At our house, our biggest Christmas meal is on Christmas eve, Paraguayan style, with all the gnochi with pecorino cheese on top, antipasto, cheeses, cold cuts, tapanadas and different kinds of tapas you can imagen. Surprised

So....... no stepping on that scale on Thursday, Ok?

What a great list of tips! I just went into the lunchroom at work to post it, and on the table there were: a fruitcake, a pecan pie, and a tin of Belgian chocolate cookies. I had some cookies and pie, and skipped the fruitcake, per #9 on the list. Cool

Mariposai - we can make an exception, just for you.... Wink

You do your weigh in on Wednesday, okay? I just went to the management office of the building, only to find a tin of peanut butter fudge, left unprotected on the desk...... Roll eyes

....I LOVE peanut butter fudge.....

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

I'm cool with a Thurs weigh-in. We are doing Christmas brunch this year, so the bulk of our eating will be later that a.m. Usually our Christmas Eve tradition has been to pick a certain ethnicity of food (although paraguayan, oddly enough, has never made the list . . . maybe next year!) and prepare foods with that ethnic theme in mind. But this year, we are just doing a few smaller appetizers after Christmas Eve service - just something lighter since we are having a bigger brunch the next a.m. so Thurs weigh-in works well into my holidays eating plans. Big grin

I have a free pass from Holly to step on the scale tomorrow morning...but...had not anticipated friends dropping by the house this early evening. The true Latina in me served cookies, humus, cheeses, and tons of muchies.......plus some wine.......so tomorrow morning is not looking any better... however......we are ALL so blessed to have the tons of food around our homes. I have been told that the food banks nationwide are down right now. Tongue

so I consider myself blessed to have food and some extra to share too. Wink

Boy, I'm salivating at some of the plans you folks have for food consumption. It's just the Hub and me, so we don't really do anything special. Will head to the store tomorrow to buy munchies - cheeses, crackers, salami, veggies and dip, but that's about it. I will probably be more inclined to make a nice dinner on Saturday when neither of us has to work the next day, so we'll be free to celebrate a little bit more (the Hub works the day after Christmas thru Saturday). Hmmmmm - I have all day off tomorrow, too. Maybe I'll make something nice for Christmas Eve dinner that will give us enough leftovers to munch on Thursday. We'll see.
