Bring us some figgy pudding...

Not that we'll eat it or anything. Statistics now available on Elle about holidays affecting anorexia and bulimia. Studies point to the presence of family monitoring consumption of holiday goodies as a trigger for stress and consequent unhealthy eating patterns for those suffering. And that takes away from the happy in 'Happy Holidays'. 1 Corinthians says that "...Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
During this season of preparation for the coming of Jesus, focus on making a sacrifice for the sake of our savior. Rather than deprive your body, consider it a temple of the Holy Spirit--the best Christmas gift you've ever received.
