    I don't weigh that much, so I don't know if 5 pounds in a month is realistic for me, but I'm sure going to try!

    My family always watches National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation at least a couple of times during the holiday season. Been watching it every year since I was a little kid, I know that movie backwards and forwards!

    Visiting the Christmas Village in Bernville, PA. It's a farm decked out with tons of lights and Christmas displays (including a large train display in the one building). It's so beautiful. Buses come from all over the U.S. and Canada to visit.there.

    Just for fun: What is your favorite December holiday tradition that does NOT involve food? We are Catholic and as a Family we always celebrate Advent which is the time of waiting for Christ the four weeks before Christmas. We always have our Advent wreath up and we wait until about a week before Christmas to put up our tree . Even when the kids were little we discussed that we are waiting for Christ and it's not about the gifts we get but of giving of ourselves. My prayer for everyone this Christmas season is to take just a second out of your busy schedule to stop to remember what Christmas really is, about Christ, to remember him and people around us. Blessings to Everyone.
