Well I have to admit that my little idea of refraining from eating sweets for a week has been a complete and utter failure! I think I lasted about one day!!
I have never been very good at deprivation! 
I’m not really that surprised at my lack of willpower, because after all it is SUGAR SEASON!
You see, Sugar Season begins Oct 31 with Halloween Trick or Treat.
It then continues through November with Thanksgiving pies.
Christmas cookies and candy are impossible to resist,
and then we’re into New Years Eve alcohol.
But it doesn’t end there!
Next we have Valentines Day chocolates,
and then – FINALLY – Sugar Season comes to its grand finale with chocolate Easter bunnies and jelly beans.
(There aren’t any major Sugar Festivities between Easter and Halloween, unless you count June wedding cakes!)

It’s just interesting, how Sugar Season corresponds with winter darkness and cold.
As if we are trying to sweeten life…?
And so it is.
If you are looking for me, I’ll be over at the dessert table!
