Ho ho, oh no, the holidays. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays. Especially the flavors involved; pumpkin, gingerbread, and eggnog all get a hearty oh-oh-yes from me. But the pure volume of food and drink, at some point, becomes nearly obscene.

So you skip the big, gooey slice of gingerbread cake and opt for a drink instead, only to find, come January, that -- what the gingersnap?! -- you can't snap your jeans.
