In Dante's Inferno, the gluttons are subject to wallowing in a mire of muck as their punishment in Hell. Hopefully Virgil doesn't appear to me to take me on any journeys through Hell in the near future, because if he does, I think he might decide to leave me in the mud with Ciacco.
Christmas is a time of much eating at the Johnson house and I'm pretty sure I've consumed more calories in almond bread, cookies, chocolate, and mashed potatoes alone in the past five days or so than the average Somali consumes in his/her entire diet over a four month period. I would tell myself, "It's okay; I will snowboard them all off on my trip to Park City this week," but seeing as there's not a whole lot of snow in UT right now, I don't know how much snowboarding is actually going to take place on the family trip. In fact, if there isn't enough snow to go out on the mountain, I will probably just end up sitting around inside all day with my family and eating even more sweets.
I guess I better start praying for snow.
