don't want them to go to waste...

January will find me noticing the jeans are just a little snug.  This will, invariably, be followed by the realization that **GASP!!** Spring Break (aka Swimsuit Season) is only two months away.  While I'm getting in extra time at the gym, I will be telling myself that next Eating Season I will be less enthusiastic...  Yea, Right!
