So you survived the three endurance tests of Christmas:
One, hearing the old folk recanting stories you hear every year and feigning surpise and laughter at punch lines.
Two, maintaining that lingering, pleased, giddy look when in receipt of a present that just doesn't cut it (you shouldn't have bothered! No really......you shouldn't have bothered)!
Three, filling your belly to the brim! Gorging as if this is your last supper! Packing your face till the belly stretch marks appear.
And the number one culprit behind your distended stomach? That seductive Emu sized Christmas Turkey you'll still be eating into the New Year.
