The thing about having family over for the holidays is that the whole food thing goes into overdrive. My three aunts from New York area over. With (relatively) so many people here the dynamics are certainly different. I mean, if it was just me and my parents we’d probably be a heck of a lot more low key. This is a time to celebrate, so the table’s always full. The other day I made two pies. A while ago I made a batch of cookies. My mom’s been cooking so many good things. God, I’m really so used to having quiet Christmases that all of this is a bit much. A lot of people expect to gain weight over the holidays but the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. After all of this food though? This food is really hitting me. Seems that all I’ve done over the past few days is eat, socialize and sleep.
No worries, I guess. When the new year rolls around I’m going to hit the pavement hard and get the mileage in. Life is good. It’s more important to enjoy this time more than anything else.
