I finished the last of my shopping today. I’m thrilled to be done with everything but the wrapping of all those presents and making cookies. In our house we make the same cookies my mother made. My kids love the tradition of it and are happy to gobble up as many cookies as I’ll let them have. I’m sure I’ll be sampling a few myself– you know, to make sure they’re good enough to share with friends and family.

All that cookie sampling will be followed by a session in our Hot Box Detox. We can burn up to 800 calories in one session, not to mention all the detoxification that happens at the same time.
