Many of us gorge on rich foods over the holidays and then, in disgust with ourselves, pledge to avoid overindulging when the new year rolls around.
Are you the type who tosses everything in the garbage on Jan. 1, or gives it away to relatives/friends/neighbors?
Or do you refuse to discard the last of the candy, pastries, chocolates, etc. and simply vow not to buy anymore when they're consumed, whenever that may be?
Or maybe you're the type who goes off to the supermarket in search of even more holiday junk food that has now gone on sale so you can have a stockpile for the coming weeks and months?

Thinking of also buying them a big bag of unsalted peanuts in shell, to help them make it through this unusual cold snap. They love those, and it's convenient for them to carry if they so desire.
