I don’t know about you all, but I am fully in the throes of my post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas “let’s-take-a-break-from-eating-pie-for-breakfast” period. It’s not a phase that lasts long (I mean, we have Christmas parties starting soon, and if you think I won’t eat my weight in sugar cookies, you are wildly incorrect) but it’s a definite one or two-week period that strikes every year. It’s a critical rest from indulgence that allows us to rally for the rest of the year and enjoy baked brie and champagne cocktails and Christmas cookies to the absolute fullest extent during the holiday. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, after all.
