The Big Day

The Big Day is coming.  The Big Day where we all spend hours shopping for the food, preparing the food, and cleaning the house, so we can have the family over for dinner day.  Is it a day where we let ourselves go and eat with abandon?  Are all restrictions off?  How high do we pile our plates?  How many scoops or spoonfuls do we take of our favorite dishes?, or should we just take a small spoonful of everything?  Do we take a sample of everything and then go back and get more of our favorites?  Should we eat all the turkey our tummys can hold since we only prepare it once a year?  Why is turkey so special? And the final question...if there are two kinds of pie....one is pumpkin and the other is french chocolate silk...do we stuff it in anyway?  The answer is probably, more than likely, yes....I better fit in my 30 minutes of exercise early on Thursday...the BIG Day.
