So if I'm still hanging <span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">mistletoe</span> the week before Christmas that's okay. I'll try to enjoy other blogs and get <span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;">inspiration</span> from them... and try not to feel guilty about being poky.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;">W</span>e have eaten so much over the Thanksgiving<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;"> holiday</span> that I am going<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"> lite</span> on food consumption this week, but not on the food itself.
