Christmas is all about the food too. Some snacks are only available during Christmas. I don't mean fruit cake, although fruit cake is only on store shelves during the Christmas season but I never see sausage balls, date balls or peanut butter balls. There are a lot of balls that are only around during the Christmas season. Some cakes are more common around Christmas, besides fruit cake. I hardly ever see coconut cake or Hershey bar cake or even red velvet cake any other time of year.
New Years Day is all about the food too. New Years Eve, you may have drank too much and feel really bad but on New Year's Day you have to eat pork, some sort of greens and black-eyed peas. It has something to do with being unlucky if you don't eat that food on New Years Day. Personally, I think we all should eat Millionaire Pie or Millionaire Cake on New Years Day. Maybe eat a 100 Grand candy bar. Anything to make money come our way this year!! Maybe we should call Bill Gates and ask him what he usually eats or maybe Warren Buffett. It seems that almost everyone that eats the pork, greens and black-eyed peas are doing something wrong.
Oh but then comes January 2nd and we are all miserable and have 10 extra pounds to get rid of so we all join a gym or actually go to the gym that we are members of. A few years ago, my OB/GYN asked me if I worked out and I told him that I paid my gym membership every month and he explained to me that merely being a member of a gym would not make me healthy. I actually have to "go to" the gym to get healthy!! What?? That explained why I had not lost an ounce since I joined the gym!! Oh well. Off to get that muffin top off again!! Oh who am I kidding? My muffin top has turned into a pound cake!!! Here's to making and keeping our New Year's Resolution in 2013!!
