THAT TIME OF YEAR in Postcards 4

It’s that time of year again. First we have a food holiday, then we have a decorate holiday, then give a present, and lastly a food holiday again. For those of us who can’t eat a lot of foods, these holidays offer ruination.

When I was a kid, I ate everything and got really sick…every year, several times a year including Easter. As I got older, I ate less of the goodies like turkey, gravy, and stuffing. Now that I am old, if 76 is considered old now, I finally limit my holiday eating to those things that sit well. Usually.

Don’t laugh.

I can eat pies, I can eat whipped cream. I can have a naked slice of turkey, and a pile of buttered mashed potatoes. Then Friday it’s back on the lower sugar and very low carb diet. Boy, till then I’m going to have eating fun.
