· Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year’s Day. You can do that in January. This is the time for circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and a vat of eggnog.
· If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on.
· Drink as much eggnog as you can, quickly. It's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip!
· Chocolate, apple, mincemeat, pumpkin. Have a slice of each. If you don't like apple, have two chocolates and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labour Day?
· As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
