Ah Thanksgiving. Is there anything better than a day dedicated to food, family, friends and fabulous slothfulness? It's all great, but one of our favourite aspects of the day is the food.

So last week, I asked you what your favourite Thanksgiving Day dish is. Here's what you had to say:

• 32 percent of you love the stuffing.
  
• 22 percent of you love potatoes -- either mashed or sweet.
  
• 20 percent of you love turkey the best.
  
• 16 percent of you hold out for dessert -- it's your favourite part of the meal.
  
• 8 percent of you love the veggies.
  
• 2 percent of you are crazy about cranberry sauce.
  

Thanks for sharing ... though all of a sudden. I'm feeling a bit hungry.

For me, participating in a cookie exchange at Christmas is bad news. I always tell myself I'm joining because I want to collect a bunch of different kinds of cookies so I can freeze them and bring them out when company is over, but who am I kidding? Those suckers are gone by Christmas Eve. And really, I don't get enough company to justify 12 dozen different varieties.

Diet guru Julia Havey recently put together a list of the worst holiday diet disasters. Here are her picks:

• Egg Nog. One serving is 460 calories!
• Cheese balls. They're pretty much all fat. Ick.
  
• Pecan Pie. It's 500 calories per slice, and that's without ice cream
• Candied yams. They'll pack a sugar punch, especially if they have marshmallows.
  
• Canned Cranberry Sauce. It has 200 calories per half cup, and zero nutritional value. Make your own
• Stuffing. You can make healthy stuffing, so do it instead of relying on Stove Top

What's your holiday vice?
