    Seeing all those Holiday hams and Christmas roasts can dissuade anyone to go on a diet. Some people are already searching for tips and ways to control their eating. However, according to a University of Windsor associate psychology professor, everyone can forget about dieting over Christmas and starting a New Year’s resolution, Professor Josee Jarry says that no one should diet, as reported by Windsor Star. 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. Her tip is to never deprive yourself of food because there is no need to stuff the stomach on what is always been there. Jarry specializes in eating disorders and body image. 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. Sometimes we go out to eat and sometimes just stay home and watch tv. Since my best friend is out of town I probably won’t do much with friends. I always have a great…

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…
