DARK BAWGS Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Happy Holidays and a great New Year to All! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this forum and all of the contributors. Over the years I have participated in many forums but never one that was so active, helpful and fun.Yes I am far too verbose but being on my own after so long you folks are the only ones I can really let loose with. I never take offense when someone disagrees with me (no matter how wrong they are). You are all great!The help, advice (guess that is redundant) and just good info I have gotten from all of you has been so pleasing to me. I think that there have been times that I thought I should stop kidding myself and quit gaming - most people at my age sit around waiting for the grand kids to visit so they can live vicariously through them. I have never been one to live through the eyes of others so you folks have kept me "young at heart" and still having fun and enjoyment gaming.Thank you all very much, and I wish you all the very best of the Holiday Season and the most wonderful and glorious New Year!

DARK BAWGS Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 CHRISTMAS EATING TIPS1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare.. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!3. if something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? LabourDay?9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read these tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.Have a wonderful Christmas season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
