Season fun

[Guest guest]

I've been preparing to make cookies and candies to share with some of

the special people in my life. I love doing this and the people who

receive them enjoy them because they don't get homemade treats

otherwise. I've also been wondering how well I would do when all these

tasty tidbits are gathering in my kitchen before I package and pass

them out. I received this FUN email today so thought I'd share it with

those of you who likewise have cookie/candy angst this time of year -

Christmas Cookie Rules...

1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has

no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test

and thus calorie free.

2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it

also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie

calories.

3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas

cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend.

Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, rule #1 is yours

also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the

friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.

4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall

to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to

gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas

cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess

frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.

6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red

ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each

letter. Make more red ones!

7. Cookies eaten while watching " Miracle on 34th Street " have no

calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not

part of one's personal fuel.

8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the

process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no

calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and

will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!

10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories

because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's

a rule!

* * * * *

I've added one rule to this list -

11. AND all cookies baked in the spirit of the season can't have ANY

calories because angels claim them all!!!

Hope all of your holiday doings are FUN and just what you want to do too.
