Well I just found this in my E-mail.......Some of it reminded me of some of my TKer friends!
I think its cute.......Enjoy!
With the holidays close by here are some Holiday Eating Tips.
Some suggestions that we all should follow at this time of year!
1. 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.
(the above reminds me of something BP would say!)
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine
single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch.
You can't 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!
(this one is for me....I LOVE eggnog 
)
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.
(BP again)
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?
(again....guess who, also Robin
...hey your going on a cruise...so eat up....EAT UP!)
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.
(Guess who this is for...yup Ann)
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?
(If I remember right I think it was PC who really like pies and pastry,..but this also reminded me of another. ( )
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.
( I have always wondered what the heck ANYBODY saw in fruitcake, so this would be me)
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.
(This one is for Robin , because I know if I was going on a cruise..this is the way I would (and have)do it....FREE FOOD!)
Reread tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
( hopefully this is all of us! although I would rather have a glass of wine)
Its funny when ever I think of food...I think of BP!???
