Treats!!

The one thing that I Love and Hate about the Holiday Season is the Yummy Treats! I consumed at least 3000 Calories at work today eating all the yummy treats our customers brought. I just can't stay away from them.

So as I am contemplating how many calories I seriously ate on my drive home from work, I start laughing. I have this image pop-up in my head of Liam.

We went to the mall yesterday to visit Santa. Each of the kids got candy canes from him. Liam was not really happy to be shopping so I thought I would see if a candy cane from Santa might cheer him up. I knew that sugar of any kind would definitely be a mood lifter, (he is my kid, the girl who would rather consume 3 candy bars for lunch than an actual meal.) I was so happy to find out that not only was the candy cane a mood lifter it was a smile maker. Pure Joy and Happiness, look at Liam's face. He definitely is my little boy, if sugar can make him soooo happy!

Moral of the Story: When you want to enjoy a holiday treat, do it with the utmost pleasure and don't worry about the calories, (until January 1st of course.)
