Woe is Me

Well, here it is, Christmas Eve day and I'm sitting at home with a retched hangover. Why, you ask? Enablers. Dear friends who took us out to a very fine Italian restaurant last night forced us to over-imbibe, as usual. They are wonderful folks - very generous and fun to be with. But they always, always, encourage us to drink too much, eat too much and generally have too good a time. On top of this, they give us gifts like Godiva chocolates and other irresistable goodies.
The power is ours, you might say,(as Captain Planet did). We could easily turn them down - not go have loads of fun and enjoy their stimulating company. But we're mere mortals - weak and prone to lapses in our resolve. So here's my wish to you. May you find yourselves with such enabling friends this holiday season. You'll have a terrific time. Plus, you'll have that much more to repent for come January. So eat, drink and overindulge with reckless abandon. And have one for me!
