    EVERYTHING! On this day I will focus on eating very very very very very slow ~ and holding back on appetizers the best I can!!!
  • For me, it would be: cheese souffle, sausage patties, peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge, and chocolate cream pie

    Anything that has bread, cheese, potatoes, and meat in it. Oh, and wine. But I can never say no to wine no matter what time ir year (or day) it is

    We don't have family here (just the 4 of us), so my only temptations will be whatever I make. My downfall is sweets, but I can't NOT make cookies for Christmas time. So I'll just have to be very observant of how many I eat instead of eating them all day long!

    Exactly have to make cookies at Christmas its not a holiday if you do not especially if you have children. Since there is only 3 of us I sent 1/2 of my cookies to the local soup kitchen for the homeless for their dinner. That way I do not eat them. :)

    Meatballs ( I make mine with grape jelly and ketchup), my sister makes the best homemade cookies, I will probably make pasta salad and my husband will be cooking bbq.

    Sheesh... where do I even begin!

    I will be eating all of these things... honey-baked ham, hashbrown casserole, mushroom bisque, a truckload of cheese and crackers, various dips, cinnamon rolls, stuffed strawberry french toast, sausage-cheese breakfast casserole, beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce, various cookies, chocolate truffles, and cheesecake. I will also partake of wine and champagne.

    I might not count calories at all the 24th-26th while I'm off visiting family for the holidays. I can get back to business when I get home. Three days isn't going to hurt me. :-)
