‘Tis the season to eat, beverage and be merry!

If you’re doing all of those things currently, good for you. Christmas cookies are the best. Latkes are delicious. And that duck you simply eat? Unreal.

Although we firmly believe calories shouldn’t counting in the month of December — or ever, really — they do. And come January 1, we don’t want you to have to set an all the more important weight loss aim than you already had in mind.

In an effort to help you indulge this holiday season without packing on the pounds, we’ve decided to provide you with some valuable information about how many calories you’re actually consuming during an afternoon of holiday cheer … and how much exercising it was necessary to burn it off.

Good luck to all and to all a good night.
