Christmas celebrations

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat.

Why is it that saying about a goose? Is Christmas not supposed to be all about the turkey?

The other word is certainly right though..fat!

The festive period is all about eating...everything about it is always food, food and more food...not that I am complaining of course.

For all the dieters out there Christmas is a time when they can forget what they are not supposed to be eating; put all the calorie counting behind them and tuck into a roast dinner with all the trimmings and a mince pie or two, lovely!

But really...you go out for a Chritsmas meal with work mates, you eat the chocolates that people bring into the office and then you come home and much on a mince pie...and all this is before 1st December...well not quite, but you get the drift.

By the time all the pre-Christmas day celebrations have finished you have probably eaten your entire body weight twice over so when 25th December finally arrives you think to your self: "not another bloody turkey" as you shovvle the remaining bits into your mouth along with a watery brussel sprout.

Don't get me wrong though - I do love to eat and I love Christmas and all the celebrations that lead up to it...but by the end of it I am deffinetly a clothing size bigger and will start 2010, as I did at the start of 2009, wanting to loose weight.
