Christmas Cookie Calories - How Many Have You Burned Lately?

cookieLast week, you told us that -- for the majority of you -- Christmas cookies were your biggest holiday weakness. But if you had a few more than you'd planned on over the past few weeks, don't beat yourself up over it -- you may have already burned them off in all your hectic Christmas activities.

Assuming a Christmas cookie has 90 calories ...

  • An hour of singing Christmas carols burned off one cookie.
  • An hour of writing Holiday cards burned off one and a half cookies.
  • An hour of baking burned off two cookies.
  • An hour of shopping burned off two cookies (and no one does just an hour of shopping -- if they do, I am so so jealous).
  • An hour of decorating burned off three cookies.
  • An hour of dancing burned off three and a half cookies.
  • An hour of shoveling snow burned off four cookies.
  • An hour of splitting wood for the fire burned off four and a half cookies.

See? Those holiday cookies don't seem so bad now, do they?
