Today’s Blog Post
So how many turkey dinners have you participated in so far?
By now most Canadians have had about three Christmas Functions that that they have attended. At least one will have been with turkey being served. And the others will have had lots of sweet Christmas delights.
It is the one time of the year that we will take in a little extra… and enjoy a few more bites that we should. It all just tastes so good!
Then there is the guilt factor that accompanies all that extra stuff that you eat. It is a downer for sure to know that after savouring that one delicious morsel, you will have to hold back on so much extra to compensate for what you have done.
I have found the perfect answer to the extras that we eat. It is confirmed to be true because I found it on the Internet. It is the best thing yet to help me deal with my deep feelings and terrible guilt.
Are you ready for my annual presentation of why you should and can eat lots of Christmas Cookies?
Here goes…
Christmas Cookie Rules...
1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free..
2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.
3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calorie free, (rule #1) yours is also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.
4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.
6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!
7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.
8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate.
We all know how calories like to CLING!
10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule!
