I have been chided for neglecting this blog. I was actually thinking about posting something yesterday but what I had in mind would have involved uploading pictures and for some reason that simple task seemed like too much bother. Maybe later.

We had our usual “merry little Christmas” which, as usual, involved eating too much. You know… a few days before Christmas I commented somewhere, on one of those “things to never give as Christmas gifts” posts, in disagreement with the post, that food makes excellent gifts because it never ends up forgotten in the darkest corner of the closet. Well, I would like to slightly revise my opinion on that. I still think food makes excellent gifts but perhaps something other than candy, nuts and fruit. Not that candy, nuts and fruit don’t make good gifts, it’s just that everyone who gives food gives candy, nuts and fruit. Or at least that’s what I was thinking yesterday after eating way too much candy and nuts on the two days before but now that the candy’s gone I’m thinking I wouldn’t have minded if one or two more people had given candy.

Oh well. Should I start my diet tomorrow or wait until the new year?
