I have never understood how people can gain five or ten pounds over "The Holiday Season". I'm just curious what it is about those two holidays (Christmas and Thanksgiving, and even Easter for that matter) have so much of an issue for people?

Just think of all the food we consume......lets see: specialty cookies, cakes, turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potato's, yams, casseroles, need I go on......it is inevitable that we all tend to over indulge in some of the most fattening foods there are.....Chalk it up to the Spirit of the Season......ppl seem to be in more festive moods, there are parties galore not to mention the fact the most of us seem to become even more festive plied with food and drink.......
It isn't really that it is an issue, in as much as it is a reason to indulge.......all most of us need is a semi-plausible reason and off we go.

Because those seasons consist of the biggest meals of the year. Everyday dinners do not consist of as much food. Plus there are more things like christmas cookies, egg nog, fruit cakes, and fruit pies.

Come by my house for the holidays and you'll find out! lol
the holiday time is filled with parties and events in which food is involvled. often time is it's food that you dont eat all through the year and people have a tendency to overdo it when i comes to their favorites.

It just seems like there is food around all the time. I make dozens and dozens of cookies for coworkers and friends. There is always stuff being brought in at work. Alot of vendors send us baskets full of food. For those of us who love to eat, it's alot of temptation.

Dear, I don"t get it either but people get caught up in the revelry and just forget about day to day living. That and most people don"t bake or cook as lavishly as they do on special times of the year !

Well, I know at my house, I do a lot of extra cooking of candies, cakes, sweets, etc. and if they are there, I am going to eat them. People tend to eat more due to doing to more parties and all.
