The only way for anyone to enjoy Christmas or the Holiday feasts is to not diet at all. She says that if a person is not a dieter, that person can enjoy that Christmas food every day.

She supervises the Studies in Psychology of Appearance (SPA) lab, as reported by University of Windsor. According to her, it is alright to eat everything you see on the feast table.

    because we are older. We all have a really fun time shopping. We don’t usually buy a lot of stuff, but it is just nice being able to go. After Black Friday shopping I usually go and stay at my cousins. After shopping we don’t usually do most. I usually either go back home to stay at my cousin’s house. We don’t usually do much.

Firstly, Christmas doesn't have the meaning it used to. On this certain day were are supposed to celebrate the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. Too many people think of nothing…

    people that Jesus’ birth is why we celebrate Christmas. Although some people remember that Jesus came into the world on that day, most people have lost the true meaning. Thousands of Americans just look at Christmas as an opportunity to receive presents, or various other selfish reasons. Retailers just look at it as a way to make extra money. Few see the real meaning. Our culture has gone so far as to say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” just to take Christ out of Christmas and avoid…
