Lets Continue The Traditions!

Christmas, that time of the year were we eat like there's no mañana! Let's talk about delicious unhealthy food, shall we? I live in Puerto Rico and here we eat -for some weird reason that i really don't understand- lots of christmas dishes made with coconut. By now you're supposed to be asking "What the hell have christmas to do with coconuts?" That's a really good question! So good that i have no idea what the answer is! ... but rest assured, if i ever discover why almost all xmas dishes in Puerto Rico have coconut i will tell you. Like this arroz con dulce i just made... No, i won't eat all that....

Anyway... it doesn't matter where you live, there is one golden rule for christmas food: it has to be deliciously unhealthy full of fat food. Yes, its true and you my dear reader know im not lying about this. Why all this season food have to be like that? Simple, so we can gain weight. Yeah, thats it... we eat delicious food, we get fat and even when we know whats going on because those jeans are not closing easily like they used to, we keep eating and drinking all the goodies our family gave us because its just for the holidays. I mean, come on! We have the rest of the year to eat healthy, right?

We eat like insane almost the entire month of December (and part of January if you celebrate the 3 wise men day) and then January came and slap us in the face with the typical "you gain too much weight and you have to lose all that". The guilty, yeah guilty!  That's what January use to make us feel miserable for being over weight. Basically, xmas tradition is eat a lot, get fat, feel bad for being overweight, work your butt off at the gym and repeat this process again at the end of the year. Awesome, right?! So lets keep the tradition alive while we celebrate this season. Now, if you excuse me i will eat my arroz con dulce.

Long live to traditions!
