Here we are in the holiday season again—time does pass much too quickly. This is the time of year to give thanks for all that we have. “Black Friday” is the following day, which is sometimes hard to wrap your brain around since we just spend the day before giving thanks. Welcome to America.
Here is a little tip to help keep off those extra holiday pounds. It is very simple. You can apply this ban to food and to the array of people that one tends to encounter over the holidays. You will just have to change the words from a noun to an adjective. Cheese and nuts are the food to stay away from and I highly recommend staying away from cheesy people and nut jobs. Trust me, you will feel much better when the holidays pass.
