Today, it's about getting real about “special” food!
Yall, we are lucky enough to live in a country where food is bountiful. We have 24-7 access to Wal-Mart, which carries every vice you can eat. Sure, your mom only makes her special peanut butter cookies once a year, but what’s to stop you from making it in the middle of July (don't do that)? The point? There is no such thing as “limited time offer” when it comes to food.

So, consider this when you head out this weekend: instead of placing so much emphasis on the food traditions surrounding the holidays, create memories by interacting with your family in a new way that is not food-related. Institute an annual Christmas jog through the park. Break out the puzzles. Play freeze tag. Whatever, just remember – people are a limited-time offer, not food.
It bears saying again: people are a limited-time offer, not food.
Focus on the people.
And have a lovely weekend. We'll talk about setting realistic goals once we come back to the reality of Monday. :)

I like the idea of focussing on people and not the food. That will help! Thanks for all your tips!
Hmm, I think I've heard this before! Good to hear it again, though!
Thanks Jen and Karen! It helps me, too! We can always make whatever potato casserole...can't always squeeze our kids. :)
