    I'm a firm believer in just walking.

    Running is just too hard on the body.

    19 deep-fried chocolate cupcakes
    Never tried that one before.

    300,000 gallons of egg nog
    Is this with or without a 'kick of rum' or some nice brandy?

      I sure hope waddling burns calories. That's pretty much my choice.

    Do I have to have eaten everything on the list, or is 300,000 gallons of egg nog enough to have to call the fire department?
