Getting Through the Holidays in 2020 Topic

Bubbe 11/12/20
The holidays won’t be quite the same in our family this year. We still will celebrate but not quite so interactively.
Managing food is something I need to think about way in advance and plan. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. It’s not just the food- although the food is great- but the smells of cooking, the warmth of the house, the family just hanging out.
I have already made decisions about what I will eat that day. First of importance is the dessert. We are getting a very special dessert this year called a “piecaken” which is a dessert version of a truducken. So I work backwards. I want the dessert so I will have a really skimpy meal. Mostly salad and a little turkey. The dessert will be a zillion calories I’m sure. But, once a year- I have to do it!
I can usually get through Chanukah and Christmas fine. I just control my portions and if I want something special, I try to incorporate into my calories. To me, undoing all the hard work I’ve done in the last 6 mos would be a travesty! Sadly, there will be less parties, get togethers in our world but hopefully next year will be brighter!
Happy Holidays to all.
